Day three of the Old Farts Surf Co Fabulous Tour of Coolangatta saw a run down the coast to Byron Bay so Bob the Bobsled could catch up with his roots. The surf was a perfect 1' and uncrowded. "We only heard rumours of the 12' shark that had chased a 15 year out of the water the day before after we got out of the surf" said the Mex. "Plus I had a surf with Mal from Mal and the Longboarders and we had a pretty good rap". While the SOOFS (Ladies of Oldfartsurfers) enjoyed the sunshine and the boys caught up with Rockhead and his entourage. The Dude then surfed his way north and found a peak of his own. "The highlight of the day in Byron was the 6' monitor lizard outside the cafe where we had lunch." said the Dude.

Day 4 of the Fabulous tour saw the Mex and the Dude head south again, this time they found a few fun waves at Cabaritta. Unfortunately the boys left their Weber Afterburners at home as their creator, Greg Webber, was in the surf and they would have loved to show Greg how a pair of olfartsurfers could handle the feisty machines.

It was a warm day at Cabaritta, so warm it drove the Goodwoman into the surf. Not for long though as the chilly water proving too much for even the bravest without a wetsuit.

All in all it was a couple of fun days of surf south of the boarder. The Mexican was in his element and assimilated pretty well, as did the Dude. The Dude, however, was becoming restless, enchanted with the distant Mt Warning and was being drawn to the hinterland by its spell. Would he sercombe to its spell and go bush instead of surfin?

Good update, a bit disappointed by the small surf. The Dude appears distracted by the good woman, and the Mex is obviously getting a late call up to the hinterland kaftan tribes. Good luck to you Mex, may your afternoons and nights of meditation do you well. Can I have your worldly possessions since you will no longer be needing them. I promise to look after Bob and Co.
cheers guys
The Mex is promising to divest himself of all his worldly possessions except those that exist in the 11th diminsion - his garage. Accumulated junk is holy. he plans a pilgrimage to the Sun(shine coast) this weekend to further enlighten his darkened soul.
