i red thumbed your first post wh.then a green for the second one. im with you now mate
for all you comp haters out there Dogman justed sumed it up right there all good...and if someone wins a title more the reason to talk s!!t and drink more beer..yewwwwwwwww
QLD , NSW & VIC should definetly be allowed more than 4 as there are guys who missed out or could'nt make it could also be podium surfers. jacko , woogie , billy , tully , jamie mitchell , peasey & kieren just a few of the Qlder's that are'nt in it.

I heard a fair few crew couldn't make it. But that's just like any other comp. There's finally a whole bunch of new crew coming into sup who I hope do well as sup to me seems a bit controlled by the older guys ( no offence if your older) or the seabeeeze gang haha.. This years sup titles still have some of the best guys going. The qld guys who made their state finals r still the most consistent comp surfers of 2010/2011. The qld top four finalists no doubt one of them wil b in the final. As for NSW team well there just as good as either of them can win. Either way the aus titles should b regarded as a premier event cause I don't see much industry supporting the sport. The guy who filled my spot I hope does well n if u win u owe me a beer.
You have to be in it to win it and I agree consistency is the key , surfing well in all conditions , no doubt this will be the best Aus Titles we've had and it looks like Huey is playing the game as well...still tipping 2 Qlder's in the top 3
first time i've done this 'quote' thing so hope it works. just got late call up yewwwww
Good stuff Sharpie, at least now I won't be the oldest guy in the comp.
How's the latest forecast! 3-4 meters and howling onshores....should be interesting
yea very funny goatygotta go now, need to pick up my new walking frame!!!!
I'm hoping they have it wrong and there is more south in the wind. Yeah the points further north including Crescent would offer a bit more protection I suppose. Mission to get to though.
let me get this right, it's implied if you don't surf comps, you don't like beer!!!!!!!!
tuff crew you lot
hope a middle runner has a blinder and wins
