It's looking like great conditions this weekend at Trial Bay so if you're around PM me & come & try some exciting new GoFoil products that are about to be released soon....
Had my first visit to Trial Bay 2 weeks ago and had the best prone waves I've ever ridden (prone foil kook)
it is such a great wave to learn on and I'm tempted to do the 5 hour drive from Sydney
Trial Bay is looking good so will be there Tuesday & Wednesday if anyone is around to enjoy this amazing foil wave :)
Hey guys. Us locals here at Trial Bay don't mind sharing waves. However there seems to be a lot of agro coming from the foil board crew's. They have arrived in numbers and seem to bring the bad attitude from there local breakup and down the coast. We don't have it here and don't want it here. Please respect our bit of paradise and you will receive respect from us.

Interesting comments Dave as that is such a shame considering every foiler I know foils to get away from the Agro. You should out the foilers as most of us are known to each other and after 6 years of prone I am yet to see one agro foiler.
Firstly, I enjoy watching the foil board crew. Looks an exciting sport but not for me. However. Sorry. You don't know every foiler. It was very evident on Sunday/ Monday in the water. Yes there is crew of local foilers and they show the local respect that we all enjoy. Unfortunately I'm hate to say it's not only in the water but locals are being abused in the car park areas. All they are doing is parking in there regular spots. I was also made aware of 2 separate incidents over the last 2 days by women coping crap comments from foilers just walking along the beach. These women are 60 plus year olds. The foil board crew are easily identified and as such I suggest you all get put under the one umbrella.
As one of our former residents that's surfing with Hughy up in heaven told me when I first moved here , " it doesn't matter what surf craft you ride just get out there , have fun and share the waves and respect everyone ".

Sorry I didn't mean I know every foiler but it is a very small world still. Just out them mate. Take a picture of a car or face and someone will make the link.
Hi Dave2468, I've been going up there foiling for a couple of years now & the number of foilers there this week was nuts but I didn't see any aggro at all... I hate to say it but "a dickhead is a dickhead" no matter what he is riding...it is an amazing wave for foiling but as a surfer first & foremost it's not a great surfing wave unless behind the wall is pumping....there's so much room out there and the foilers tend to go wide & stay out of the surfers way but as usual there is always the minority that soil it for everyone else...happy surfing

So, somebody took your usual parking spot at the beach and then tried to flirt with your granny and her friend?
