Re: Coconut Spray; The Niugini Experience
Sounds great- I’m both already over the hill and only competent enough for longboard waves.

Re: General snow stuff
Bores the shit out of me. It’s like watching repetitive gymnastics. ‘But there is an Australian in it, so we will only show snowboarding for 5 hours and then repeat it the next day. No one is interested in sports that don’t have australians’ Ch 7 executive (Yes am aware of their much better website)

Re: Coconut Spray; The Niugini Experience
SP lager is literally the worst i’ve tasted in the world (after 12 years in the navy, i’ve had a few shit beers). Go the export variety and make sure you drink it quick while it’s cold. When I was flying to PNG in the early 1990s, we would take off from Cairns and as soon as the seatbelt sign went ...

Re: Midlengths
Friend of mine has a seaaxe, seems like a great board. Can’t believe how light it is though. She is a 66yr old who only started surfing 6 years ago, so that’s good for her .... But I’ve had a short (2 wave) surf on it and, based on that extensive experience (!) have recommended it to a few people lo...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I often wondered what happened to Keith because he had a lot to do with how I turned out as a person. there was an Industrial technology Teacher Keith Porter at St John Bosco College until around 2016 (having been there for 'over 25 years'); then he moved to be Industry Partnerships Manager at La S...

Re: Best softboard to use to teach kids ???
My kids started getting into the 6' Grommy softboard I bought them last year. They were just riding on their stomachs. My daughter was doing fine, but my son couldn't not nose dive. I tried many techniques with him, but there's only so far back on a board you can lie before it's a tombstone. It has...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Worst was a bloke coming in. Gut sliding, which was sensible, until right near the shore, about 5m away from a 10yr old kid, tried to pop up in the whitewater and his board goes flying and spears the water about a metre from the kid. I made sure to keep at eye out after that. Generally it was bloke...

Re: Strahan tassie
Maybe look at Burnie or around that area.
Even in Tasmania they make jokes about Queenstown.

Re: Bribie Island Board Riders
Ive only been to Brisbane twice. Once for work and once when my airplane blew up and I had to spend the night. Thats the closest I've been to Bribie.
Although when I lived in HK I knew a person called Breebie. Does that count?

Re: Watch recommendations
ISO 22810:2010 says that 50m watches are only suitable for ‘shallow’ water activities (although that includes swimming) and should not be used for activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth; 100m is recommended for surfing So 50m is fine so long as you don’t duck dive...
