Haha , not yet mate . Apparently there was a tsunami here in the recent past . Got to about 2 inches . The bass straight protects us from tsunamis , or so the young fellow tells me .

The earthquake was about 3.5 on the scale , the most my bed has rocked for a bit 1 st up on a sunday morning .

That is of a site about surfing history in tassie, recon it was taken in the 70s, I'll have a look for some more up your way and post them.
Holiday down here tomorrow so hoping to get to the festival then, but surf looks like it could be on as well, to many choices.

Story on the ABC based on the surfboards at the wooden boat show , about how surfing started in Tassie
Apparently yep SMH before wetsuits they surfed in woollen singlets / long johns .
Would be tough going you ever tried to swim in clothes .very hard work .

Thats true Tassie. I've got an old uncle in his 80's that was telling me that he used to dive and spear fish around Coogee in Sydney in big woollen jumpers through winter. Hard work alright. Working on boats I've been in a few times with clothes on. Once in Newcastle in the 80's I went over the side trying to put a line onto a floating dredge pontoon and went in with clothes , overalls and steel toe cap boots. It was a struggle getting to the surface.

this is a wave I have been dreaming of surfing for many many years.....one day soon I hope. The dreams started when I saw a shot of a similar angle to this one with all the boys gathered around a fire as the sets rolled in. As for wetties the old man always told me the used to go diving in woollen jumpers etc in the old days. I much prefer the wetsuit option.

I think we have all done that, spend all day driving and end up surfing back at your home break.the east coast is very fickle, but when it does turn it on you can see why we drive up there in the hope of a wave only to find it flat.

Great photos,
growing up in tassie, i remember seeing guys surfing in the old woollen footy jumpers. My first rip curl wetsuit was a 4/3 and like wearing steelwool. Instant rash and stiff as a board
