Can anyone point me the right direction of how I can best take a paint job off a surfboard?
It's on top of the glass.
Cheers

If it's true may he rest in peace!!

I know it's not the most patriotic thing to do, and believe me I am fairly concious of spending my hard earned in Australia and on Australian products................but with the AUS$ being so bloody good at the moment I may as well take advantage of it and buy a brand new wetty from an OS website t...

"le source" so named due to the well on the headland.
It's in between Anchor's and Killer's

That's classic. I read that last night and thought exactly the same NC!!
The PR machine had that drafted and ready to go!!

This thread is killing me!!

The best I can do at the moment is a trip up the east coast of OZ!

Wife and three kids = surf adventure on the skids!!

Liam McNamarra used to ride them. I remember a surf flick in the early 90's (might have been a Gorilla Grip movie) had heaps of footage of him busting huge airs on the things??

I think we should all revel in the fact that the sport we love, is quite possibly the last on earth that you can get killed by a natural predator whilst participating in it?

If your number is up it's up. There is nothing you can do about it.

Can anyone out there tell me which Billabong suit is warmer???

The Solution Platinum or Gold?

What about Marcus Brabant..one time poster boy for Billabong?

Todd Holland is another that comes to mind?

We are moving to Hobart.
I've actually surfed around there a fair bit myself so know the potential for great waves. It's just that it's always been in Summer and the 3/2 sealed has done the trick.
It's the months leading into late Autumn, Winter and early Spring that I'm not sure about.

Hey, lets remember I'm moving there I'm not from there!!

Shit, this isn't going well!!

Orright, now enough with the two head jokes etc etc!! I need some serious thought into what freeken suit to buy so as to still pursue my obsession!! I'm thinking about one of the H Bombs, but for $1500 there's a lot to think about!! My current 3/2 is on it's last legs, and to surf longer than 4-5 mo...

Curren for sure!!

I also reckon Pottz oozed a bit of style back in the day!!
I agree about slats, there is something missing in the style department.
I think Parko and AI are the stylemasters now a days.

Just for the record, I am now loving the FF. It has taken a few more surf's than I had expected, but it was definately worth the frustration. It's hard to explain the differences to a PU board, it would be interesting to get back on the old one as I think that's when I'd really notice the subtle (or...

I don't agree at all, different fins are not marketing hype!! They can make a massive difference to how the board performs. For Example, I recall CJ Hobgood saying at J'Bay this year that he resorted to riding his short board but put bigger fins in it to handle the size. If you read in some other po...

What fins are you running in your FF's??

I've tried the M5's it came with along with some PC3's. Im about to have a crack at using my Soar's that I had in my last board. I'm thinking i might get a slightly more familiar feel to my PU but with more flex?

Any ideas?

Grazza, I've found the same thing. The board's dimensions are 603 x 18.25x2.25, but it feels a lot thicker!! I actually had a really good sesh on it yesterday so I really think it's a case of getting used to the different flex patterns. The acceleration off my bottom turn was surprising and the ensu...
