Re: Debate over shark killer rages
Interesting thread,mountains of facinating information I saw one about 2 weeks ago out maroubra pointed it out to another bloke and we just paddled in calmly but with purporse.It showed no interest in us at all.I think Pinhead is on the right track with the trama bandages and stuff I always carry a ...

Re: Rate your Beach!!!
I recon maroubra 8/10 its pretty consistantly good even in south swells whitch tend to close out the nth end.It handles a good 8' and once over 4'+ its never crowded especially in summer.

Re: Displacement hull boards
Not sure what you meen by "displacement hull".But if you meen a rolled bottom with nose concave and 50/50 rails check out Jordi Brown's High Tide boards,I got a 9'8" last year and am verry happy with every thing about it.Not realy ment for waves over 3' though.

Re: Has surfing lost it's soul?

Re: skinny feet or shite wax job ???
I wax my boards almost the same I do have small feet for a bloke but my point of reason is that if one of my feet endup that far off centre Im going to fall off anyway and if you've ever watched the rails of a board through a turn you'd know that a lot of water travels over that side of the deck.You...

Re: Surf satire from 'Bearded Gimp'
G'day Roy,yeh the fin's great.Im thinking of getting a real wide tail fish moving the side finns up a bit and using the tunnel as a centre fin, similar to a thruster set up but with one obvious diference.I'm still yet to decide on the size and shape of the side fins but I,ll probably go for standard...

Re: kneeboarders???
Before you do anything I suggest that you book an appointment with a phsycotherapist.They may be able to help you before this gets to the advanced stage.Remember prevention is better than cure.

You can certanly see why they call the tasman a sea when all the good weather systems are on the other side of the island chain.We may still score in the gap between vanawatu and nth island N.Z. :?
