Re: General snow stuff

I had the bindings on the wrong way :oops: Never thought to check that there is a right and left foot one. Fixed it now. I set the right (back) to -9 and the front (left) to 15. I als...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Beanpole's story actually put me in mind of Arthur Streeton's "Beach scene" of 1890. If only Beans could paint, with his keen observation skills I reckon he could do an engaging updated version.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I've recently come up with this theory that the World Surf League's main purpose is to destroy any authenticity in surfing, make it a shit simulacrum for all of us. Maybe part of a larger project too, just starting to think about it.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

We spent a couple of years in Dunedin when we were kids, think we might have gone to preschool or kindergarten in Halfway Bush. Most of the memories are vague, but I do remember coming across Tintin for the first time in Dunedin Public Library - the Red Sea Sharks. We even took that one home, a canc...
