Reefs off the pool - Hey guys i surf billy and dive it fair often jus wanted to let any of u that care know that out round summa the reefs of the pool there have been some really heavy duty shipping ropes caught up round the reed heads. Thought give ya the heads up keep an eye on ur m8s if u get tangled in em ull be in trouble we pulled 10m out the few weeks ago wile skindiving could barley cut it with big knives jus keep an eye on em no doubt they will slowly wash out or make their way onta the beach

Leave the point to the pro - My name is Jansac and i have been chargin bowles all my life. Every wave i get starts with a sucky barrel that fattens out and then throws out a sick ars bowl. I am a comp bodyboarder and a hell shredder so just fuck off and leave bowles to the pros....like me!!!
