Re: North Shore Oahu
Could be a good time to go for a surf if you luck it, though some breaks will not have had time to offload their sand build up that early in the season I would think. Plenty of great breaks outside of the big name spots up Haleiwa way. Somewhere like Jocko's could be good if a swell is on. Other tha...

Re: Ask Carroll
Like you Steve I find very little value in the board advertorials from any of the mags.But then again I don't think I really fit the target market of surf magazines,and I guess they cant please everyone.

Re: Ask Carroll
Nick, I'm looking for a comfortable top for paddle training to stop my nips getting rashed. To date I have worn wetty vests but I find them a bit restricting. Anything you suggest? I know somewhere on here a while back you suggested a good paddle shirt to look for but I can't find the post. For bott...

Re: Help me choose a board
Yep for sure.I got a brand new Maurice Cole about a year ago off the rack for 450 and the guy even threw in a cover to get it back to Sydney on the plane. The board turned out to be one of the most insane boards I've ever had.I honestly think the guy was off his head on drugs. His reason was that at...

Re: Help me choose a board
Just be careful if you are putting yourself as 'advanced' in one of those online volume calculators. Hard to say without seeing you surf though. Plenty of good second hand boards out there. The great thing about second hand or a great deal off the rack is that you are not blowing wads of $$$ if you ...

"A women only owes her children. End of story". Well you can shove that statement right up your a$$ Davros.

Re: Ask Carroll
Thanks Nick. Some great stuff there. I have a mate who is going to take me out for some training once Molokai is over this year (you know him). He is going to go through some technical stuff and has a serious edge over me so that should help push me to become better. He has offered to do it on a 18 ...

Re: Ask Carroll
should add basic fitness level at 40 is high with resting heart rate around 52 and heart rate recovery very good. So don't be afraid to throw something at me.

Re: Ask Carroll
Nick, I have laid down my own basic training program with the goal of increasing paddle fitness and gradually increase paddle distance with the view of completing my first medium distance race. Care to critique it? I know it’s far from perfect. Been doing this for 2 months to lay a foundation and it...

Re: correct paddling technique?
Interesting. I sit at a computer a fair bit. Been doing a heap of paddle training (bloody insane new Brad Gaul racing board is to blame). I have developed a bit of an issue around the rear lower shoulder blade area. Anyway went to see a good physio. What has happened is paddling has strengthened my ...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
The quality of quicky wetsuits in general has been pretty terrible in my experience. With so many better made wetties at less cost possibly surfstitch got too many sent back?

Re: correct paddling technique?
I have had shoulder issues in the past, however over the past 2 years my shoulder problems have greatly improved and are now pretty minor. What worked for me is paddling. Distance paddling a clubby board has helped fix my shoulders. I'm not saying this will work for all. It just worked for me. My th...

Re: Maurice Cole Metro 3 For Sale
Sorry just saw this. To be honest I decided to keep the board because with a change to smaller fins I started to really like the board. It was like a new board and was going great. I have not ridden it for while due to other boards that have made their way to the quiver. If you really did want it I ...

Re: The Top 50 sportsmen
I think Jimmy is full of sh!t and has never met or said a word to sister Layne in his life. If he did meet her he would be shocked and his whole little fantasy of her being such a hideous human being may well get ripped to pieces. I had to break the news but despite what internet trolls who have nev...
