Thanks ric It all sounds too hi tech for a neanderthal with an angle grinder like me I see what you mean about the EPS and the fin box, whoever put the builder's ply fin in put lots of wood shavings and crap around the base so fark knows whats under it, once thats removed it will need something subs...

Hey guys, Haven't posted for a while but I recently picked up a Bennett Isaac Fields Model 9'2" x 23 x 3 1/8 Tried the demo first in crapy conditions but I liked the style of board so I went with it Only had a few hours on it in small surf but so far so good Found it hooks in quite good and therefor...

Thanks for the info and offers Ric I know its been over a year since my original post but i have finally got the board to the stage where Im ready to do the fin box and paint the bloody thing. (I'm working on it outdoors and have to wait for good weather so I want to finish it this year before winte...

How can one creature cut off another creatures tail, lather it in Vaseline and shove it up their holiest of holiest places just so they get can their rocks off. It’s just not natural Maybe when someone drops in they should have their fin cut off, lathered in Vaso, and shoved right up their finbox????

We have a Canon G10 ( was top of the point-and shoots) and a 1000d (bottom of the DSLRs) Highly recommend both (not sure what the G11 is like) If you want to be able to change lenses and use GND/Polarising filters the 1000d is the go if you want to just pull it out of your backpack/hand bag and go s...

I think its a good idea dino My kids (6 & 10) are in nippers and have learnt a lot about the surf in the couple of years that they have been doing it My oldest now does mini iron mans at nippers and my youngest can paddle a board out and around the cans and catch a wave back in. I have tried in the ...

Nic board and art Cactus There's probably a better way but I've become so used to doing it this way I find it pretty fast. Hey Guys There is a picture resize tool for XP available from Microsoft just right click on the file/picture and choose "resize picture" - its that easy! heres the link http://d...

To stop pusherinerers I reckon they should cyclone fence the point and put in turnstiles

Signs do nothing but justify a prosecution(not that that happens) People in general seem to just do wotever-the-fcuk they like at the beach regardless of signs Last weekend was a classic non-sign-reading kook weekend Swimmers (or standers coz they wern't swimin') from DY to LR, in front of the break...

Looks like a Brazilian to me

Yeah agreed Nick, I looked closer at some of the boards at the club yesterday and Bennett make a rescue board fin for a box so I will try to get one of those and have Ric put it in. Ric, the Knead It Aqua was dead easy to use, filled most of the smaller dings with it in minutes I removed the remaini...

Thanks Ric
The Knead-It Aqua sounds like a good thing for the smaller dings where I wouldn't use glass anyway

Im' ok with basic dings etc but I think I might take it to a repairer to get the fin box put in
Any suggestions? on the NB

Having snow skied since before there were snowboards, I reckon at the moment it looks a kooky as the first Winterstick snowboards did back in the 80's. All the hard core skiers were saying "Who wants to ride a surf board in the snow it will never work?....go back to the beach" :shock: Give it time a...

I scored an old Rescue Paddle Board minus the fin and need some help on how to make and install a new one It’s in pretty good nick despite about a dozen dings that must have been repaired during the great sandpaper famine! There was no prep or finishing sanding done at all and there was heaps of dry...

how come manly gets to have a tsunami, whats so good about manly? Manly would be toast along with the rest of the Sydney's coastline and suburbs "The largest palaeo-tsunami waves in Australia swept sediment across the continental shelf and obtained flow depths of 15-20 m at the coastline with veloc...

I have a 10yr old that has tried a few boards I got her a 5'6" foamy - no good - too floaty - fat in the rails and a bit squirrelly Then tried a wider thinner 6' one - same Last attempt was on a 8' mini mal and she did ok - same as yours riding it to the sand With the bigger heavier board she could ...
