It seems that the oldfartsurfers are striking out on surf tours all over the globe. Not only did Mex and the Dude hit the wild west coast, but simultaniously, oldfartsurfer Rouge (OFSC No. 45) hit the soulful south coast. So soulful in fact that he wasn't content with just a weekend but got right into the local oldfartsurfing culture and decided to stay for a fortnight.
(south coast soul, you could stay for a fortnight)
"Just back from two weeks on the soulful south coast" writes Rouge, "so many surf spots its easy to find an uncrowded wave". "I had two surfs a day for two weeks, fittest I have been in years, hope I can preserve some for Easter" he says. Easter! That's right, another tour of the secret island to the south. "We've been trying to keep it a secret" said OFSC Head Honcho, Mex, "but the word is starting to leak out." The surf is predicted to be epic and the beer will be fresh on tap. When the Dude heard the news, all he could say was "its still Christmas long service leave, go back and do some more research".

Apparently Rouge has started a an old fart movement on the south coast as according to a secret source there are "lots of classic style surfers, with several guys riding single fin 9' boards, half a dozen SUPs and a couple of kneelos". The Mexican welcomed the news as " wonderful, I hope they're all still stoked".Click here for a previous related story.

Mex - you're too kind! When Old Fart surfers of the world find out about your journalistic bent, they will inundate you with their knee creaking, bent back, sore arm stories of tubes found/missed, of walls ripped/torn, of swells caught/missed... And expect immediate publication! I for one enjoy the current priority but can't see it lasting once word gets out.
cheers
Once the oldfartsurfers of the world find out kindness will go out the door to be replaced by greed and cash for comments. Enjoy it while you can!
