"Hanalei Bay is so beautiful and the wave is bloody great-just don't piss off the locals by excitedly speeding in the carpark-ooops." Did you get the slap on the bonnet or just the Oi with moari type death glare? in Dec paid $25 for 1 board each way Stayed in a rental house at Haeena 10mins past Han...

dont know if i would be travelling with a nasty cough like that- spent a week in a villa on the golf cousrse 200m walk to resort and facilities and beach. Way to go with family and heaps cheaper than staying at resort and paying big bucks 4 food and drinks. Nice little right hander at the bay and wa...

Thats it im never buying another mag wrapped in plastic deciding weather to spend my ten bucks between surfing life and tracks today and i opt for SL cause of Central coast on cover- 2008 opens up well unless the chick on the spread is from terrigal i see no mention of the coast at all, they could h...

hoping someones got an easier way to repair a stripped thread in a fcs plug rather than fitting a new plug, particularly in an epoxy.
Are there oversized grub screws or has any one had any luck with any other solutions?

cheers

Im midway between newcastle and sydney and generally surf @ shellybeach. I reckon the crowds here are generally pretty good , a big difference from nth beaches. Last year i surfed around anglesea to kennett river after easter and i think there were as many in the water down there as here when the su...

originally from melb used to surf down that way a bit many years ago, the gunnery would be to the left of that photo and big left at the other end of the course. I dont miss the cold one bit, remember freezing days down at the shank and flinders and wetties wernt what they are now 20 odd yrs ago. Go...

Being 12 years on the central coast NSW these pics bring back memories of all to many drives from melb to be greeted with similar. I dare say with some of the swell down that way it would have been pretty epic in the last few weeks, but im sure pretty cold too - 14-15? degrees yet? Has pines been wo...

some of the avenues on the way to portsea are worth a look see, some may take a 5 min walf along tea tree tracks to escape the crowds and gett a bit of beach to yourself, also worth the ferry to point lonsdale from Sorrento and access to west coast if you have time or inclination. dont forget jumper...

I try and get something in my gut but let me tell you if i dont get to a dunny b4 heading out im in big trouble, particularly if im in a steamer-
steamer in a steamer ya know

Billabong came good with a brand spanker, said it may have had larger bottom panel ?, anyway happy customer here.

I have just returned my billabong foil wetsuit exact same problem, and they have sent it back to billabong. The shop said they sell heaps of them but have never had that problem, so its either our ankles or a potential prob that a lot of people might not worry about? Only the left leg though, legrop...

Yes, it seems that the surf is a lot better in front of a passive crew, i would have thought the advantages of kite/windsurfers was to be able to get where others arnt, i.e bombies etc, and there is never just one of them either, there like flies to a week old nappy!

Reading smh on saturday that kite surfers cant come within 20 m of any one in the water, does that mean they wont surf bomb sets thru a line up?

i sometimes wear long arm springys when my dicky shoulder is playing up as it seems to support it , where as it starts bugging me if im only in a rashie- as they say, whatever spins ya wheels....

i gotta russ head hybrid 7 '4" to ease the old fella back into it and it went fine. maybe a bit slow but thats the nature of the beast, im about to pick up a miller waterskate and i think youre best to talk to the shapers and find out who and what there shaping for- Most are easy to talk to and prob...

Has anyone bought a wettie on the internet from the us- free delivery elastos @ 250 us bucks- what could go wrong?

whats the go?
