Re: Samoa April

I went last year in early may. surf guides at the retreat on savaii mentioned that they had scored some epic waves a few weeks prior to me arriving. i reckon you could definitely be in with a chance of scoring good waves

Re: a.d.d to aspergers syndrom

hey guys, hope things are going well. just thought i'd share the title of a good book i'm reading at the moment. it's called 'be different - the adventures of a free-range aspergian'. i thought it was written in a way that is a lot more accessible than other books on aspergers.

anyways, has anyone tried a firewire el fuego, not a roundtail but they do come with diamond tails. pretty keen on the design but am interested in first hand experience.

Re: a.d.d to aspergers syndrom

also, i think a significant proportion of the suffering people with aspergers experience is due to society's limited tolerance for people who are considered 'different'. in other words, society needs to better accommodate people with aspergers. anyways, i wish you the best with your son. having you...

Re: a.d.d to aspergers syndrom

i was diagnosed with aspergers about 3 years ago. personally, i always cringe when someone says having aspergers is 'unfortunate'. i know it throws up a whole range of issues but, honestly, humanity needs people with aspergers just as much as we need 'neurotypicals'. also, i think a significant prop...
