Alanis, is that you?

don't really school, but can be in packs.
The lady on Amity got bitten by about 3 different sharks, they reckon.
I've seen groups of about 5 in pupping grounds.

And I agree with Kookster, the quest for the one-board-quiver is not a good idea. How many of us have one board? I sold off a few last year pending a move, but I've still got 3 in regular rotation, plus the wife's, plus another kept at a mate's place, plus 3 of my brother's at my disposal. How many ...

I'd say the longevity of vehicles in Australia has got a fair bit to do with tightarse owners and lax emission standards. There are a heap of heaps on the road. Anyone who doesn't think that car industries in other countries are subsidised has got their head in their arse. Detroit? Seem to remember ...

Only Baja.
It's not safe to go through Tijuana at all anymore.

Nozawa Onsen is probably where I'll go next, if I go back to Japan. Though with a fluent relative living there, the options are a bit broader. I got chased by the patrollers with gloves, I think it was at Goryu. Could have been 47. We got our passes pulled, which was a bit of a problem because they ...

or at least it would if the legend fit on the screen...

Legion, from the previous chats, I think you'd like the Hakuba backcountry.
Exits are a bit tricky, but there are some amazing runs.

stay on the main island. snow isn't as good, but the terrain is better. I've been in Niseko (December) and Hakuba One and surrounds(Jan-March). That was in 2001-2, which was a record season at the time. I think it was about 14m. One weekend we had 17 feet of snow, the whole mountain shut down for 2 ...

My grandma lived in Banks St, then Brighton, now Monterey. The name has resonance for me because of that. He was the star of the Cook voyage. The work he did in identifying and classifying the flora and fauna of this new world has virtually no parallels in biology/botany. The Cook voyage was a scie...

I didn't say he was a prick, said he seemed a prick. I do actually understand that TV shows are edited...
I formed an opinion based on a TV show, you have better info, but that wasn't what I was responding to.
Your experience would suggest that he isn't.

Really? The Australian Story episode made him seem like a total prick.
Perhaps amazing as in what he's overcome, but a tosser.

Govt will never let car manufacturing or steel production totally die in this country, nor will the yanks or brits let the same happen there, both industries will always be kept going for strategic defense reasons, How does this work, exactly? "Julia, I just heard that Indonesia is invading NT! Wha...

I'm not really into cars, but the Breta is a fine piece.

there was one in Egypt a year or so ago.

It's all about usage, Dug.
Used to be women were 50X less likely to be killed. Now it's down to 15x.

I blame Valerie Taylor.

In fact I think a good reason Surftech's have gone almost extinct is because the weight of internet opinion started to infiltrate the mainstream and people realised they were being sold lemons. Thats one thing furniture makers etc etc don't have up their sleeve. Do you reckon people sitting on Ikea...

There's a snow ski that's very popular at the moment - the 4frnt Renegade. Most of the 4frnt line is made in Tunisia or somewhere, in some big factory that makes a tonne of skis for different companies (i.e. the China model). The Renegade is handmade by 4frnt's top sponsored athlete, Eric Hjorleifs...

fong there is only one surfing event in Australia with legally enforceable control over the surf zone and that's the Quiky Pro at Snapper...and that's only under strict guidelines. (between certain dates, at certain times of the day, etc) Who issues the permit, Nick? And under what law would it be ...

Spray on skin/ wound dressing
glue if you're stuck...boom tish.
Btw if you tear them it'll take longer to heal and scar
