Cheers Buzzy. I've got a number of probs with this. First, what if someone does name him and I happen not to have checked the thread? Second, and it's related to the first, if there were to be a case, who would pay for my lawyer? The same person who pays for the forums, that's who. Third, should I f...

I moved it to the silly section. I may delete it if I think that it could land me in hot water legally. Any lawyers out there who can advise?

Hey Thermalben, have you ever thought of doing a subs thing for your forecasts? Dan from buoyweather has. I'm not sure how it's gone for him, but it is an idea. RealSurf is looking toward some section of content becoming subs only... but I have to confess that it's far from being decided as to what,...

As a stand-up, I don't get drop-knee. Does it improve control, speed, or anything? Or is it just fun (always a good enough reason in my book!)?
Some explanation about the why would be interesting to me anyway...

I confirm that I will pay a t-shirt at the end of the week to the person Stuey and the bendsman nominate. The cash amount, being somewhat greater than last month's ad income gross, is unfortunately not even a remote possibility. :wink:

Who knows maybe that's a way for realsurf to make some money Guess what? We thought of that idea a long time ago and when we finally got the shop online, we started doing it. What we've done is approach a number of shapers and put a simple proposition to them. We tell them we'll run their boards in...

Go the grovel for a RealSurf T-shirt!

On an impulse I've decided to hand out a few RealSurf t-shirts, but I need a really good reason to do so. Your task is simple: if you reckon you deserve one then respond to this with your reasons why and I will consider them and make a pronouncement by lunchtime Friday. Not sure how many I'll give a...
