Re: Cursed surfboards...do they exist?

...a cursed surfboard ...I am at the point where i am going to sell it soon If it is cursed and you sell it to someone else then that is bad karma for you (unless the new owner knows how to remove the curse) - I think you should be careful, probably better just to store it where you can keep an eye...

I love it a lot.

But I think you need to add a gratuitous sex scene (or just gratuitous but large breasts in slow motion, if for an american audience).

Do as the English Channel swimmers do...
Any type of protective grease is permitted, but that normally used is a mixture of LANOLIN and Petroleum Jelly

Go the Shuttle Bus. No problems with the boards (if they don't go with a trailer they'll slide 'em down the aisle inside), cheaper than a Maxi Taxi.

Anyway, I've never seen a SUP out in anything over half a foot. At least in Manly that is. I saw a SUP on roof racks at Manly yesterday; it had Future Fins Vectors fitted - (from the Futures website) Vector Tech Foils were developed for the specific purpose of creating maximum speed and kinetic dri...

I don't understand, when the head offices of these businesses are located in Australia, why all new lines are released to the US months before we can buy them here. Needless to say, plenty of people see this great opportunity and stick all this "rare" gear up on ebay Australia. DuG: 1. consider the...

I like frothing...it has a meaning. All these other words don't. If your gonna come up with a new word for it, it has to have the same meaning. Well then we need to learn how to make a cappuccino and learn all the Barista's jargon while we're at it, and then surfers can use their synonym for "froth...

Jargon is terminology that relates to a specific activity, profession or group... In some cases it is used as a shibboleth to distinguish those who belong to a group from those who do not. Those unfamiliar with a subject can often be tagged by their incorrect use of jargon . So for surfing jargon p...

What is the next word after "frothing"?

I'm sorry but it is time for a new über-cool word for the surfing insiders fraternity - "frothing" never really took off and now it sounds more like its true meaning " covered with lathery sweat or saliva from exhaustion or disease " which is less than cool. We true surfers need a new word. What do ...

surfwear is cheaper bought in US and posted to Aus ! What !? squidly - pretty much everything bought overseas and shipped to Australia is cheaper, even Australian-sourced things which must have first been sold overseas can then be bought and imported back to Australia cheaper than you can buy them ...
