I mean, if a whole beachful of lifesavers can't find the poor sod then what does that say about the standards eh?

Eh?

Re: Man missing in surf at lifesaving competition
 

News is now reporting the guy is dead.

Brainless IMO to let the event go on despite the cyclone warnings.

Re: Man missing in surf at lifesaving competition
 

I wonder if the lifeguards had put out a warning for people to stay out of the water?

Re: Man missing in surf at lifesaving competition
 

Bet they had competitors sign a liability waiver:eek:

Re: Man missing in surf at lifesaving competition
 

Hold on, he's not dead yet ... http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=1029456

Maybe the comp has a winner?

Re: Man missing in surf at lifesaving competition
 

Just noticed that, news report no longer has him as dead.

You would think they would get the facts right:blink: There was even a piccy of the 'dead' competitior.

Hey, that's the price of rolling news ... a few pissed-off relatives is nothing compared to being 'first to air'. Now John with the weather ...

This has been current since yesterday - but doesn't go as far south as the Gold Coast!

SEVERE WEATHER WARNING
for Dangerous Surf For people in the Capricornia, Wide Bay and Burnett and Southeast Coast forecast districts......Dangerous surf with some beach erosion is expected to develop about exposed beaches during the day, particularly about the Sunshine and Fraser coasts, and islands off the Capricornia coast.
The State Emergency Service advises that people in the affected area should:
· if near the coastline, stay well away from the water's edge

"Was he between the flags?" is the key question ...

Deception Bay? I'll be there on Sunday.....It can be a deceiving place....

Re: Man missing in surf at lifesaving competition
 

Nope ... he's dead.

Lesson - Don't go for paddle when there is a cyclone around.

I can only assume you are going there to get someone to do an insurance job on your car. Or maybe you are one of those types of people who actually wants to be sexually assaulted?

It was called Deception Bay because sailors would navigate into the bay thinking that it was a great spot to sail into without realising that it is an incredibly shallow bay.

It's not too rough down here, nothing bad enough to stop the comp in my highly experienced opinion anyway :lol:
