Somewhere up on the cliff my uncle, Colin rose, wrote his name in paint many years ago. He’s been gone a couple of years now. If you go to the coolangatta slc, the one beneath greenmount, you’ll see my dad’s name up on the board, along with my uncle’s name. My dad died in 95, melanoma thanks to years on the beach as a teenager. I spent my early years going to tweed catholic primary school. I used to take my long deceased grandmother up to the light house above snapper rocks to have a milk shake at the milk bar that existed before latitude. I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, now. On the kitchen wall there are two postcards framed of coolangatta beach from greenmount and snapper rocks from afar, mount warning in the distance. Miss the place, and Brisbane too.
Hanging out to fade someone is not a good way to surf for me. The mental frustration is just too much sometimes. So hard to find some space between older, younger and current legends Who yaa gonna burn?
I've had it better in 1980 when a guy missed the takeoff. So , I paddled twice, and got it. The cameras went wild and I was in Tracks. TJ from SA. Probably twice as big.
Nothing like a nice quiet surf with 3000 of your best mates.

I have no idea what that title means as I live thousands of km from thr ocean.
Lots of people but it thins em out fast being drug across the bottom.😂
Maybe you'd feel more comfortable talking to Snappy the Aligator?
Nothin says east coast surf like a pandanus blocking the view aye
Glass Hole.
I'd rather just go to the mentawais
So sad
Breaker Heads would also be an apt name for that spot.
What a circus
