I reckon if you have a white longboard at least 10 feet long with a red nose on it, any Noah is going to think twice, because you look at least big enough to put up a fight. Anything shorter, well, you've only got yourself to blame......

So so many more people entering the ocean on different forms of craft and shark numbers growing like wild fire, as Cobra said more many more to come sadly. I was never bothered about them but after our attack and so many sightings and chat in the water it's freaked me

I surf with the SWAT-T in my pocket, and have the CAT sitting on the roof of my car.

Vale Michael Tomson, gone at 66.
He and (especially) his cousin Shaun were in so many of the mags and movies when I was a teen.

I think Michael Thomson was in Free Ride a bit if I remember right . Great flick . Saw it at Nelson Bay cinema when on holidays up there in the 70's . Seeing surf movies like that on the big screen was unreal .

Sadly legend surf photographer Martin Tullemans has passed away.



From the paper today
Tributes are flowing for one of the world's greatest surfing photographers, Martin Tullemans, who has passed away on the Gold Coast.Tullemans, 68, died in Tweed Heads Hospital after a long battle with ill health. He was lauded as one of the finest in his craft, capturing some of surfing's most iconic images which ran in magazines worldwide.One of surfing's most colourful characters, Tullemans also inspired a generation of fellow lensmen before the digital revolution. "Sadly Martin Tullemans has passed away this morning," his sister Mary Shaw posted on Facebook on Tuesday. "Loved by many. A beautiful humorous man who brightened manys' day. "His surfing images recorded the 70s to 2000 , from Kirra to Hawaii succinctly." Ms Shaw said there would be a ocean memorial for her brother at 7am on December 27 in front of the Coolangatta Surf Club.

Thanks for the heads up. I last saw him at Tom Hoyes paddle out in May. He was a funny and generous guy who charged solid waves.

Thanks Macaha

Never did get to meet Greenroom but know guys who knew him well, spoke highly of him and I loved his wind ups on the forum.

RIP

Oops. Had a few beers while reading here and elsewhere about Greenroom, AKA Greenie. Then a couple of days later I went to log back in and saw that I'd changed my username from Greeney.

I think i thought, "hey, there's only one Greenie, Greeney." Can't quite recall.

Anyway, vale Greenroom. He seemed like a wonderful fella who lived live to the full. Much loved.

With that in mind, here's a Raymond Carver poem, written when he knew he was not long for this world...

'Late Fragment'
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
