each day for a surf before getting sick of the drive.Myself 30mins a day is enough probably because i travel 1hr each way to work.

10 - 15 minutes unless its a South Coast day trip

Chrispy i believe you do the travel to meet up with you're idol the Prez

yes that i do mate. oh and how i hate that ****ing drive as well. only for mac though

I can check about 4 beaches, with numerous breaks in under 5- 10 minutes, drive 10-15 minutes more probably goes to 8 -10, But longer drive usually equals less crowds, if it's good somewhere ill happily drive half hour But usually I just surf in town, so 10 minutes.

For a day trip 2 hrs each way, is about the limit.

Sunscreen whats that ? Haven't used sunscreen in about 6 months Chrispy .

Hanging out for summer Wife is actually on the plane on the way to the gold coast now to see the daughter . Had to go shopping for summer clothes before she departed . Temp mid 20 s up there she was told .

It's an hour each way for me. It's great now my young fella is surfing now as we get to have a good chat on the way.

Where u heading to ? You have some great waves 30 mins max from your place!!! PM me the details I have 9 waves that cover almost anything within 6km of my place - add another 10 in each direction and you get a lot more. Normally 5 mins 80% of the time covers me. If I have some free tIme I am happy to do a Sandon run - 3hrs or a Seal run 2.5hrs.....I have also been known to catch a plane and rent a car and drive as well. It just depends on a whole load of things...from annoyance, to joy to escapism to going somewhere that I just love - they may have a good pie shop or do a great toasted BLT - or I may just keep driving even though i knows it's not worth it but I am enjoying what's on the radio and feel like a drive. When I lived in manly I just walked down the stairs crossed the street and hit the sand......but that wears off after a while because the crowds ruin it. I will go anywhere to avoid the crowds. I hate them

Why not your motorbike? let's hope it never comes to that Simondo

Hey Tassie I envy you ! My question was because 100kmof Prawn is within striking distance for me and SP - straight roads, minimal hills and nice roads in NSW these days makes a long distance trip easy - hence why it's always crowded at the known spots when it's on he knows something I need to know

I used to drive hours all of the time. Now I just got a big selection of toys to ride whatever's close by. It's fun whatever now, I don't know if I enjoy it more now or then? I know there's not many days leaning on the fence anymore.

mmmmmm what have we here RG don't know what to look at first - the waves in the distance or the tasty stuff in the van

Takes me 30 to 45 min depending on which beach. It can get expensive in petrol doing that too many times each week.

Years ago, would have gone hours, days to get good waves...
Now 10 - 15 mins max.

I'm lucky if the pipe is working I leave home 6am in the water by 10 past ,or the trip to Makaroi is 20min . One hour to the south is Mahia with several world class breaks . I think we have about 15 good breaks within 1/2 an hour of home . Work is just 5minutes away .
So you can keep your GC Asea , O did Imention we don't have crowds not like yours any way just the odd f---wit

Thats enough towball
