Re: Shark Island Challenge 2009 Webcast

Going strictly off a dodgy memory, Blackwolf and Caribee are pretty much town bags that I wouldn't trust with my grandma's stool sample on a solid weekend test on the road or bush. I bought a Blackwolf Cedar Breaks 90L (expandable to 90 litres) a couple months back from paddy pallin. I am heading t...

i scored tuesday real good. offshore - 3-5ft at a magnet spot. i dont see how you guys can call this a flat spell. it really hasn't been going that long and hence doesn't count as a flat spell in my opinion. just think of june, and see it as a price to pay, and get some things done that you'll never...

i gotta agree with you NZ. im a bit unco at frontside dk on my atd. i think that is because its a bit wider and thinner so it doesn't roll rail to rail as easily as for example my manta dkone. ive only surfed it twice though (due to exams and uni etc). but backside is an absolute f*cking dream!!!!!!...
