Hi All,

Anyone know if sun cure is considered a dangerous good item for taking on board plane? Looking at what to take in case of repairs needed for trip O/S.

Thanks
MrP

thanks folks, appreciate the feedback

Thanks el rancho, would it be adequate to take just the two boards or would I be better off taking a 3rd just in case? Going to be there for just under 2 weeks

I'm heading over to Indo for first time ever and trying to work out which size/type of board to take. I normally ride a 6'7" Miller V-Skate or a 6'10 SA Big Toe board which has little rocker. Most people I've spoken to have said to take a board around 2 inches longer than board I usually ride or hav...

Hi old grom, I've been searching for something similar for years and finally found perfect combo for me....ended up with Simon Anderson 6'10" TOE model (custom order only) for the smaller days or really full days and a 6'10" Outer Islands Smart board for when it starts getting bigger. I've also owne...

Yes started in Kaviang and saw some incredible sites, cleanest water & seafood and incredible diving and marine life

Agree on basket case, could be an amazing place but way too much corruption

Thanks all for the feedback, i've been to PNG before for a live aboard dive trip and wasn't that impressed with the barb wire fence and gun wielding guards on each corner of the main hotel in Port Moresby. Scared of a little adventure? Heh, yeh, it's not for everyone. Ha ha actually enjoyed the tri...

What are the dimensions/shape of the of TOE model and roughly how much for custom? Thanks for the advice Collnarra, my big toe arrived a few weeks ago and have had a good number of sessions on it over the past week around Manly to Longy and the board is exactly what I was after. Has the paddling ab...

Thanks all for the feedback, i've been to PNG before for a live aboard dive trip and wasn't that impressed with the barb wire fence and gun wielding guards on each corner of the main hotel in Port Moresby. I went to a small island up north and saw a few surf bungalows being built and some nice waves...

Thanks Beanpole, I thought that might be the case. Any other recommendations?

Hi All, I've been asked to organise a friends 40th birthday and his wife has suggested a week or two in Bali surfing. Myself and his mates are keen but none of us have ever been surfing in Bali and have a mix of beginners and intermediate surfers so looking for somewhere suitable for both groups. Bo...

Hi Nick, Thanks for the great read with the new book, I noticed in one of the photos in the book a guy named Kingsley Looker. Is he the same Kingsley that now sells real estate? Was/Is he a good surfer if it is? He sold my unit a few years ago and was one of the best agents I've dealt with but never...

Very nice board cuttlefish, probably a bit bigger than what I was after but very happy to see some quality Aust made boards at reasonable prices..my hopes of finding the right board at that price are raised. Was a bit shocked at the price of some of the GSI Thailand made boards I have seen!

What are the dimensions/shape of the of TOE model and roughly how much for custom?

I also see he has a new model subx since I last checked his website. Anyone ridden one of these & can provide feedback?

Thanks ctd, I used to own a miller f skate years ago and forgot how well that board paddled and how good the glassing was. I'm liking the water skate and also much better pricing than most of the others I've seen.

I might give him a call and have a chat.

Good point Cuttlefish, that's a hard one to answer as I enjoy both my short and longboards depending on the waves conditions etc. Main reason for something in between is mainly when the surf is smaller in size and I couldn't be bothered lugging around the mal and also looking for something a bit eas...

Hi All, I'm looking for a board that is bigger than my shorty (6'7") and mal for surfing anything from 1 foot to 3ft that is very easy to paddle but still offers something more than a mini mal shape. I've been looking at MR flying fish or McTavish Sumo around the 7' size but not sure about spending ...
