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?

this is sarcasm isn't it?

LaurieP you saying you would rather come over the hill and see more cars parked up at your favourite surf spot? if your answer is no then you are your own worst enemy

Once there is too many ppl in the take off spot fun turns into frustration, the lineup dissapears and crew drop in

Look, I don't think its unreasonable to tell one guy who hasn't had the luxury of living here all his life so as to find the spots himself about a not-very-secret spot.

As to Lancelin, there is plenty of room there for all and I had no qualms about posting that publically.

Cheers.

i agree perths waves are poor quality 90% of the time..

captain bob.. i have the same philosophy, i like showing actual mates new places and vice versa thru word of mouth

btw never ever seen a 4ft wave in perth before

If you havent seen a 4ft wave in perth,i dont think you,ve been surfin very long.been surfin mainly scarb to trigg stretch 24 yrs,and seen some great days.admittedly not that often.If you bag the place so much,you could move!By the way,secret spots in Perth...are you kidding,like every city has a spot x...maroubra,gold coast,bells,etc,anyone who knows this country knows the spots

Maybe there is a little truth in what surfingman says, we have a finite quantity of waves, the population is increasing and so are the the crowds in the line up Its not hard to agree about low key surfers, why not enjoy it for what it is without over -exposing, posting photo's and directions etc. It disappoints me that fello surfers promote surfcams and surf reports and the exploitation of surfing and for what! money, to boost thier egos? just look at wannasurf and see people tripping over themselves to out as many surfspots as they can - why would you do that?

Dont get me started on surfmags and corporate surfing.

Localism sucks but so does the opposite.

Surferman does have a point. Never name a spot. Go find it yourself, whether YOU think it can handle the extra crowd or not (north,south, off shore) other people may not agree with you.

I recon surfingman surfs a mal & is a danger to all in the line up (like the guy who neerly killed me @ Secret Harbour the other day) as he cant surf so he has to write crap like this to make himself feel better, he needs to pull his head out of his arse and have a good hard look @ himself. Surfing with crowds makes you a better surfer.
By the way Secret Harbour is not a secret or a harbour!!

Would'nt be telling people that they can't surf by the looks of your picture. by the looks of it, it seems you have the stance technique of a learner (POO STANCE).
