Further to that on a different tack.
There will be guaranteed surf here for the next six weeks, I've given myself a partially torn medial co-lateral ligament in my left knee!
So no surfing for that long, I've designed my rehab program and exercises.

But I will share the photos I'm going to shoot, hopefully the shark won't be around and I can do some water shots.

Oh God, if I ever see a shark while surfing. I think I'll be traumatised for life and never ever go surfing again. Especially one that size. This is why you don't let kids watch scary films (Jaws) at a young age.

Bugger... how did you manage that? :(

But thanks for the heads up on the surf - I hope it's a whole east coast thing! :wink:

Ok, "Noah" is a new one for me.

How about "After Dark" then?

A clue, a joe Blake , is venomous and hisses. Noah's ark. Go down the frog and and toad to the rubbity! Etc.
Some old surfers have heads like dropped pies.
As useful as a one legged man at a bum kicking competition.
