Re: skateboarding ...
Nice. Indy 169 trucks? What compound wheels did you go for? Not sure to be honest. It was a stock complete and this option seems to have dropped off their website (or maybe I can't find it). Pretty sure the wheels are 60mm and at the softer end of the spectrum, maybe 80a? You could really spend up ...

Re: skateboarding ...
After a lot of dicking around and indecision I went into Basement Skate with my son yesterday and got myself an early fathers' day present. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/BVEAAOSw3RtbTNqU/s-l500.jpg So many old and new shapes and styles to choose from, but I couldn't pass up the classic shapes and a...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Took my 7'6 hybrid out for a run at longy. First time since it's been reborn as a single fin. Too small to get a feel for it unfortunately

My son's skating obsession shows no sign of abating. By sheer chance the below skate comp was on right out front of the hotel we were staying in a Waikiki last week http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/videos/hell-of-a-paradise-2018-video/ Apart from watching some great skating I got to see the...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Waikiki hired a waterlogged 10 footer and joined the throng for a couple of hrs. Took a while to get a wave. I was too respectful and careful not to drop in. I soon realized dropping in is almost compulsory

Re: skateboarding ...
Presumably close to where you live there’s a snake run at north rocks. Your son (and you) would enjoy it. John Wearn Park, Cnr Balaka Drive & Farnell Avenue. Take a broom and a dustpan in case there’s sticks or junk in there. Open run you can roll into that winds and turns with banked walls you can...

Re: skateboarding ...
My 11 year old has got madly into skating. It's kinda nice because he's never really shown a passion for anything before. Now he constantly wants me to take him out to skate, and I'm starting to think about getting a little cruiser so I can go with him. I have a longboard/carver but I need something...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
^ agreed. there was something rideable at Collaroy but with a nipper carnival I couldn't get a fcuking park. Had a look at the corner at DY and was about to go home then grabbed a park. Paddled out at the point for my first surf there Small and fat but kinda fun for something different.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Longy was crowded too, plus some aggro in the water. Not bad but pretty all over the place when I went out. An hour later the crowd had backed off and it'd sorted itself out a bit. Decent albeit fat lefts and rights.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
There was dolphins? In that case you would be fine mate. I always figured they feed on similar fish so if there's dolphins there'd be sharks too. Do they bugger off when the dolphins are around? (I feel I should know more about this but to be honest I never really thought much about sharks until th...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
^^ Yeah thanks. It's actually coming up to a year ago things started going badly downhill, and didn't let up for about 4 months. I'm determined not to let it happen again

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Tuncurry breakwall huh! How do you like your sharks Ricky.?? Interesting you mention that. I was out there again this morning (lumpy and wind-affected). A couple of locals pointed out a chopper off to the north buzzing around. 'That's the shark-spotter'. There was a heap of birds and dolphins havin...

Got a few fun little peelers in the corner at Tuncurry breakwall this morning. Nice
