I hear ya Ted. When I had my first surf in 17 years last month, I wondered where did all these people come from ? It wasn't that crowded in the late 80's. I think we need to stop breeding or the government need to build more beaches.
I think that comes under infrastructure.

Sharks tend to thin things out

I did not see any this morning but surfed with between 3 and 5 others. It sucked

Just a few questions on this :

Bloke on the left of screen - Why didn't he go right?
Second from the left - Why is he even going?
Guy paddling on the right - Why is he still paddling ?

I thought Mac lived in QLD?

Has the dude on the left of shot got booties on???

Is it still that cold down that way???

you were close OB - its Ekman Transport! A very interesting concept.....We get loads of cold water over here on the east coast because of it - due to the consistent northerly winds in the summer months we get water transport away from the coast (it travels approximately at 90 degrees to the left of the wind surface direction here in the southern hemisphere - opp in the north) so as the surface water moves away the colder / deeper water rises and thats why its cold!! Its all because the earth rotates - water on the surface is deflected by the wind and naturally wants to flow from the high side to the low side - the Coriolis effect. Works opp in the north to the south but not on the equator....the Ekman Spiral measures the way in which the wind driven ocean currents vary with depth - and the net movement of water due to this is the Ekman Transport.

Or you get softer the further north you go....

relatively speaking......when you move from NZ you get really soft!!!! Not sure how you do it down there Tux - maybe I am just getting old
