Out of the barrel and into a competition

Imagine getting a really nice pit, like the one below, popping out, doing a cuttie, and following it up with an entry into my competition...

Well, you don't need to imagine!

My competition goes a little like this:

Submit your entry by completing this sentence: 'You really know you're a surfer when...'

The rules:
- I'm after a completed sentence and not a paragraph or paperback draft
- Maximum three entries per person (I'm going to use an honesty system here)
- All entries must be submitted by email to: l.gorajek@gmail.com
- I have permission to publish all entries in 'Cuttie in you face' (only the first name of the entrant will be published alongside)
- Entries are due by midday on Tuesday 1 January 2013, Melbourne, Australia time
- To be eligible, all entries must contain the name and complete postage details of the entrant (just in case you win the prize)
- I will judge the best entry and my decision will be final.

The winner will receive the modest prize of three blocks of cold water wax, and a nifty wax comb with built in FCS key and bottle opener. I will announce the winner, and mail out the prize, by no later than the second week of February.

The humble prize of gear that every surfer needs.

To get the ball rolling, I'm going to throw this example out there:

'You really know you're a surfer when there's always sand in your bed.'

Now you know where the bar sits - good luck!
