Seem to be a lot of long boarders here.

I've got a 7'6 NSP mini-mal in the shed that I lend to mates just starting out.

Would that fit your idea of an acceptable surf craft for the masses?

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing.

Would a fitball have the same volume as a standard thruster?

I don't think I have noticed a single person post here yet who actually likes/rides them as a regular board. If anyone here does, why did you/would you choose this board over another shortboard? Interested to hear the reasons, whatever they are... OK I'll put my fcuking hand up here. **puts on hard...

Nick: is this behavior weird? Is it a Hawaiian thing? Is it because he's bald? Homo?

Nick: during the Bells pro I saw Slater lift up the leg of his wettie to strap his leg rope around his bare ankle.

I just wrap mine around the wettie. Who is right? Me or Kelly?

I've never been to Bells but was watching the web cast... Is it really as flat faced/fat as it appears? I get the impression that if Bells was in Sydney it would never be surfed by shortboarders as it would be dominated by 100 mals. Yes it is and yes they do. Winki is always the better option and a...
