Don't know if towball is much better really........I am like "there are only two of us out in the water......if one person is paddling for a wave.....back off and wait for the next one"......but towball is like a little pitbull.......if you are paddling for a wave he can't help himself.......has to paddle for the same wave rather than wait for the next one lol
maybe he should totally join you aussies rather than just occasionally visiting.......or maybe you guys have been teaching him "aussie rules" surfing when he has been visiting
