Many Aussies grow from Nippers and surf lifesaving is part of our culture.
yep!
Haha, too easy for an Aussie, Simon ;)
I see something,but not sure what. That water looks dangerous! I don't think I would be so brave.
The only danger in that water is being rescued by a tanned, white-toothed surfer Joy Eliz :)
What are nippers?
sharks?
Children?
jokesters?
I'd love to swim with the dolphins.
A ‘nipper’ is a literal sailors' term meaning a young person. These are NIPPERS Mary Stebbins Taitt. Surfers 16 and under are commonly termed ‘grommet’ and they grow to be 'dolphins' which are surfers seen in the distance as black dots bobbing up and down in the water :)
We have 'nippers' too!!!! :]
"The only danger in that water is being rescued by a tanned, white-toothed surfer"
Okey Dokey ... time to emigrate ;]
HAHHAHAAA, there is always the danger a female surfer might be the one to rescue you Miladysa! But then you would still be grateful for your life. Although there are more male life savers, our culture includes both sexes in the sport and rescue :)
What's with the shots from behind? Where is the hunk? If I see one I will surely try to stage an accident requiring a rescue by fine men.
I can safely say those are NOT hunks standing on the rocks Ces ... I was photographing the Nippers! Hhahhahaa
