Like some others here, I seemed to track this place down looking for some surf guitar riffs to play. I'll see how it goes, if you blokes have something to teach, I'm a good listener. So, Hi! Top

No, up on the Central Coast, just about an hour north of Sydney. I used to live in Mona Vale though, did my apprenticeship from there many years ago, where abouts did your travels take you? Top

Also Carol, did you get to surf Crescent Head, Byron or Angourie in your travels? thanks for the additional welcomes Ironmaiden, Bob & Vincent. Top

Spud Joined: Jul 23, 2007 Posts: 666 Oz	Posted on Aug 03 2007 07:03 PM Yeah? that's where my nick name comes from, shortened version of spudnik which in turn had something to do with a russian space craft, because I was always spaced out or something. (twisted minds come up with nick names) Top

Also Carol, did you get to surf Crescent Head, Byron or Angourie in your travels?t. yeah, we got really fun surf at crescent head, didn't surf byron bay but stayed at brunswick head for a few days and surfed at the jetty. my husband battled the crowd at angourie one day but i didn't. the surf was really good and the crowd huge and aggressive. .......... to answer your other question, we used to take surf trips every winter somewhere until our son was born, then my hubbie continued to take trips but i was into the mom thing and also got into snowboarding for my winter trip. now that our son is older i've gotten back into taking surf trips but with friends as one of us has to stay with our business, so we take separate surf trips. — www.surfintheeye.com Top
