Nice board Hatchy. Quality glass job by the looks too. How long is it,6'?
That's a pretty good price for one of those.

The top bun, plunging neckline t or singlet, skin tight jeans or actual tights look is very close to female clothing visually. With the full bushranger it turns more medieval minstrel. Still pretty fem though.

I wear disposable gloves.......then always manage to grab something after I take them off.....and use acetone to get it off.

How fast was he going?
That was insane.

Diamonds always seem to look right on bonzers.

Yeah, I found his stuff very understandable. I didn't realise Kelly was riding pintails. I thought they were just round tails or rounded pins. Have to check it out.
Re: Scorpions etc: those style boards are basically cutdown Mals with a pintail bunged on the end so they don't spin out.

He had no idea how to turn that board.
Equipment confusion will be brutally exposed if/when he runs up against a confident goofyfoot.

Yes, definitely after watching his 9:97 ride.

Well, seemed to make up for it in Round 2.

Is that where he's riding a round nosed minimal shaped thing that looks like it's pushing water?

Eastern Suburbs secret spot. Amazing how many people don't seem to work.

Yes The Beanpole Heart & Soul Model will be soul arching into the shore break in no time.

Ctd, that is the lamest idea I have ever heard of. Should make a squillion.

You have a wide range of interests braithy. I think this dovetails nicely with surfing in a way that Shearer with his surfing/fishing coupling can only dream of.

Since I go up and down about 4 to 5 flights of stairs between 5 and 8 times a day I've taken to running up half the time. Lately I've started running down with my legs further apart. This seems to bite more.

Make sure you drink enough fluids to encourage pooing.

Takes longer to turn then unless you do a pivot?

Dick Harvey talks about planing speed and compression speed on his site. Makes sense to me. Still down to rails and rocker. Re: pintails not turning well. If you wanted to make a generalisation a pintail is more about hold than turning. Generally a wider rail has to turn easier. Feel free to tell me...

A later MP?
Actually a mate came over on Sunday who is of a similar build to that. Lives in Cowra these days. Fantasies about getting back into surfing......but not on a mal. He'd need an SUP to float him.
