Re: Highest quality custom wettie

I'd be prepared to pay top dollar - between 800 and 1000 but this would seriously depend on what warranty options come with it. I would also want to to last at least 5 to 7 years. I have an O'Neill Physco II and it's into it's third winter and I don't think it will make a fourth.

Re: that wetsuit discussion...

I have the 3/2 O'Neill Physco 2 and I get water flush down the back and it's not as warm as they make out. It is however the most comfortable suit I've ever had. A mate of mine recently bought a Radiator Suit and reckons it's the best yet. I'm gonna get one next season and for that price why wouldn'...

Re: JBay 2010

No worries - With a forecast like that I bet they wish it was running this month. :twisted:

Certainly is a very long time between drinks - bring back FIJI.

Re: JBay 2010

This is not in relation to the JBay pro is it? If so you're a month ahead of yourself.

15 - 25 JULY 2010.

That said - Looks like a good place to be this week. :D :D :D

Re: Josh Dowling Comsand

Stoked the board works Josh, I don't think anyone on this thread doubted it. :D I'm sure Jordy Smith would be interested in giving the board a test, he was testing that 6 fin board there last year. Also I haven't been on here in a while so BIG CONGRATS on the third mate. Our second is due in August,...

Re: Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover

High scores in the first heat - Adriano, as much as I don't like his style, looks good. Gonna be a few 10's today when the tide drops and the barrels start to open up.

Re: Samoa in july? waste of money or worth a stab?

Another thread which might help. http://forum.realsurf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17154&p=382723&hilit=samoa#p382723 Brendo summed it up pretty well. I only stayed at Samoana in May which has a close-out style beach break (over shallow reef) right out front which can have it's day. It is far from...

looked like junk before but starting to look very inviting - Cambo's last wave was one of the better ones of the day.

Re: Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover

I'm just a sofa supporter and have never actually watched a 'CT live in the flesh - which makes me overly critical of certain moves, with 3 replys, slow motion and commentators over expressing every move. It was funny listening to Snake score almost each wave perfectly and Todd overscoring by 2 poin...

Flow Motion

Super Slow Motion and a new dimension to analysing surf style - pretty cool.

Re: help me become a mal rider.

I dont want to ride it like any short board. I want to ride it the way a mal should be ridden. I have more respect for goat boaters than modern mal riders. Not what I meant, just the ease at which they can handle a board that size. My wife bought me 'One California Day' as an xmas present and that ...

Re: Josh Dowling Comsand

Wow three boards at once :shock: Wish I could do that. :D

The channels look good Josh, give some feedback when you get to take it for a spin. You can PM the comments if it rocks (which I'm sure it will) and you can avoid getting a stack of channel bottom orders. :wink:
