I think that about sums it up.

Say hello to Mangamaunu for me. try and take a photo of a surfer train and semi coming round the bend at the same time (a master shot) :D The return to the land of Whaikikamukou. :lol: Will do.Snapped my favorite board at Meat works last summer. Was the only one out. Just about got washed down to K...

Summer on the east coast is mainly 2ft wind affected bluebottle infested close period slop anyway. I find it hard to take anyone who wants to fight over it seriously. Went out on the weekend at sparrows fart and shared a little peak with a few guys until the wind got into it. Wouldn't have bothered ...

How'd you like to share a wave with these boys?

I visited the central and southern atolls last september with liquid destinations. We hit a bit of a flat spell surfing mainly 2-3 ft. Usually we had the breaks to ourselves. Only saw one other boat of the central attols.Bit of travel between breaks. With a bit of swell it would be an awesome place ...

As long as the locals are only leasing to foreigners it is not always a bad thing. Means a lot of infrastructure is put in place (funded by foreigners) which means the local owners can increase the leases when they come up for renegotiation. Just got back from a trip to Vanuatu. Foreigners can only ...

Never done a 360 (intentionally). Would like to have ago. Will be travelling up the coast in a few weeks so will be in contact. When is it going to be ready?

I just wasted 30 seconds of my life trying to figure out what this thread is about.

I use contacts while surfing and wear glasses generally. My eyes aren't suitable for laser surgery. I buy the weekly use ones so they are not too expensive and its not a big deal if one comes out in the surf.Ocassionally you lose one but not often. An additional benefit of contacts lenses for surfer...

Had a session on my five plugger today in quad mode. It felt like a thruster with out the centre fin (ie loose). Had fun riding it on my forehand but backhand was a bit weird. Just wouldn't seem to hold the same line as a thruster. First quad I've ridden so not sure if this is normal.

Hmmm. Wish this thread had started a few days earlier. bought a thruster/quad combo on ebay last week and picked it up this weekend. Haven't had a chance to ride it.Its gone flat, as is always the case when I buy a board.

I'm 49 and get a skin check once a year after having a lot of sun exposure when I was young. Have had quite a few bits and pieces cut/scraped off over the years but last year the specialist at royal North Shore prescribed a cream called Aldara for a precancer I had on my jawline beside my ear. Said ...

Try turning the board over....so the fins are in the water :?

Absolutely awesome and inspiring to watch. Meanwhile back here in Sydney we have ......... Oh its too depressing.

Didn't surf today. Went fishing instead. Last surf was at raglan on Tuesday. Around 6-8ft glassy 14 second period and 150m plus rides. Lots of people in the water but still got a few riding a 6'9" semi gun.

[/quote] Try the Euro stuff as it's quicker than what the the Yank factories have. Exxy though. (Norma, RWS or Horneber)[/quote] Yeah, Have used Hornady light magnums that get around 2800fps but, like you said, exxy at nearly 3 bucks a pop.. Also if any ones interested; the sydney surf is..............
