wasted dude

when we were kids we used to surf the stationary waves that formed when the river broke, got washed a few hundred metres out to sea swim in then go again. the best part was the sand bar that was left would create an awesome peak when the swell was up.

a few 2am missions with the shovel before a good swell often happened 

once saved two young kids 7-9 that were playing on the edge and it collapsed both went in, lucky i had my bodyboard under my arm was a scary few minutes chasing them out to sea. 

now that ive seen the state of the river further up stream i wish it wouldnt break so often   was once the mighty moore river

 Am I the only one facepalming here. What's with the parents letting their little kids play around what is obviously an unstable edge. Major cave in, kid gone

i was thinking the exact same thing watching those little kids

sort of thing that can turn in a minute into a tragedy if your not aware & keeping a close reign on your kids

This always reminds me

When I was a young bloke, a heap of KG whiting swam into the river before the bar closed. Very good memories of a big session up near the dessert with my pop then going back to a family friend's house to eat them that afternoon.

 

The place has changed a lot for me in the past 15 years.
