Yeah, I'll admit I'm a loser :oops:

Maybe you should try Maroubra. You sound like you could give those Bra boys a run for their money!!

Welcome to the forum :roll:

If yer expecting help its probably a good idea not to call the regulars losers. And to speak English. :roll:

Does exactly what it says on the can, retard.

You asked where, he gave you a place.

Syndey.


If you have trouble following this I would seriously advise buying a shotgun, for the most effective enlightenment place the barrel just below your left ear pointing upwards at a 45 degree angle.

Oh, and while you're at it, the guy you just called a loser happens to be both intelligent and funny.

My advice would be to start up north on the east during winter and move down the coast so during the high summer your down on the south coast. To really surf australia I would buy a touring van to sleep /cook in and some OS maps ...then its up to you

The best place to surf is a reef about 50m off the beach at Perth, but make sure you throw in a dead cow to scare all the great white sharks away... (most people don't know this, but the best way to scare away the sharks is to put heaps of blood and meat in the water)

just let me know before you do, so I can get the video camera.
