I've never heard of Margaret River before. I watched some Youtube videos on that spot. Those are some very nice waves. I was watching some Australian competition while eating at Big City Diner. The sound was turned off and I wasn't able to find out where it was taking place. The waves weren't that big and the surfers were doing tricks. It was a little goofy.
My guess is that the greatest big wave spot on the planet hasn't been discovered yet. Maybe it'll never be discovered or maybe the warming earth will change the ones we have. My guess is that the surfers will be riding bigger waves than we can ever imagine in a hundred years from now. They'll be towed/flown to the waves using robot drones.

There's been a couple of sharky incidents in the last few days.

Dsi1! When you marinate your beef with cornstarch ... is it dry or or
mixed in liquid??

Apols to those who I had to delete, but I didn't see his original post.

And just think of all the coastline that doesn't even speak english - yet have video cameras. Sharks have a year round fest. I guess they always have.

Its a watery solution: Add a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, a splash of water, cornstarch, baking soda, white pepper, and garlic powder to a bowl and allow the meat to sit and let it marinate

Much more famous for its wines. It's a beautiful area and I hope to
visit again next year.

Snakes are the hardest to get used to if you live in the countryside.
They're everywhere.

The Danes stopped it altogether. The Dutch only use it for over 60s
(because their corona risk outweighs the vaccine risk). There are more
countries. I don't know about the US.

It's a very small risk. One in so many hundred thousand, depending on
age. The risk of dying from covid is much bigger.

Typically, I'll add some soy sauce and a little cornstarch and some salt and pepper. You can add other things such as ginger, garlic, oil, oyster sauce, even an egg, and baking soda. I don't feel the need to add that most times. I'll let the beef marinade for about 5 minutes. If fried at high temperature in oil until barely done, you should get a flavorful and tender beef.

That place reminds me of Half Moon Bay California. It's a little town that's known for its annual Arts and Pumpkin Festival. It's also the location of a big wave spot that rivals anything on the North Shore of Oahu. It's a dangerous spot and I'm not talking about sharks.

Yes. With global warming, surf spots will change. The Margaret River
spot isn't that good, imo. Get in a few moves then the wave closes out.
Very large waves in last night's contest. Larger than I would surf in.

Anyway some people do extreme large wave surfing now. They are towed
into the wave by jet ski to catch them early.

None of that for me ever. My favorite waves are about 3-6 foot faces,
not 20-30 foot faces. Fun to ride but not dangerous.

You may not have been talking about sharks, but were they talking about you?

Fancy. I always thought that sharks werent interested in humans (especially below the surface) unless ... someone has even the slightest open bleeding wound. Then? I suspect that all bets are off. Big time !!

The moral of the story is ... who is stupid enought to have a wound and go into the water?

A lot depends on what foods are available in the area when you're hungry. Sometimes you just have to eat at McDonald's. If you're a Great White and in Scotland you might actually dine on a guy named McDonald.

I sure hope you're right about that. The locals call really white people frolicking in the ocean, "shark bait." The old Hawaiians considered sharks to be their family's personal god/spirit i.e., "Aumakua.

Currently, my guess would be the Bay of Fundy on a big wave day, but I´m
not a surfer.

If you mean that they're not all venomous, you're right. We have green
tree snakes and pythons, which are fine. Then we have whip snakes and
crown snakes, which are mildly venomous. Then we have small-eyed
snakes, which are very venomous but not often nasty. And then we have
brown snakes, which are very venomous and can be bad tempered.

The other 15 types I haven't seen on our property yet, which doesn't
mean anything.

And you didn´t ever think you´d become a herpetologist. Good on ya, Mate!
The only dangerous snakes I ever encountered were Great Basin rattlesnakes.
They rattle when threatened which is a good thing.

Yes, they're good sports for warning you.

The Bay of Fundy sounds like water park - such a happy name!
Mavericks was discovered by Jeff Clark in the mid-seventies. He had found a big wave spot that rivals the winter swells of Hawaii's North shore from his back yard in Half Moon Bay CA. Nobody believed that such a thing was possible so he surfed the spot for over a decade alone or with a few friends. These days, people know about Mavericks alright.

Well, there is the tidal bore in Moncton. Take a look at the video near
the midlle of the page. I'm not sure how that would work for surfing.

I´ve been to Half Moon Bay. I didn´t know about Mavericks until Tim Cook
named a full version of the Apple OS after it. Half Moon Bay is also famous
for pumpkins. I didn´t have to look that up.
By the way, what do Hawaiians know about surfing, anyway?<winkey>

I was only there once, about 30 years ago. We spent some time camping at
the national park there. When the tide is out you cannot see water.
When the tide is in the water level is about 45 feet higher. You can
watch the water level changing almost like filling or emptying a tub. It
is amazing.

I've collected rock samples along the southern shoreline. You have to
know the tide tables backwards.

It is an amazing thing to watch at then north end. You can be down on
the edge and not see water and you can walk around and explore the
natural caves. Then you have to get out and get to higher ground
because the caves will be underwater. On the open ocean it is only about
two feet but in the Bay of Fundy is is as much as 52 feet.

I've been to Half Moon Bay too. I thought the pumpkin festival was a hoot. That's just so cornball. I've never been to the festival but I suppose that seeing a pumpkin of unreasonable size would be agreeable with me.

A big python can eat a cat or a small dog.
