I thought you weren't going to single me out any more RV

I just thought if you were going to all the trouble and expense, which is probably hundreds of thousands of dollars you might want to do a good job regardles of the fact that those viewing it are not paying. I guess not!

So you're saying all those (other) magazine gimps do it for the love? Doherty and Balkey et al?

Surely, the trade off of having someone articulate talking over the sheer dribble of Troy Brookes which was truly woeful, would mean a more professional presentation it would be worth the coin??????

Hey NC, why don't you do some commentary? Surely, there would be no conflict of interest? At least f uck Troy Brookes off he is f ucking useless, can't even string a sentance together, "any questions from up there" cause I don't know what then f uck to do there you go boys a brand looking after an x...

Aww thats not nice Fong and I was gonna buy your Dahlberg

Sorry Butts I'm with Wanto on this not sure what harm it does. I am not covinced the classifieds get read. By the way I have a 6'4 Al Merrick A6 for sale virtually brand new and a 6'3 DHD shaped for mick could be convinced to sell my 6'3 hayden fibre flex quad too if the price is right :D :D :D PM m...

Hey NC there have been comments by some of the younger guys coming through, mainly Dane I guess, that the judges aren't in a position to score the top guys on the CT because they themselves are unable to perform the moves these guys are doing so are unable to score the technical difficulty of differ...

Currently using

Gorilla grip - no issues
FCS - rips up the knee a bit
Famous - worst glue in the business use super glue to keep it on altho they have just moved to 3m so it may be better now
Blackline - too early to tell but so far so good

just spoke to Juzo the Creatures rep they don't make them anymore but he thinks palmers still do

so renting mine looks like a good option but it's now $15 a day

Creatures of Liesure make the foam slab mentioned above about $35 when I got mine (I think) not sure if they still make em or not.

I have one I can rent you for $10 a day if you're keen

lost my board on Sunday and had to swim in, have to admit I wasn't overly comfortable about the swim, not sure if Grazza's story was in the back of my mind and the waves were not that big. Made me think, when I look around the line up there are a lot of people who don't appear or look pyhsically fit...

2004 Liberty wagon, fuel consumption is fine, can fit a few boards (will be taking up to 5 on my easter trip) reliable although just out of warranty, drives nice but have been thinking about getting something else just not sure what, Territory maybe? 55kms on the clock Wanto could do you a rare deal...

No worries Clay, not a slanging match just opinions. Are you are CFO in a manufacturing company that manufacture in China? Margins made on boardies are no more than any other items. The manufacturer makes 100%, retailer 100% but you have to remember that is off a low base and out of that needs to co...

Its ok RV it's my abrupt attitude I know it but that was the tamed down version :D Perhaps they were examples but they were constantly repeated, things are not that cheap in China any more and I thought there were a lot of intelligent people with life experience on these forums who would understand ...

I have watched this thread with interest and to be honest have been horrified with what has been written. A Lot of people have commented on how the surf companies have created over crowding in the water but not one of you has said HOW they have done this, oh apart from MASS MARKETING. Funny thing is...

Hey Grazza heard the story this morning before you posted (you know what Froggys like :D ) Kudos for having a dig and glad you made it, even bigger kudos for writing about it here I watched it a bit before work and it didn't look that menacing (from the beach) except for those big sets every 15 minu...

Bookster its like this, back in the day Napolean was a surfer he was tired of the crappy banks in Hossegor so he diverted the Hossegor river to where it is now. But because it had been pouring out for a very long time further down the beach it created two deep seas trenches which is where La Nord br...

Actually from September on, I lived in Hossegor for a while and its like a switch is flicked, summer crowds go home, morning offshores lasts into the afternoon and the vans with German, Dutch etc numberplates start arriving in Hossegor. It is way cool I loved it

I will ask again since you all seem to be so knowledgable on the fact the big companies have increased people in the water.

Please tell me how they have done that?

SOME ONE!!!!!
