Judging by what I showed on that facebook page to mac and vander- there has been 15 incidents involving great whites in that part of the world in 10 months. 4 or 5 of those in byron..
2 at watego beach a local told me if you knew water pass through the channel at watego beach you wouldnt surf there

That doesnt include that Japanese surfer that died either

Noosa looks real good

cant be ignored anymore.

noel wont dw down there anymore. his brother got knocked out of a boat by a gw at Julian rocks Byron.

to be honest im having second thoughts about dwing even down the tweed coast myself.

the water seems more 'alive' than the goldie.

but each to there own- you go get um balina boy

Not to take things lightly but I still reckon the chances of a car accident on the way to the beach are higher.

That's quite unnerving Boof.

Noosa is totally crap.

The predictions are that there will be no swell of any significance until at least next year.

No point heading this far north lads.

Cool. If it looks a bit sharky anywhere we can send you out first.

Someone did a break down of those figures in the 666 room a while ago.

If you use the ocean its not the the lightening strike type figures.

throw in 2 to 3 surfs a week. Then add in known shark cafes and all of a sudden its not pie in the sky stuff.

those figures they quote count the whole population. A lot never even go in the ocean.

ot would be playing on my mind if I was living in known areas

You guys should talk to Dave from Katana and see how the system works. It will make all the difference for you in the water and won't effect the performance at all

I also agree it can't be ignored
