Great question....

Maybe Noosa for winter. The soft Sunshine crew stay out of the water !!

Potentially a place like Lombok Indonesia. Probably not Bali. But semi close to Bali... I would be nice to rack up some serious time in Indo in early retirement....

But I know a wave near Noosa that would suit me in retirement..... Mix that up with Torquay..... I know a few great waves just south of Torquay that will also suit me !

Probably Coffs Harbour - just love the feel of the place/great surf variety and really nice, chilled people and it's central to the big smokes if you need a fix.

Why settle for one place? Why not buy a nice old liveable ocean going catamaran or yacht and choose where you laid up?

That's my plan anyways, then if you get sick of a place you can move on and take your house with you, or stay as long as you like.

Around the Coffs area for sure. Plenty of surf options and its not over developed. Reasonably warm water in winter as well and good fishing.

Not Bali so much over it that I an giving my seat away for next months trip.
Noosa too expensive and too crowded when its on.
Byron hmm or maybe 5 mins south west
Tugun,**** thats just down the road,no thanks.
I think I'll just die young and make no plans.

Appreciate the invite mate. May be down your way next week delivering a board and will be bringing my new log to christen on the point. The ice cream man was only raving about your new pad today and about how much you love sharing the big "A" so blame him if I turn up and wreck it

The issue is not where but when .In retirement you have more options of when you surf (ie not school hols like last Sunday at Crescent where surf was very good but a bit like dodgem cars once you got a wave. and it's winter school hols) ... a don't forget the anti -inflams old fellas

Well your not going believe this story that just happened 5 mins
ago.I live on a canal with a park layered with trees along the waters
edge.

Anyway it cold and wet here atm,I walked outside and saw this guy
walking without a shirt on remember its cold as,so I think weird I'll keep
an eye out,next second I see this chick wearing JUST a black g sting
WTF,I'm in shock at this stage and still am as I type.They are in the middle
of this park were even on this wet day people walk their dogs and they are having
full blown public sex I mean 69 and the rest FM.

That's dedication, cold, wet and in the middle of a park yet the guy still goes the to trouble of having a good old feed down at the "Lazy Y cafe".

If that was me I would have been the one faking the orgasm so I could GTF back home in front of the telly.

And yes, we are disappointed in you not getting pics, shame shame shame
