But since then I've had the same wetty, it gets a good thrashing from March to November and has lasted me 3 years now. Personally im pretty slack with caring for it and it has lasted well c...

what's the difference btwn "pumping and weaving". Fond do you mean like that kind of pump you see pros do in their bottom turn to generate speed before (I'm thinking of Parko here) they smack the lip? how about the little double-pump bottom turn you do to get a little bit of extra speed to propel y...

I did get heavier g...

tips for waxing a new board
Any tips for waxing up a new board and getting those lovely humps? I've tried dipping the wax in hot water before applying it but it doesn't work as well as I'd like... there must be a better way!
