Yanks,

No previous injuries - I was 23.

Just further to Ringy's post, I have been told I will need a replacement knee at about 60, have a bit of arthritis. Surgeon pointed out a sample on his desk and said we will both be getting one like it and he would see me about it then. I left thinking that I would get the surgeon who did his to do ...

I do not have an ACL in my left knee. Damaged it some 25 years ago before the advent of keyhole surgery. Keep it together with a lot of strength work in quads & hammy. Metal brace for skiing. Lots of fish oil and the other daily supp I cannot remember the name of. Today i would get the surgery but m...

Thank you all.

Picking up cotton pants and long sleeve shirts this weekend and stocking up on Rid/Aeroguard.

Getting to travel doc on Friday but wanted views of people who have used the stuff.

Hatchy

Thanks for the info

I had heard that about one med, now I know it is Larium. Glad you confirmed.

I am a lilttle touchy about this. My brother got Malaria working in PNG about 30 years ago and he suffered for many years.

I am more inclined to be safe on this one.

Am going to a malaria area in a few weeks.

Any recommendations/experiences for tabs.

Have been recommended Malarone - any experiences ?

Thanks

PS I recall there was a post on this some time ago but I cannot find it with the search function.

Has to be BS. I remember reading an interview with Drouyn some 30 years ago and him saying all be wanted was a gorgeous blonde, big knockers, green eyes and long legs. It has been my 'holy grail' since. Have scored 3 of the 4 but not all 4 together. It would be like being told Pamela Anderson's brea...

I seem to remember a thread about surf muffs (love that name) for ears a while ago.

Anyone persuaded and try them ?

Besides looking like a dork, do they work ?

You might look at a workout Paul Frediani put together www.surfflex.com under surfers workout using a swiss ball and bungee. Many good articles are referenced as well I purchased his book from Amazon. Delivered in about 8 days. Worth having. You might look at interval running as well eg jog 200m spr...

At the risk of sonding like a spinner for his boards, you might look at the Miller Powerglide.

It seeems most owners of Millers are very impressed with the boards.

Check the threads here.

Clif,

Did you get anywhere ?

I have also noticed rave reviews for Matuse in US.

I have emailed West asking about the neoprene. No reply.

Tried calling a retailer of West who were less than helpful.

Anyone have experience of a West retailer in Sydney who have a good range and some knowledge ?

Have a chat to Grant Miller of Waterskate fame. Good bloke who I am sure will steer you in right direction. Mentioned in several threads here. McCoy nugget would also be OK. You can email Geoff McCoy for advice/ recommendations. Agree buying board for what weight you are now rather than what you hop...

There are good sports physios and doctors at the Narrabeen Fitness centre.

If you PM , I can give you name of a sports doc at Hornsby who I have used for my shoulder and other injuries. I can highly recommend him.

Treehugger wax

www.treehuggerwax.com or on ebay.

Gowings used to stock Pantagonia. Miss that store.

I have contacted Pantagonia through their web site. You can buy on-line but they do not have any stockists in Australia (that was last year when I inquired).

Oldie, Your post makes me a feel a little better. Try looking at Grant Miller's boards. www.waterskatesurfboards.com His boards are pretty useful for us less lithe than we used to be. He has worked throught all this stuff. There is a thread on his boards in these forums. It seems all who have them a...

Never understood why surfers promote surfing by wearing name brand surf clothes. Listen folks - we do not want to make it popular. We have a finite respource - beaches - waves I only buy functional name stuff - eg wet suits. I do not get upset at persons flogging the gear - they are trying to make a...

You could have a look at Mark Rabbige's Fatboy Fish Nice bloke too Unless you happening to be surfing the same break and he is on a filthy big mal and is on a personal mission to pick off every wave... yep, nice bloke, just not to surf with :wink: Point taken - never surfed with him - just bought b...
