stay home
One of you kooks in Israel decided to fly all the way over to Western Australia to run me down in my own local surf break and severely bruise my forearm. Not satisfied with that the selfish little bastard mouthed off. Absolutely no respect. We all know who he is and if comes back to Israel in a pine box you will all know why. Show some respect motherfuckers or stay home.

un fit!!!
Not bad waves, peaking out back and then re-forming on the inside, 8-14 people out and a couple of goatboats.  The waves were OK, but I was soooo unfit that it was quite painful.

Trip: Not a surf trip...
By Pisco23, From 2007-02-15 to 2007-02-23
Not a surf trip, but if there are any waves, I'll try and get wet.  Had good conditions here last year at about the same time.
