I thought he ended up on the rocks at high tide and a rising swell and couldn't get back up.

Well I'm looking forward to see 8-10 foot Bells and seeing who wants it and who doesnt.

Super fun in the water this morning. 3 foot, glassy and so many good sand banks.

Do the Gilmore Girls make false accusations of chest zip wetties?

When mrs duck wanted me to teach the ducklings to surf I was diligent about it for a while and they feined interest in it for a bit. It usually led to me jumping on a coolite or longboard after their feined interest and surfing while they played in the shorey. On another note, shrug just left the b...

Yeah I had a need suit a few years back. Didn’t like the fit. Definitely good value though.

I must have a weird body. Some suits fit me really well, others not so good.

I'm going back to Xcel for a steamer shortly.

My current Quikkie one is at the end of it's life with tears and it was the worst wettie I have had in years. Have a Xcel 1 mm top and a 2mm springie which are both great quality and warm.

Qld government funding?

Steve, where is the border? I thought it was the Tweed River?

I couldn't get over how much faster Italo looked than just about everyone else

You know what I am actually enjoying it, I guess it is light entertainment for me right now It was fascinating watching Kelly's second round heat, I thought wow! he is really out of touch with the criteria right now! He's forgotten how to surf a heat. epic. Nick, do you think Kelly might be doing t...

They haven't addressed the core issues with the format.

Too many surfers.
Meaningless round 1 heat (yet to see how this impacts the previously meaningless round 5 heat)
Competition too long
No incentive to go nuts on a wave and too much safety surfing.

The same as it ever was.

So many good banks and peaky goodness

I reckon I'm bigger, heavier and older than you (and probably not as good a surfer).

Also worked out quite sometime ago that I surf what works for me, and not what is popular, cool or works for others.

Nice. What dims? Can’t read them in the photo.

So it's 6'8" by 20 3/4 by 2 5/8. Designed for the bigger days where I want to get in slightly earlier and get moving fast.

Have been friends with him for 20+ years, great craftsman, great family. Would rather spend my money with him than a shaper with a mass produced model, could have got one over here but trust Ross enough to let him go for it.

Nice Steve.

Not entirely sure gave the shaper some guidelines and said go for it.
