Ah, you're a soft touch, Fong. Warms my heart.

Thought you were broke, Braithy, hence the offloading of boards?

Rates are based on unimproved value of land so its hard to see how the size and cost of your neighbours pad would have a substantial effect on your rates. Is this australian legislation? ie can individual councils add or subtract to rates as they see fit? RD was adamant, the recent building of the ...

Managed to get 'spavined' into another post, Nick. Dahlberg told me Gordon's mansion was the tipping point in land rates for the area to explode. Sorry Braithy, but in the valuation process it would be regarded as an outlier. Won't have any impact on general rates. The amount (% wise) of rates incre...

That masterplan won an architectural design award, Nick, for "demonstrated care in addressing the needs and aspirations for an iconic coastal site that experiences infrequent heavy public use and witnesses excessive coastal exposure."

I just assumed that Bong was being stalked by a heap of retired army heroes.

doesn't seem to work on most of the forum, though.

how?

Hello everyone, I am a nasty minded middle aged surfer and I am currently doing a study of a study that studied University students who do hopelessly unscientific surveymonkey studies into subjects that have a considerable history of other studies based on slightly more scientific surveys. So where...

these oceanic orbs of potential Orbs Boo? Sure tits=orbs. But waves? Aren't they more elliptical in the breaking pattern and sine-like in the open ocean? Ocean waves are orbital waves, the particles (at the surface) form an almost perfect circle. http://whatonearth.olehnielsen.dk/img/wavepro%5Bagat...

the second skin one will definitely need venting. You'll get vapour pressure from any water left in the heat.

Funny stuff AJ. Generally I think about the enormity of the universe, and the improbable and fortuitous series of events that allow me to have the time, resources and ability to participate in one of the few activities in life where your simple exertions are rewarded with undeserved lashings of seem...

The main bloke in that company (Santa Monica something) died suddenly, Nick. Seems to be a few rushing to fill the gap. There're still a few floating around in warehouses etc.

of all the drugs, why speed?

I'm with Steve on that point.
In peaky, not super sucky, a frame beachies and bowling Indo like waves, I'd have a foiled thruster.
Anything else, quad or single/2+1 for me.

Steve: So how does the total volume you're riding now compare to the total volume you were riding when your learnt your skills? I'm kind of doing the same wrt lowering volume. Though I went short and higher volume first, now I'm foiling. My everyday board is a 5'10", I'm a bit taller than you and we...

I grew up surfing thrusters and he grew up on logs and fish and retro fish with huge amounts of volume. Probably not surprising the most performance board in his quiver is now a roundtail quad I think that's the most important thing you've said. I'd be interested to know how many people grew up on ...

I reckon you've got a shot with the car based traveller. Plane travellers I'm not so sure. If it's going to be roof/tray mountable, make it so that you can detach it from the roof without taking everything out of it, so that you could drive into the garage, attach some clips and lift it straight up ...

heard that in F u k u shima they've got signs printed by Surfrider that say
"Beach closed. For 10 000 years."
