All of it, for spending $1100 on a DHD.

haha. i went looking for a Lost Quiver Killer. got talked into the DHD by salesman who said 12 weeks wait or more for the LOst board. got home aand realised I'd crossed the DHD off my list the week before after some bad reviews. bit gutted.

I'm hoping you guys here can help me out. I've always bought second hand boards in the past. Recently bought a brand spanking new board...DHD Black Diamond ...with fins and bag was nearly $1100. I've ridden it 4 times...its mint....but I've got no idea how much to ask for it. any tips ?

Looks like a great big guy board. Wish there was a few reviews somewhere though.

Cool... Thanx

Just wondering which shops have the best selection ?.... And even better... longboard riding staff ?

some Portugese guy just got 10 points for a 7.9 pt ride

....I don't where that is but I'm sure as hell not eating their Babi Guling

and by Western you mean Australian

yeah Maori Bay was where I surfed tripping .....the near drowning was few kms up Muriwai beach from the Surf Club.

Years ago in Murawai, Nz I had the most serious hold down I've ever had...thought I was going to drown etc etc...I'm sure I wasn't even close but it spooked me for a week or so -- up until the session I had a after ingesting a portion of a trip. Caught a big one and fell off and just rolled around u...

steve is surely right, it was undoubtedly a bit of a missed opportunity. folly of youth and all that, aka stupid. i'm in the water most days now, but am still damn lazy when it comes to travelling. the surf is better a 20-minute drive away. but i just walk down the end of the street for a wave. #. ...

She's a keeper alright....I've been to Bali 4 times now but I don't actually surf anywhere near as much as I should for a multitude of reasons but 2 of which are the missus wants to go stay at surf-less places like Candi Dasa and Ubud ...and then when I am near surf she gets bored if shes by herself...

Good question. I've often wondered how the pro's get treated by the Pipe locals

Why couldn't we have a separate Pipe thread
jus saying.

Poor Yadin ...3 amazing waves...and I'm pretty sure his name wasn't even mentioned for the next 90 mins or so of the webcast.

do you guys think JJ caved in to the pressure a bit on that last wave ?

It's in the garage so I'll leave it there out of the light. I'm hoping it didn't get much water inside as I was right at the shore and mis-judged where the rocks were...when it happened picked board straight up out of water...hopefully minimal water in the foam

Smashed my new board up pretty good today...second time I've ridden it. Rode up on the rocks and smashed 2 side finboxes out and both fins have pierced board - one fin right through board ! Seeing as how I'm saving up for a few things in Dec/Jan I'm considering leaving the repair till Feb .....is th...
