The Old Local Blues

In surfing there's not too many things that twist your guts like watching your old local spot going off without you. Yeah, life rolls on - c'est la vie - but some things I wish would never change. Like sitting out the back at Cronulla Point during a clean south swell, for instance.

During the last swell in Sydney the point pumped and the proof is now in front of your eyes. If I were a more charitable person I'd be happy that the crew were getting good waves, but bugger that, jealousy is my driving emotion and I'm pissed off I couldn't be out there.
