Surfing the bower in winter
In winter the water gets down to around 14-16o, so be sure to bring your steamer. The Bower is an awesome spot, does get a bit crowded, but in my opinion is well-worth a paddle. In terms of localism, it pretty much the same as everywhere else - show a little respect, no dropping in and you'll be sweet. Manly is a haven for beginners, so look out for a few wayward boards on the main beachbreaks. In terms of other spots nearby, you'll nearly always be able to find a wave at Curly (Curl Curl), or Dee Why to the north. Long Reef slightly further up faces more south, and even further up the peninsula is the classic Nth Narra. Enjoy!

Tom scwheigher?
How is that KOOK in foto #2 pulling in? looks to me like hes going to bus ride that 1 foot slop onto the rocks. This server needs to have a looser photo filter so that we don't have to look at this crap

Hahaha kooks
HAHAHAHA look at some of those photos, that kook is going LEFT and doing a hand-drag spin, in 1 ft slop. Is that photo done by the same guy who posted the photo claiming the wave is 8ft, when its really about 2ft? This wave is shit. Might as well surf balmoral.

Answer to the Fuckwit question
A message to "surf stoke" from Florida I think it was posted some time back now. Mate, I agree with your comments about the aggro and stuff, but in answer to your question "what is a fuckwit?" - you wont find this answer in your pocket dictionary, but you probably voted for a "fuckwit" in your last presidential elections. Over here in Oz, we call our fuckwit the prime minister. Hope that answers your question after all of this time. Keep surfing people!
