Hey fellas

What sort of rubber are you wearing these days - packing my bag in the next few days and need to know what to bring. I am hoping you will say spring suit only

Anyone keen for a beer / surf let me know - Mac and Chrispy have confirmed...

This Sat will be keen for a few beers and maybe a late arvo surf....Sunday is a dedicated surf with the crowds day and then off to Brissy for the week and then down to Byron on the following Friday until the Tuesday. So if anyone fancy's catching up let me know.

Yes it should be fun - can add to my list of extinct waves I have surfed (Kirra being another ). I am a big fan of Lenox Spazz - hope there is enough swell for the point although I doubt it - but time is on my side.

SHARKS everywhere at the moment, was out at wategos on Sunday and this MASSIVE bout 12 ft shark came into watties and started following and circling these 2 young girls on longboards, a mate of mine with balls of steel paddled over the top of it and noticed it was longer and especially wider than his 24" wide board.

i have surfed every day since and saw a shark everytime....

i hear they like NZlanders
