I was on the mid Goldy on a fun bank, me a mate and 2 muppets complaining about their big night last night and generally just teabagging.

Blind Brazillian surfs Pipeline.

Inspiring, yes, but given most Brazillians are half blind and completely deaf, not remarkable.

Re: Bong in big trouble

Wonder how the likes of Piping Hot, Element, Maui & Sons, Mambo, et al are fairing? There's a massive new Element shop at Burleigh. Right near the Billabong shop. I thought Bong owned Element? Seems pretty fricken dumb, buy out profitable companies then compete with yourself. Just tried to find out...

Re: Autumn - How's it lookin?

Going on nothing more scientific than gut feel, I reckon we're building into a month's worth of excellence, starting in late March.
Probably centred around the 29th-3rd of April (because I'll be on the other coast then...)

Re: Anyone know any good Fiji surf transfers from Nadi

Grandma grew up in Fiji, she said the locals used to tie stuff round their feet because the white would attract curious fish.
They were far more scared of cuda than sharks.

Rode a modernised single designed for better things, and had a blast. Goes like a ...
