Have any surf adventurers been here?

I was having a browse on Google maps. Has this spot / land been surfed? Can anyone work out whether it would be any good? Would certainly require a hefty steamer ;) "French Southern & Antarctic Lands" Excuse the lengthy link: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en-GB&geocode=&q=french+southern+lan...

Frenchman Flores had another strong result. For a European he is faring very well. Fanning is up there, a title holder should always be in a good defending position. As for Slats. Wow - the guy is a freak of nature!!! Very interesting about his board chop with the surplus going to the width (am I co...

Modern day surf mag's. One word: W*nkers!!! Regardless of print and online. If something is quality people will buy it. I bought a fantastic book all about surfboards the other week. Cost me $90! - however I am pleased and cannot put the thing down. It is a 'coffee table' book and I guarantee that a...

These boards are very versatile mind! I got some good runs down at the snow on mine. Somebody commented that I rode my toboggen very well. I corrected them. It's a tray!! :roll:

On the Mambo Front: I thought Mambo did sponsor a few guys in the past? Didn't they do some events too? Surf culture / fashion is mainstream in Australia if you compare it to say Europe. I think a surfer in the UK will be part of a far more apparent sub culture in his / her country than a surfer and...

This is the thing. If a company like Nike who will really focus on technology and research etc - they might make clothes that are more durable, comfortable etc? Although - the big surf brands do this anyway... On a seperate note: Nike have an action sports division in the USA 'Nike 6.0' which has s...

Flores a serious challenger for the WCT crown?

French surfer Jeremy Flores finished up 8th in 2007 on the world tour. Check out the prediction that Strider Wasilewski from Quiksilver made about Flores back in 2005: Snippet: "I feel like he could be the first European to get on tour, stay on tour, and be a threat for the world title." Whole artic...

Surf sheep - they are the same people who stop at roundabouts when driving; when nothing is coming. :x The same people who go shopping when everyone else does. :?

Immediate post WW2 Japanese-made goods were cheap and inferior. Then the Japanese economy developed to the stage where for example in the 1990's a Honda NSX cost $245k. And that from a firm that started off as a pissy little motorbike manufacturer. No doubt Chinese-made goods will go the same way a...
