the best beach break in australia is the superbank... there is no argument on that one...slip said:in terms of urban australian beachs newcastle's beaches arent too bad.
i mean seriously have a fucking cry, make the most of what you have got.
alot of australians arent that close to the beach, i mean its only a 35minute drive for you at the most.

actually hawaii may look like its a beach, but the waves break on lava... hence reefslip said:i mean seriously what does she want. its usually pretty hard to find 5 surf patrolled beaches within 2minutes of each other, with plenty of space left for board riders and anyone who wants it. aswell as enough space for two nudist beachs. There is merewether point which is one of the best breaks around this area. there is enough waves for poeple of all skill level in newcaslte. and if yuo like crowded beachs go in summer it just as crowded as the gold coast
go have a cry, our beaches arent the best but they are definately better then alot, you would ahve a cry about the quality of beaches if you live in Hawaii
yeah i think you're right. a lot of my guy friends who bodyboard/surf are into punk music (me included ) such as The Used, AFI, New found glory etc but there are also some who love jack johnson, Xavier Rudd, that donovan frankensomethingdude and yeah quite a few of them play some kinda instrument, guitar, bass, drumsAtticusFinch said:and that guitar comment? haha good one... you will find that ALOT of bodyboarders love hardcore punk music (its in so many videos)
by hardcore i meant bands like i killed the prom queen, underoath, irrelevant and refusedcallisto said:yeah i think you're right. a lot of my guy friends who bodyboard/surf are into punk music (me included ) such as The Used, AFI, New found glory etc but there are also some who love jack johnson, Xavier Rudd, that donovan frankensomethingdude and yeah quite a few of them play some kinda instrument, guitar, bass, drums
I surf a bit, only been doing it for 6 months but its hella fun
i think it has ALOT to do with what sort of music is in the vids they watch... ive noticed lid vids have predominantly hardcore soundtracks where as stick vids have alot of cruise and easy listeningslip said:i think that you will find most surfers/body boarders like either punk, hardcore or that cruise jack johnson type music
but i dont believe this is anything to do wth surfing in particular. just that the only other forms of popular music are hip hop and rap which are both predominatly black wanna be black and and not that many surfers are black the final sort of popular music would be dance trance electronic stuff and that has alot to do with clubs in big cities.. and people in big cities dont get to the beach as much as ppl who live on the coast
what goes on the vids is what sounds good and what the producer likes...slip said:whats in the vids is decided by whats in the surfing culture, whichs comes back to wat i said, its a bit of a circle really.
i mean there not going to put hip hop to surfing cause most surfers dont like hip hop in the smae kinda way that you wouldnt have the wiggles headline bdo cause they dont appeal to that market (wiggles have played big day out on the lillypad stage i believe thou... as a bit of a joke)
dude if you knew anything about me you would know that im trying to sell a product as well... hence atticusfinchproductions and the black sheepslip said:and you put your styles of music on because its what you like, where as a producer is trying to sell a video.
you and the producer of big vids put on similar music because its in the surfing/body boarding culture. he uses it cause it suits the culture and will sell the vid, you use it cause your influenced by culture and hence like it and want it on your vids (part of the reason you buy vids-cause you like the music)
AtticusFinch said:dude if you knew anything about me you would know that im trying to sell a product as well... hence atticusfinchproductions and the black sheep
and your argument goes out the window when you look at the contrast of music between a vid like vague opportunities (predominantly hardcore) and then tension 7 (icehouse rock and hip hop)
all about making money?slip said:hate to break it to you but i dont care enough to know anything about you. if you were some huge producer i doubt you would be on here, i would guess you produce movies primarily for your love of it not for selling them. when it gets into big bucks which you surely arent in choice in music becomes more and more important to making extra money.
and my arguement doesnt go out the window with that. because there will always be surfers and consumers of surf videos that like hip hop and rap. therefore while surf vids are predominately punk, or cruise music there will still be some that appeal more to those people who like hip hop and rap.
when you a big producer its all about making money, and you make money by appealing to a wider demographic. ie if 90% of surfers like one style of music then 90% of vids have that music, and is 10% of surfers like another sort of music 10% of vids will ahve that music...
