Got a pretty good job opportunity coming up in the melbourne cbd, currently live in quiet old adelaide. im considering going for the move, but factors such as friends and family are holding me back. anyway does anyone here live in melbourne and surf? im used to racking up the ks surfing only on week...

As much as I want body boarding to grow for the sake of the companies and individuals which have invested so much into the sport and also raising the public opinion of body boarding, there's still a big part of me that wants body boarding to remain for those only who truly love the sport. That said ...

56 seconds in the Mexico section looks insanely perfect.

I like both pretty much equally and I don't buy into that 'riptide's for kids' stuff, as far as I'm concerned they are both aimed at a broad age group.

I personally prefer Riptide, Movement to me just seems like it's trying to hard to be the more mature/arty mag. But that's probably just me.

Bloody journos! Trying to point out I was fooled!



Oh well thats my most recent claim to fame

That's insane, that blokes definitely got a story to tell!

Shots like that almost make me feel slightly less scared by sharks, as it reminds me that not every shark is necessarily going to gun it for you if it sees you.

Any watercraft design is certainly a complex undertaking and I doubt any of us could simply prove why that particular design is any faster than normal rails without doing some form of flow simulation. Yeah maxx, you're right, drag is related to the surface area facing the direction of the flow. But ...

There new season hasn't quite matched up to season 1. But yeah this was funny, he raises a valid point.

Living in south oz I can't count the amount of times i've rocked up to a secluded reef break breaking perfectly during those calm overcast days only to see no one out and a long paddle ahead of me. There has been many instances I've turned down surfing a break due to the fact that it looks just too ...

My bro is thinking of picking up a new board soon and I've been trying to help him source something decent. He's not really willing to go all out as he doesn't surf that much, so I'm pushing him towards getting a HB Virtue 07 Icon. The reasons being is it's on sale for $295 and it seems like a sick ...

yeah I never thought of doing that, but I always really thought that the reason i can do forward spins is because you're using the flow of the water to help you round on a forward. I'll give it a shot.

Red deck, black rails no pinstripe and a graphic bottom.

Well i sort of did a reverse 180 yesterday, so I'm starting to get some sort of an idea how to do them.

Yeah rolls were the first move I learnt, and believe me, inverts aren't that difficult to do at Knights.

Nice, exactly the sort if advice i was after. Now all I've gotta do is wait for the weekend!

Seriously, how the fuck do you do them! I've been bodyboarding for a fair while now and the only moves i can pull are rolls, forward spins and inverts. But reverse spins seem to stump me, which is really frustrating me as they look good and look fun. So anyone feel like sharing some hints on how the...
