RealSurf Surfers' Forum

You're confused mate. And in a state of denial. Never thought I'd see the day when it becomes cool to come on a surf forum and say your not a surfer. Good show. I love the logic though. Great, I'll wait for my membership badge in the mail shall I ? I was doing Ballet with my 5 year old daughter in ...

I have never considered myself a surfer, Says the man writing on a surfing forum. I don't think posting on a surfing forum makes you a surfer. Neither does going to gerroa and spending 2 hrs in the kook school. And I don't really see my ability and engagement with the sport / past time / whatever q...

I have never considered myself a surfer, I doubt I ever will. Thus the culture is something I merely observe, I have no stake in it.

I guess I think more along the lines of gibberer, except I don't fall asleep in my food, but then I don't undertake drives of epic proportions either.

ya dun ride ya missus the same way all the time do ya ?

try the same with paddling ya board till ya tune it, yall soon find the sweet spot, cant say the same about the missus tho if ya give her the donkey punch !!!!

Your board is a 6'2".

How tall are ya if ya feets is on the tail when u are paddling ?????

Mate how long have you had your board for ? Did you really expect to be rippin it up from the get go ? Ya dun need lessons, them kook schools is all about giving pasty skinned poms the surfing experience, nowt to do with what you ultimatley want. Mindfullness - when you are in the surf have self awa...

Wahahahahaha, what a classic !!!

I'll bet you are one of the "everyone gets an award" generation.

If only the moose had a chance to speak to you before he kicked off.

It's all yours after this post, say what ya want ya'll get no reply from me coz there is no point. 1. Justice ? I guess the same principal applies to european cars as well.

If I ever catch up with that Happy Ripper fellow, I'll give him somthing to write home to mum about. I try not to get too wound up but when he gets under my skin, my chest hurts.

get some new material, you were on a roll there for a while

Just had a thought ghandi, why don't you head down to the billabong hq, stand in the foyer and hold ya breath till they change their wicked ways.

Ghandi or is it Numpty ? Personal experience - "it feels like the companies are closing down the exits as fast as we find them " - yes they are, I bought my last wettie on line from usa 3 years ago (its still going strong touch wood), ppl are only just realising it now and the surf cos are closing t...

boolcrap, al put ks board on hold while he made mine, its true I tells ya. End of the day the cost of a board from al merrick is controlled. What I'm pointing out is that people are pissed off over something that has been goin on forever, with more than just wetties. And I find that kinda amusing, n...

Anyone see the irony in complaining about surf companies restricting where you can buy their products, loving how cheap you can get them (cheap materials and labour)and the general claim about how important it is to support local shapers? Not irony at all- with wetsuits its the same product from th...

No worries Ghandi.

Scod, you're right, but that shouldn't stop people from demanding that the issue be addressed. Yeah, I buy stuff online. A snare that retails in Australia for $800+ delivered to my door for about $350. A Kitchenaid (240v) mixer that retails for about $700 delivered for about $370, and that's one he...

The ACCC ???????? They can't even stitch up woolies or coles for rorting us on food, grog, petrol and durries. How about the banks - can't touch em. Westsuits ??? Mate they couldnae give a rat's. And if they did they would never be able to prove it. Its not just surf companies, its heaps of industri...

Anyone know who blocks certain brands/products from certain territories? Is the Rip Curls etc. bringing their considerable weight down on these online retailers? Global market, my ar$e. Indeed it is. The surf companies - billabong, rip curl, etc etc determine where their product will be sold, who w...

A 2011 Billabong Solution SG5 4/3mm GBS C-Zip works out at $263 AUD delivered.. not too shabby not too shabby, unless you are inconvenienced by having things like shoulders, thighs, or any external genitals to speak of.. haha they're not that bad are they? I think it's time I upgrade my 5 year old ...
