Little overhead at the local today...for the 4 foot grommet getting pushed into waves by his dad

Raced home for the 666 & had some fun standing backwards watching behind the wave. Just seemed more interesting than the little wall in front...Then came home & set up my new router for my new NBN connection...yeah baby, I've Waited Awhile for this & the node is right next to my house. Stoked with some speedy internetz, must have been the sacrifice of my TV last night to obsolescence

NBN this Wednesday. Router arrived today. No more fuzzy NETFLIX.

And good thing i grew grew up in Gero. Gotta get my arvo onshore bash mojo on tomorrow.

My not so new job has turned me into a weekend warrior unfortunately.

Well this morning greeted The Gold Coast Godfather & I with some reasonable waves .... the reigning champion slipped outside & scored some lovely rides all the way in .... the highlight was the burning of one local brother to a charred singed piece of Bacon along the way ..... maximum points to a charging Asea who has surged up the leaderboard to within a point of Macaha ..... but he may rue getting a soft cock yesterday & earning nada points .... we wish good luck finding a parking spot at LM

Pup 7
Macaha 5.5 ***

Nice Drip, your gonna love it. How far are you from the node?

Ted I just got a 24mbps plan with TPG, might upgrade the speed later if a cheaper plan comes along. This ones $70 unlimited data pay as you go phone which will never be used for outgoing calls.

Before on ADSL2 testing on speedtest I had 22 ping & a DL of 8.7mbps
Now 12 ping, 23.5mbps DL...I'm the only one connected on my street at the moment

.....going for a paddle later when the tide comes up

Lol. 0.1 Mbps is my present download speed. I am about 70m from the node.

Do different speed test sites give different results?

edit: apparently they do. Another site just said 1.8 mbps. Sounds quick to me as downloading a 3meg pic takes longer than 3s.

Yep just around the corner from you Macaha this morning, first decent waves on the new board, perfect.....

I'd guess a combination of distance from the exchange & old copper is effecting the performance of your current connection.

70m from the node is awesome mate, you should get near on 100% of the speed you sign up for like me

........went for a paddle on the 666 & was surprised to find waist high waves with no one out. I was stoked coz i expected it to be flat

Where and time Pup,Asea aka the king surfed Kirra super early I surfed 2 points north in a better tide.

The king is frothing at the new board coming his way,I've called it thunder bird 2,because its wide and it loved todays conditions.

Lovely she is a stunner

New Board Watto,any pics?...

Al,
Posted in the Board Porn thread a few weeks back.
Work and lack of waves has limited the chances of me getting her wet

Ah Yes,sorry Watto I do remember seeing that,Bloody beautiful board mate,glad it goes good for ya

2017 Beergarden Masters Surf Off - Goldie Southern Division

the crew was met with conditions that were full & a bit slow , Asea , Macaha & Vanders scoring early rides through inside , class & pedigree on show along with sparkling footwork & boardporn ..... SurfAnimal entered the fray with a couple of nice ones too .... one of which cost Pup a full point for a drop-in .... could be a costly error in the bog of it all .... grouse to meet SA , another quality fella we've been lucky enough to hook here

So the cream rose to the top , Macaha has put his heavy hand up & the chipolata's decision to pass may hurt given the double point round , the Prez has suddenly rocketed into 3rd

Leaderboard:
Macaha 8.5
Pup 8
Asea 6.5
Vanders 6
Lacey 5

Yes great fun this morning fellas.

Awesome board SA and you can see why its called a glide went very nicely,also fantastic to meet you thats another member always good.

Pup I dont know what got into you today but you have the crew talking should have seen there faces when I said hey I know him he's alright

Looks like its back to the coffee club boys,I dont know what happened at the please this morning but it was an absolute joke,I dont think the girl got one order correct oh other than Lacey's and mine,worst service I've ever uncounted.Vanders had steam coming out of his ears

I high tailed it to Byron headed straight to the new mct showroom drank coffee talked boards,then a little work related issue I had to take care of,I gave the surf festival and the mct comp a miss due to traffic and lack of carparks.

Geez I'm buggered if I know how I've ended up with even that many points????

bit off the B game today,3 hours sleep last night took its toll but good to be in the water just the same.

Again good to meet up with SA and Mrs SA, love that board mate, it's a cracker. Breaky yeah well I've got nothing on that front, hang on I did end up with 6 poached eggs......

Pup, don't let em take you down champion, I saw you nail a couple of crackers.

You should deduct 10 points from Lacey, for turning up with a shortboard knowing it's a longboard comp. Vanders should get double points for froth driving the distance for a surf.

Bugger mate bugger

Great pics SA, looks like heaps of fun, wish I was there to enjoy it with yuz

Yah bring on autumn SMH, cant wait mate
