I would rather rub my buttocks with drano I believe.

My God! If it ever gets like that here then I quit.

A few from Cyclone Pam in Auckland yesterday - at a spot that needs a big swell to break and the crowd showed up ! Still a few good ones the boys tell me

That clip was nuts,if they banned the short boarders and back packers, the pass it would be heaven,just kidding short guy's but as Lacey would say give my 1 2 foot any day its opens the entire GC for waves.

I remember saying in November here in Bali the water was the cleanest I've seen it over the years,but sadly right now it is a massive rubbish tip an absolute disgrace

Too many touros for the island to handle waste wise mate it's a pity

Bit lumpy but nice .... bit bumpy but nice .... some nice sized waves at times .... so all in all I guess you could say it was nice

Cool I'm looking forward to clean beaches and water and trying to ride my new toys next week

After my brief stay with Mr LFish we need to introduce you to some quality beach breaks. I had an absolute ball and it'll give you some variety to expand your mind mr McT.

Got a few little late Arvo peaks. Nothing special but water was really warm. Probably won't need a steamer till June .

I was too tired & depressed to surf today after this happened yesterday. There was like a medium size set wave & a bomb out the back. They both stood up for a long time before breaking like it was yesterday after the tide kicked in...I saw like 5 guys paddling for this bomb & then I couldn't see anything with this first medium set wave blocking my view. I paddled over it & the bomb was close behind it with my friend Marshall just taking off straight for me. All I had time to do was try & get as deep underwater as possible. Came up with Marshall saying he was so sorry. I was pretty happy I hadn't got injured, but got one of the worst dings I've ever had apart from snapping boards. I got 2 of these & had to head straight in & grab another board. Ended up having a great surf on the old Mardi Gra, but spewing eh

Clearwater Vs Clearwater, his board was fine. Very lucky he did not rip his fin plugs out, they're a bitch to repair. This is ugly but an easy repair at least

Deep and meaningful from another kind??

Deep yeah, sliced through top to bottom mate. Those pics are of the same slice top/bottom of the board. Mate was riding a 9' something Clearwater longboard 2 + 1 setup. Looks like it would have been longer if the centre fin didn't knock the sides out from slicing further.

Thats a worry when you see what fins can do to fibreglass. Skin would have no chance..

Yep I was stoked not to get injured, I'm headed to Japan next week for some snowboarding & stuff. Need to be fit & healthy *touch wood*

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate sorry to see that & yeah Marsh wouldn't have done that on purpose bloody terrible to see - if you thought yesterday was bad enough (and it was as you ended up seeing) well today had some real Monkey's arseholes out there & very early too ...... way packed & super dangerous if you were in the wrong spot
Put it this way I was gone by just after 8am which is pretty early for me - could not believe how many out of town no hopers there was

Yeah I kinda felt sorry for him coz he was so bummed out by what happened...but it was just plain rotten luck, line of sight was broken by the first wave of the set & we didn't see each other till it was too late.

Oh well, I'm getting a noserider in 6 to 8 weeks anway, I'll keep this one as a basher for the busy bigger days.

Bloody awesome shot mate

That sucks. Lucky the board and not you.
Since it's now your beater...
On an brighter note your invite to the Joel Tudor duct tape invitational is in the mail.
Duct tape can fix anything.
