Default Dolphins at Fingals Head

Very cool photo of Dolphins surfing at Fingal Heads, NSW. The photo's not my own, but I've been in the surf myself when a pod of dolphins turned up, down at Gerroa on 7 mile beach.

Last time I went surfing in the UK (down on the Gower with my brother, who lives there), I swam with an entirely different lifeform.

Oooh, Jeeeeeez....The Gower! Llangenith to be precise....

I've surfed there a few times and it has to be, without doubt, the most obviously polluted water EVER!!..

The sand-dune sized foam was one of the biggest give-aways. That and the overpowering smell of caustic chemicals (probably from "up the road" at Port Talbot)....

Look on the bright side though....Surf there enough and you will probably grow a third arm and get through the lineup quicker...

lol - It's pretty mad, isn't it. I wouldn't let my four year old son in the water and my brother got all defensive about the water quality. Still - did you hear about this?
