Who is Tommy?
Who is Tommy's mate?

Stuck Hard



A strange sculpture in the Jinshan carpark.

Was it erected by aliens? Is it wood? If stone, does it cut diamonds? Does the large ball in the foreground represent the crown jewels?

Comments.....?

Surfing the Derwent in Tassie

Believe it or not, these boys are surfing in a river. A massive southerly swell hit Tassie this morning providing rare fun for just a few surfers.

Screaming white caps

Carl, Steve and Sean report a screaming S Easter obliterating any remaining swell at the activity centre this afternoon and generating little white caps out to sea. Looks like we might have enjoyed our last little flush of swell for a while as temps finally begin to climb. Might have to dust off those big planks.....

Very small. OK at first, no wind, very pleasant. Got a few shooters through to the rocks down the far end but after an hour or so the onshore arched up. Got changed to go back in the usual driving rain, howling wind: I love surfing in Taiwan!

Ross waits on a rideable one...
