"Experts in awe" etc.
When you live and surf on Australia’s north-east coast, a thirty-foot shadow appearing underfoot is usually the moment you draw your Biteback stainless steel spike out of your wetsuit and start stabbing hell out of the beast.
If that don’t work, you grab a SWAT tourniquet to staunch the wound.
Death by Great Whites ain’t just an abstract possibility around Byron, Lennox, Ballina and surrounds; these days it’s bandit odds.
At Lennox Head yesterday, surfers were, ultimately, thrilled when two giant shadows chasing bait balls turned out to be Minke whales, the highlight a surfer who refuses to yield priority to an animal that is a favourite delicacy in Korea and Iceland (If you’re in Reykjavik, enjoy Minke here.)

ripping Chas, “tempest in an Instagram pot” just brilliant
Shouldn’t Ian Cairns just shut the fuck up and go teach another kid how to become a complete fuckwit like London, getting him banned from surfing at his local? And isn’t Ian just a wanna be seppo anyway?
Hope this helps

Who has the right of way in an inner species surf session? The human tried to paddle up the face when it was obvious the whale was going on that wave. Whale paddle off telling his whale friend “You see that! Human surfer just snowballed me” Whale friend “What board was he riding. I’ll paddle that Fuk’ah up the beach!”
Bait lives matter.
More racist mammals
The beauty of those magnificent creatures was rudely upstaged by that glorious musical composition in the video. Such taste!
yeah it was more exploding dead carcass on the beach music
Made me want my ears to explode
Really beautiful stuff, but when do we get the official Beach Grit presidential endorsement?
