KEARNSY said...I wonder what the story is with this issue??
I have surfed all over our surf infested coastline all around the country and I have a real concern for our surfing future here in WA...
Why are soo many groms getting lids rather than glass weapons?
Mums and Dads- DOnt buy the kiddies a piece of foam for christmas!!!!
Buy em some surfing lessons that will also teach em how to survive out there, plus they'll be the envy of all thier mates and mates girlfriends.......
I enjoy watching doods charge dry reef and the roundest pits ever on lids but whats with the constant hassle. WHen ever you groms rock up yas act like its 10ft pipe at 2ft trigg. Then spin around and try and snake me then feel you have the right to yell at me to get off! Ill get off alright as soon as you ****s stand up and earn some respect Grrrrrrrrr[}:)]
...Damn right Kearnsy. I remember one other nasty collect I made with a Lid rider. It was where you really DO NOT want to to happen - South Point.
On this arvo 'twas pumpin' all the way in to Huzzas. You'd pull out on the left and watch another surfer pull out over at Huzzas on the very same swell.
Anyway as I sat waiting for a wave I saw literally a queue of Japanese boogie board riders walking out to the point. They'd all gotten off a tourist coach. Must've been about 8 of 'em. Anyway the inevitable happened. You would know what South Point's magic section's like about mid way through the ride. Anyway, I lined it up, planted my arse firmly on my inside rail, grabbed it and prayed.
Next thing I know one of the lid riders takes off on the green shoulder. Meanwhile I'm screaming through as per your surfing photo. BAM !!! straight into him and over we both go. What can you do ?
He surfaces and says " aw ! .....saw solly ...saw solly !!
...tell ya the truth Bakes 11, after the lid rider did that to me, I actually paddled back out when the bleeding stopped and I trie.d to find him.
