Ok, I'll bite.
Some elaboration on the good and bad consequences needed here SS.

Hillman Hunter.jpg My first car - It had a sticker on the side which said "Your passport to adventure". I thought that was so Peter Stuyvesant cool when i was 17. Only 3 cylinders worked and the wasted fuel from the dud cylinder would build up in the manifold and on the odd occasion flames would co...

well fuck me if it wasn't cranking at the lake mouth for a change over the last few days. Gets banks about once every 2 years or so. When they finally form they are mighty. This particular bank is a product of recent dredging to open the lake mouth - and it has been good. Early morning and late afte...

Stick like that should get a work out over the next week or so.
Live in hope.

GC pointbreak, but not that one. Was teaching a 13 yr old to surf for the first hour, had him getting 5sec rides consistently within 30 mins so that was great to see the stoke. Gonna be a stampede in the next few days...'bout to get fairly interesting. Nice one Boo - passing on the good oil. probly...

Can't be certain Groots, most likely a make up job. Good likeness.

Well done for scoring a new suit BDL, no such offer came my way. Hoping you're right about the dud glue batch (we must've bought about the same time) as the suits are good in other aspects. I like the little magnet thingy on the chest zip. Still, if it was a dud glue batch you'd think they might fes...

^^^ I should clarify - They did also offer to fix the suit, but it meant i had to send it back to the States for repair (at my cost). It was the middle of winter and i needed the suit. I could send it back now that the water is warm again but it's just more cost and effort to have something repaired...

Buell 4/3 report - Had the suit since mid June, fairly light level use, maybe 25 - 30 surfs. The warmth, flexibility and comfort factor is good, however, the tape over the seams is coming apart all over the place. Not sure if i picked up a dud or if it's common to the brand. The good people at Buell...

I hope Roy doesn't miss the boat (little joke for Hatchy there :P) though on this. Imagine when all the Billas and all the Bongs realise he's right and start making reasonably priced versions? Imagine picking up a nicely crafted board to Roy's specs for a couple of hundred? Even a grand for the ric...

What everyone else said plus a bucket load of commitment. Sometimes it's better not to think too much about it. Just go as hard as you can, in the moment. http://vincentlaforet.smugmug.com/gallery/6961015_exAjb/1/447303587_UUCcZ/Large Watch O'Briens paddle in, it's the best part of the clip. Vincent...

Fcuk, looks the jizz Dug.
Why do you have a west logo on it?

Anyone else have a thing for Rosie Hodge?
All i want to see is the Rosie interviews for the visuals. Cameramen do their best to be subtle but it's obvious where their focus is.
One sexy Zaffa.

faarking hell That was one of, if not the best surfing comps ever held. The surf was insane, the surfing was insane. The perfection of the waves will be a new measuring stick. Carroll and Shearer got the benefit of a first hand view, not to mention surfing the place in epic conditions. Cunce. Enough...

purple - were the blue tongues in Tama gully?

Thick socks and jandals on shit brown carpet. That's quite a photo. You're a fcuken style master. Your shoe string budget attire might have helped save you from the gangster bro locals in downtown Auckland. What a bunch of good ol boys, scaring the crap out of a lone whitey just for the hell of it. ...
