Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
But it's a beautiful day.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
I was out in the surf yesterday and I was
chatting to one of the chaps out there.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
They'd been to the new Homebush Surf Park.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Can I ask you, has this been purpose built or
have they reconfigured something else. It's been purpose built and
it's actual wave after wave, wave after wave.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
And he's telling me it was extraordinary. Paid one hundred bucks,
got an hour of surfing.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
And I guess there are rules and it'll smash into
each other.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, yeah, yeah, like there are surfing rules. When you
go out there. You know you don't want a priority.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah exactly, it'd be a big hole. You don'tant to
be dropping in on people. So those rules still apply,
which kind of works out well. And you go out
in little groups, I suppose, because you're paying you a
hundred bucks when you go into the surf as we know.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It, you don't pay anything the real surf, the real surf.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
No. But also it's hit and missus do with you
and get wave exactly. I imagine there there's just wave
after wave.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's wave after wave. He got so many waves he
didn't know what to do with them. Seventy meters. White
rides on waves like.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Great, that's massive, is it?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
He said? Has a bit of a tight take hop,
you know, when you were at the critical point.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Of the waiver as they say, it's what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
It's tight?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hard to get onto?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Okay, like jumping into a skipping rope. You've got to
pick your moment.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I did mention. I thought, I wonder because you know,
I like to I'm on the sup in the surf.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You're not going to take a stand up paddle, boy,
I just like to give it.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
They're much maligned.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Come on, what do you watch or be seriously, stand
up paddle if you're in Hawaii and it's flat.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
And you're going do you've.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Got to drink in your hand? The idea of you
taking it to a surf park. For some reason, I
see the you know, the the evolution of man, and
you see the ape becoming the man, and then I
see the sup and you look like a punts. I
don't know. We've evolved, and then you've evolved too far.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I'll say this. I used to serve many years ago,
and then I just stopped it, you know, because it
got too competitive. When I was a kid, you'd serve
out a cradle point. You'd honestly get punched in the
head just for looking at.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Someone standing up on a board. Doesn't make it the best.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Days It's become. You know, it's more inclusive surfing. You know,
women like when I the year, girls didn't serve. You know,
people like Laying Beachley were pine.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I've seen puberty blues, and well, why don't I go
to the surf park there? You can go in an
old lady Lilah with a hole in it where I
put my drink. Guys, don't splash me. Don't splash me.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
When I was in a way many years ago, I
think it was twenty eleven, and I saw people on
stand up paddle boards, I said, that looks dumb, and
I thought, I'll give it a go, and I hated it.
I hated it so much and then just what I
was about to hand it over to the guy I'd
called away and it changed. It changed everything. And I've
been doing it ever since. And I don't get in
people's way or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
But I would ever feel embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
There is a you know, there's.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Amongst the surfers, hi guys of Revolve.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I don't all the guys that I know, so the
people I know, so I'll take care.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
But there's you know, there's guys to trouble.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
But there's one guy I know that he had a
major hip surgery and he has to do it because
he can't pop up on the board anymore.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
He has to be so that saved him. That saved
he was he couldn't surf for him.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
No, that's fair enough.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So he gets but he's always an apologetic when he goes. Oh,
when I get back to being on the my pro
and surfboard, I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
But I had to go on.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I had to go back just you know, paddling my
shoulder and everything, and I just like this up because
of that.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Why am I defending this to you?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I didn't ask you to.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
You know, I keep out of people's way. But it
would be great to go to the surf park.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Can I go that day and just watch? I might
learn some new swears.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Maybe you could bring your lilah.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, don't splash me.
