Something just a little bit longer and refined for solid hollow days or spots you need to get in real early. If you really want to mix it up and are into riding different designs a small wave boa...

Re: Strahan tassie
Ive lived in most states of Australia including Tassie. If i had a choice between Strahan and even Burnie id choose Burnie.

Re: Chapelle Corby
It won't discourage potential drug runners one iota. It's just political posturing by a weak leader who is trying to make himself look tough to gain public acclaim and win elections. This situation is not unlike that of Victorian Premier Sir Henry Bolte who hanged Ronald Ryan in Victoria (the last ...

Re: How to protect wounds from infection
Similar to my approach 1.(clean) Wash with bottled water, scrub if needed but only with something clean. 2. (disinfect) Squeeze and rub fresh lime juice into it (and let it dry) 3. (treat) Put a little Chinese medicine on it. 4. Keep it clean and dry for as long as you can, and if you go surfing and...

Re: Resort Latitude Zero
I have been to latitude zero once with my family and w e are very delighted by their service. Off season prices are really cheap and they provide excellent food and service with that prize, and Telesteps . You can go there without any doubts. Really cheap? Im sorry but i find that hard to believe.

Don't expect it would but you could always fold and tape the nose of the board bag if your worried to technically shorten the length.

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Used both the O'neill one's posted above and FCS ones, over the last two years, both held up well and felt good design wise. The FCS ones have a bit of an edge on the O'neill ones design wise as have double straps (ankle and on top of foot) which allows you to get a real snug fit, only problem i had...

Re: Sunny Coast Wave Pool
Wave pools to me are like brothels or should i say paying for waves is like paying for sex.
I guess your got to do it at least once for the experience but its not something you would want to pay for regularly, and even if its good its not the real deal.
