Re: Firewire

I love Legoland...just saying Wingnut, your three categories is a bit light on mate. What about your high performance boards that are of pu/poly construction? What about Roy's timber master pieces?

Also can you tell the younger users what the surf was like on their birthdays?
Epic idea!

Re: the crime ( gold) coast

the goldy is like L.A. All glitzy shizzle on the surface but underneath its all desperate's trying to hit the big time.

Re: boards, how many and what you got....?

Just drill the spade bit in till the middle point goes through the other side so you can screw through the pine into each dowel. Then dyna ...

Re: Trip Around Australia

Al, can I call you that mate? I've been where you are mate. Life deals some strange hands at time and it's hard to know how to play em. To be honest, your missus sounds a bit hard on you mate, but I guess after being together for as long as you have there's going to be some abrasiveness there, ah we...

I put front foot grip on a board once in the eighties and hated it! The stuff gave me the worst rashes ever and wasn't as grippy as wax imo The newer tech material would be a lot better but the rash prob would still be an issue (for me anyway), plus i like the feel of wax I reckon a composite traile...
