Anyone that reckons they aren't a little mad is lying.

That particular day Tea Trees and the Boiling Pot were going off. Very crowded. Even a bloke called Barton Lynch was getting dropped in on....and...Yep, it was bigger than 3 foot yesterday. Tama had a nice 4-5 foot left. Stinky water tho. Ah yes.. The wonder of Sydney Sh*T.

who cares, Im just jealous he got to surf Noosa. Mind you I would have hit tea trees or the boiling pot...

How big was the surf for the late yesterday. Sure seemed bigger than 3ft to me

is this guy below fkn mad or what

I remember a cyclone at Noosa. I was surfing and playing chicken with the rocks at First Point when I the clubbie DJ blurted " Exposed Rocks and dangerous conditions. Boardriders are to come in"

The waves were breaking on the rock wall due to the king tides etc.. Sure enough my leggie snapped and I had to to swim in red faced. Much to their disgust two hotties recoved my board and I not only had a good session in the surf but an even better one later on after dinner with the two girls.

The surf is not too bad today. A little bit messy though.

3 degrees to starboard mr marcus pls.

Plus charge you for the ride

Thats not the rule.

The rule is rthat when the beach is closed clubbies tell swimmers they don't know not to go in, and also boogie boarders, surf mat riders and people who put their leg ropes on at the back of the beach. They let normal surfers go in.

If however its super massive and they are sick of rescuing a lot of surfers they will try to stop surfers too. Its abit hard when they are jumping off the rocks etc.

If its super super massive they will send the helicopter to tell you to go in.

If its ridiculous, and you are too, they will send a boat from Sydney Harbour to rescue you 2km off Dover Heights 6 hours after you foolishly jump off the rocks under Waverley Cemtery.

usual rule if beach is closed is the clubbies will confliscate your cossies if you try to go in the water

nah, if the beach is closed you can go in but if you get in trouble no one will attempt to rescue you cause its to dangerous

What are the rules when they close the beach? Can you still surf without them going nuts? I am not proposing that it is wrong to close the beach, just looking to understand the policy.

Do they close it based on size or 'danger' factor or something else. I.E onshore 8 foot slop may be deemed to be more dangerous than 8 foot spray off the back beauties.

Is this standard policy across NSW?

wind has been howling for days. every morning i head down in the hope of getting something. no go.

heard there were nice peak yesterday arvo 'briefly' at Curly.

Im pretty sure the beach will be closed for a couple of days

Good day to catch up with the misses I reckon.

is the beach still closed today? :(

is there any ridable waves today

Mark got a 9.8 in the final but not good enough. Came 3rd overall which is brilliant.

Just a few blues after 6p. Not too bad.

Mark Matthews surfing in the semi finals tmw morning at Pipeline.

any bluebottles today?

the practical result of the myschool website is that, once identified as an under performing school. parents move there kids to a better school. which then frees the under performing school to be sold off to gouge cash out of the NSW tax payers

keep them accountable

Le Gillartine says once upon a time she asked Education Dept to tell her which schools needed more resourcing and they couldn't do it. She reckons myschool.com.au is the way to find the schools needing resourcing.

Maybe they should also get the French Government to actually pay for the Maroubra High School they "bought" off Monsieur Carr just before he retired.

whats the point of the myschool website? it certainly doesnt do anything about schools which require addition resources. Must be an election year

I copped a bluey necklace while out this arvo, my armpits have just stopped throbbing and the welts are starting to subside. Nice.

Warning, blue bottles are in (Sunday Arvo)

Is it polite when tourists are touching the blue bottles to tell them they make great neclaces?

If I had kids, the government would shoot them, I am not fit to breed !

If I had kids, I'd be sending them to the Maroubra Junction School and not the Maroubra Bay School. ...but I don't have any kids ...that I know about.

SPeaking of levels of education...that myschool.edu.au website that has been getting people worked up reckons Maroubra schools are doing pretty well.
