Re: " but I still love the old world"....Where to from here?

Great to hear the tour was well accepted Skip. nice work mate! Seven weeks ago i was in a shit of a place. The black dog had closed its jaws on me and like a pit bull was not letting go. At times like that you don't want reason, you don't want truth and you don't want someone putting their face in w...

Re: your last surf for a good while

have done this a few times fong and my last one is never really planned out unfortunately. I'm on a hiatus at the moment and my last surf was horrible! I contracted some weird inner ear problem that resulted in a vertigo kind of condition so every surf had me feeling dizzy and wanting to throw up. I...

Re: quiet

I've been toying with the idea of doing a hollow timber board for ages now and its still a bit of a way off...one day... But on another note, we are winding up our boat business so i will be moving a bit of gear soon so anyone who is looking for some materials and tools as well as a few other assort...

Re: " but I still love the old world"....Where to from here?

I'm finding tears welling at the corners of my eyes and a painful lump has begun to grow in my chest. The last few pages have consumed me during my morning commute and the feeling of despair and melancholia are almost too overwhelming. The one solace I have at times like these is knowing that you ca...

Re: " but I still love the old world"....Where to from here?

To be completely honest, the ones I see who are trying to exhibit all this soul are the ones with a vested interest in the genre. I really don't give a fck if you surf cause it's a sport or a lifestyle or even as an escape from the world and all it's ills (real or not) I try to surf as regularly as ...

Re: Camping Ground between Coffs and Byron

I reckon you should try user 'Allan'

Re: Firewire

When you say 'machine shaped' I take that as meaning the vast number of pu boards that are machine shaped blanks then cleaned up by hand then glassed.
Anyway, I'm somewhat confused by your comments

Re: Andy Irons Dies

Mine too jaffa... Personally I don't think the asp or bbong are wholly to blame for his passing, it was his decision to head home, his decision to ingest the meds and to stay in the hotel. It's just a terrible turn of events that may have, repeat may have been avoided by actions being taken early on...
