Awesome shot Drip

Its a ripper. A mate took it. He always surfs a nearby wave but never travels south to where I surf, like I never travel north to his (yes there are a pile of reefies all lined up). He snapped it from the shore. I'd like to claim that was me on the bottom, but I'm a goofy. I'll let him know people appreciated it.

Give him the thumbs up from me as well - ripper of a shot ! ! ! ! ! I would also have been on the beach snapping shots that day - not in the water


Meanwhile not far from Al's place this happened today - they have now had an incident just north and just south of Forster. Summer crowds are days away. That place where the attack happened this morning will probably have 500 plus people camping there in a few weeks time.

Spoke to a mate today who lives up there - he said the same thing - and has been saying it for a while.

After reading this

The news will be a focal point for local surfers and fishermen, who’ve seen increased large shark activity in the area for some time, in sync with what’s been occurring four hours’ drive north.

Been wondering though what sort of car does NC drive? - his brother used to be a bit of a racer in the old days. I wonder if NC has a massive lead foot. It would be pretty dam hard to do that trip in anything close to 4 hours - unless there is some new secret road we don't know about. It takes over an hour to to go just south of Coffs to just North these days ! Plus that horrible bit south of Kempsey is not friendly either. Then further north you have the bends to deal with still. And before that you need to get in and out of Forster - and we all know how crap that can be at times

It was alright this morning. Moved between the two waves in the pic. Spent most of the time on the one with the surfer.

Seriously awesome pic Drip.

Not wanting to pick any fights but You do realise the drum lines they are using are the "Smart style" and everything they catch they are simply tagging and releasing..Id say they have gone with the method they think will get the least political backlash..

No I didn't know that those were the drum lines.

But that was not what I was asking...again.

Move along nothing too see again again

Yeah that's exactly what I thought too mate - might be something early tomoz before the wind hits it actually the week looks interesting
