^^^ Cool shot Trev.
Your equipment hasn't changed much in all that time

Or checked into that sudden death system after four events and discovered with some interest that the chances of a top 16 pro advancing into the next round are substantially LESS (around 50/50 compared with almost 70/30) in the sudden-death format? In other words: sudden death is a killer for the t...

Goes very well, heaps of space. Quick, comfortable, fast. Loves the south coast soft roads/tracks.

I see you have the turbo mr fancy pants.

Is the Quickscat measuring real-time wind direction and speed, or is it still a forecast? :wink: Old's - QuikSCAT is real time actual wind direction and speed at sea level (and about the best tool for swell forecasting available in my view). Great bit of technology :idea: . I don't exactly know how...

Didn't know where to put this.
Shot that caught my eye. Still from 'Still Filthy' on the Bong website. Shane Dorian at Tavarua. On top of his game.

^^^^ Surfin, have you contacted FCS ? Maybe it's not a huge deal for them to pull out the old mould and punch a few out? Might be a minimum number required to make a production run worthwhile but by the sound of it, there is a demand out there. Assume they would still have a master mould. Maybe if t...

I have always been interested in the Fireball Fish that Tom Curren rode and ripped on years back and was considering shaping one myself, then got a message from a fellow RSer ( cheers BF ) about this one on evil bay..I obviously got it and havent ridden it yet but it will happen any day now...The m...

No, a long time ago. It's Academic. Andy was the host. 60 was a big card score.

How can it not?

Long term implications on east coast surf quality by global warming for 60 please Andy.

ric - the duck is definitely no light weight, which is part of the reason for the 6'6". Sort of a step up board. Step up in size cause i'm getting older

IMG_0124.jpg IMG_0120.jpg IMG_0118.jpg ric - I'm always surprised by how little I know about things i think i should know a bit about, if you know what i mean. :D Bring on glassing 101. What's your interpretation of the text on the stringer: says "4x4 diag" ? I reckon 1 layer on deck. Hard to see i...

ric, huie et al I could be mistaken with the single layer + patches re deck glass mentioned earlier. Could be 2 layers of 4 oz plus patches on the deck but I'm not certain. Don't want to cast any doubts on the system used by Base for their performance sticks. Just looked at their site and it says 4x...

He's done his knee in and has cast a spell to stop any swell coming in while he is in recovery.

Iggy's a witch!

Let's burn him (and i don't mean drop-in)

Thufferwing thuckertasshhh !!!, ith tho hard to thay that without thpitting. Who effer theard of a duck thaking advithe from a thurtle

So it's your fault black duck. :roll: I'd better not go and order a new board then, otherwise the flat spell would be around till xmas. :oops: Guilty as charged Old's. :mrgreen: Don't have another board to sacrifice to Huey as compensation either :oops: :cry: Used to love torching an old board on t...

^^^ Agree, regardless of foot size it is a weird theory. What they need to do is get the rails right: Hard edge = lift, Soft edge = drag

Also an unfortunate time to get a new board as there is no surf to test it in :evil: , which happens to be exactly what I 've done. :oops: New board - No surf. No surf on the horizon either. Same as the surf always being crap just after you've seen a surf film. Spring time. Perfect conditions, No sw...
