Now workers comp suing the father for breach of duty of care in the workplace. If workers comp successful, builder broke, loses business, loses family home to pay...

That thread was one of the best things I have read, previously I thought the internet was only good for stalking and Porn.

Not talking about his daughter, talking about the name he gave her. I doubt it is true.

Re: Seal in the surf at North Avalon last night

If that's what you want, I edited my post to remove her name. I'm sure Trev will edit his quotation of my (now non-existent) post. Nah-no worries, unfortunately the typed word does little to communicate what's behind the words compared to a face to face chat -Point Break will, deservedly, fade into...

Re: Hottest surf girl ever??

I surfed Waikokos in Kauai last New Years Eve, perfect four foot, and for short time only me and this young lady out, in a similar bikini to the pictures of her above. Friendly girl and an awesome surfer.

Best surf of my life.

Re: Recommended ding repairer for EPS/epoxy/FCS on N Beaches?

Chaos in Harboard Road Brookvale did a good job of my mates Webber epoxy. Good price too, but like all shapers/repairers, not always a quick turnaround.

Re: Hawaiian Airlines - Boards?

Travelled to Hawaii with Hawaiian at Christmas from Sydney. I took two shortboards in one coffin bag and did not get charged. The boards count as one piece of luggage each, even in the same bag. I think that you can take one board per person without being charged (one board was my girlfriends), but ...

Re: The KS Deep Six- bullshit board or bullshit marketing??

It will be interesting to see what he paddles out for at the Eddie if it is on. Might have had a rethink for big waves as well.

Mate if the waves require a 7'6", I'll be on the beach faking injury.

Biggest board I will take is a 6'8". If the waves get over 8' (Australian) I'll be out of my leauge, so no need for anything bigger

I know my limitations.

Taking boards on Hawaiian Airlines

I've just booked a flight for Hawaii at Christmas, flying Hawaiian Airlines. I'm going to do Oahu and Kauai for two weeks.

Does anyone know what the deal is with checking in boards. I have a 6 10 coffin, will I have to pay extra for this?

Thanks,

Thomo
