Dear Mr Greenroom, after numerous complaints from the missus you are here by, presented with a fixed penalty notice for the following;

Date 25.6.2008

Offence - Exceeding quota of fun hours available in 1 week

Location - Watermans Bay, 1st Reef, Perth WA

Evidence:



Penalty: 20hrs family service to be spent laying new pavers in back yard or any other ball breaking work...NOTE these hours can ONLY be served during epic / firing / it's on / c'mon this is going to the best day for AGES conditions for any of your watersports activities.

p.s if this is not you in the photo, please complete the statuary declaration on the rear.

After having scrolled through numerous forum topics all I can do is shake my head.

Now it it is time to name and shame some of you and hopefully you have a good hard look at yourself and question some of the stuff you post on this site.

When people ask where a break is ie rickswing asking about derrs why do people like LaurieP not only respond in a private email but also offer other advice of other places to check out? why would you do that? Are you someone who gets out of town for a wave to get there and then complain that it was crowded and crew were dropping in? Have you ever considered that that car with 5 guys in it that just pulled up is rickswing and his mates? or his mates mates?

Next,

Arthknob, has moved here 6 weeks ago and has the cheek to ask where to surf. Arthknob, go put some fuel in your car, open your eyes and go have a look.

We get people like big gill, wasyl and mjay gray giving arthknob a nice little run down on where to surf and when. We even get kitehard boasting about surfing with only 5 guys in the water. WHY?? your boasting is likely to to make your uncrowded surf a thing of the past.

What ever happened to the low key surfer? why is it that when ever people get great waves or uncrowded conditions they need to A) boast to everyone on this forum and B) take photo's and post them on this site with a nice liitle name of the spot

If no one has noticed Perth is currently experiencing a massive influx of East coast people who primarily work in the mining industry and with their work arrangements have time off during the week making the once uncrowded mid-week surf a thing of the past. Not only do these people now have more time to find less known places we help them by pointing them in the right direction.

Once again all I can do is shake my head and wonder why?
