Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yesterday I was at shida shita. I know that the taito - shida shita stretch gets mocked by everyone, but throught june and this first week of july, it has had the best shape of all the spots from katagai south every time except for once. It's really odd because last year it was just slop around there, whereas now it's shapely (if small). Link to post Share on other sites

I could navigate the place (Peak/pipe) with my eyes closed! Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hey King, I was at Shida shita, too. from 11ish to 1pm with Rob and two other girls. It was getting too windy in the afternoon and we decided to go home for lunch. I think I'm going to have a lesson next time from CHP nori san. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Why is this guy wearing a steamer at Pipeline? Because it ain't pipe. It's the South coast NSW last week. This kid only got his first pubes a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Hello there, I saw a girl with Rob but I don't think it was you, must have been one of the others. I was the only guy in the water in shorts and a rash guard, everyone kept on asking me if I was cold but it was lovely and warm! I go down there quite a lot with Tsondaboy so we should say hello next time! Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah PP. That reef is fairly gentle, though the right shallower and sharper than the left. On BIG days the inside gets pretty dry (as I found out) but pipe is were I paid my dues! I'd give my left nut to be over there now.. Link to post Share on other sites
