When im not away getting good waves, im wondering why i aren't away getting good waves..no one even knows what tides/conditions it breaks properly on except a few...and thats when the bank is even there...

...... - mogwli hasnt surfed bethells for probably 10 years, and last time I saw him was at the point on a 3ft summers day on a 10ft brown mal wearing speedo's and going over the falls and generally being a public nuisance and endangering everyone trying to have a good fun surf...I put $1000 on him running a 'P' lab somewhere in south Auckland or the far north.....who's in?
