My favourite name which I created for a break is "why would you want toos" pronounced "why would you wannoo's". Who's got a cool name for there local?

i think you would learn more about life & surfin at da point, in 12months than any were on the metro coast
back to the topic now
Hi Spot 1. No denying Trigg " Point " -
( in fact isn't a true point ), is a great wave on it's day. If you can handle the crowds fine, but for me it's just got way, way too crowded. Last time I went out there for a surf which would be at least 3 years ago now , it was just so hopelessly crowded and quite dangerous. Boards were flying everywhere and the drop ins were rife.
No matter how deep I took off, someone would drop in on me either immediately, or even down the line. I have great memories of one of the best sessions I ever had there. It was mid 70s, hot summer's afternoon, moderate on shore, 6 foot off the bubble, and guess what -only four other guys out for 2 hours late afternoon .
The closest I get to Trigg these days is for a relaxing swim and lunch with my wife and family around the other side of the rock.
Me learning more about life ? I am in my 50s, still ride a 6 foot board, am happy than I have ever been.
When we all get a bit older we may find that life will have taught us quite a lot.
Anyway, whatever the main thing is wherever you surf enjoy it. That's all that matters.
My life mantra : " Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every night, every month , every year, every breath, every heartbeat is my precious gift. "

Is this what everyone calls it or was it made up by my brothers mates?

Nope he just watched TV long time back. Fraggle Rock was a cartoon segment, on in the mornings. Used to get up and go to work 5.30 am, and just before I left, my wife and daughters started to get up to watch "Fraggle Rock" Fraggles was the little cartoon characters in
the show
Our field service crew (me included) nick named Alcoa sites down South, as Fraggle Rock,
ay...how does I get one of those cool dog photos for my...avatar ? is that what they're called ?

Hi Greenroom, I think they might, next time I'm out surfing there I'll paddle up and ask a few guys.
...get back to ya.
I hear tell some have named it " roundsignwithrocksonit"
By the way, is there in fact actually a rock or rocks there at all ?
Last time I looked it was a sand bottom.
Cranium hit the bank fuul force a few months ago so I was in a good position to make a visual inspection of the bottom....
terrible..
