Loading ...Donga, I learned a new Ozzie word. In the US it sounds similar of what they call man caves. Their own space. Yours might be better if it can be a bug out cave too. However I believe most your patriot Auzzies like patriot Americans would rather have the threats to that country bug out instead. That would include so called leaders that would change your country and put you through that for their personal gain. Send them back to their real caves instead of putting up in one. 🙂
Surfers never stop till they have to and even then they want to. There’s no age limit although like any sport your on top of your game in younger years before your body takes on too much abuse by the land life. Changes can come like how long you can endure the cold in some waters, fatique, balance, and how long you can hold your breath. Over time you learn your limits by pushing them in the first place and sometimes barley but can change, like taking a wave when you know there’s back to back that are going to come after that with no time to get back up before getting thrown down again and again. When your younger you’ll take more chances. Like saying to yourself just one more wave when your teeth are chattering or even beyond that. It’s dangerous.
Watching them at competitions can be fun sometimes kinda boring in the lower levels because their not free surfing and relationship with the other surfers around you who are now your competitors instead of watching out for each other. Like at one competition some Asian guy cut off a well known surfer looking at the cameras instead of his neighbor creating a dangerous situation because these were big waves in northern Cal. This guy fell off and due to what he did and the surfer he cut off went next and didn’t fall caused a division he brought on himself and that camera chaser never came back up. In northern Calif where the big waves come, up to 70 feet but really cold during that time a while back a group of on lookers got wiped out by a rouge wave that washed up on shore. Some were about to climb up on the rocks just in time while others got hit and dragged around pretty good. Good thing no young children were harmed.
