Has anyone actually tried one of these Buell wetsuits? Any Reports on there durability? Have they been around long enough to know, has this been tested? They look as though they have alot of Panels, surely this means more places they can break? It has great review I'm jjust a little concerened it w...

not surprising, with your tribe. you'd have to sell a board just to get to Sydney.

Depends on the shape, more than the fins.
You could have a bonzer egg or a bonzer high performance shorty.

Some of those Aipas look sweet too.

Fong, are you sure you mean bonzers? Bonzers have some fairly specific bottom contours, you sure you don't mean widowmakers?

well, I just ordered a Radiator 1.5mm steamer, so I'll have some feedback soon.
A quick web search provided a 20% discount code, so it worked out pretty cheaply, they actually had a size that matches to my own, and I've been a big fan of titanium lined watergear before, so fingers crossed.

Take fit over model always . You just got to hope that the perfect fit for you happens to be the cheaper one and not $600 etc . I do, problem is they aren't always the same. I have a Peak springy ($) which is gold, fit RC vests and rashies ($$$) the best, and O'Neill steamers ($$$$) Olds, there is ...

Can't speak for the e-bombs, but I've got an Xcel Infiniti 3/2 back zip and it's way too hot for Sydney except in August/September. It's got that yellow fleecy stuff all the way to the knees on front and back.Makes a HUGE difference to the temperature, IMO. When I first got it the leg and arm seals ...

"FRANK SARTOR: Well - look, that's a good question. That's one that I agonised about many times. I had many ethical dilemmas about whether to resign or leave or whatever, but you take the view that you're part of a team and you're there for the long haul. There were times when I was Planning Ministe...

one of the funniest and most informative things I've read for a while, Womble.

all that rain's good for something.

ditch the cream, add some lemongrass and ginger fried in the pan with the garlic.
Tiny bit of soy, fish sauce and chilli sauce in the coconut milk. Not the sweet kind.

Do it.
I rode a bonzer in California, and my small wave board is a 2+1.
Considering the widowmaker for my current order, a good-wave board

You do know Andy Irons died, right?
And also that your questions on the Lickert scale at the end of the survey replicate some in the middle of the survey, and the inverse questions are therefore unnecessary?

doesn't luke short shape campbell bros boards under licence?

The breaking of the wave is fragile and fleeting, but lingers forever. Waves are things of beauty, not just when they break. they are lifted up by nothingness and fight valiantly against gravity, spreading and bending their way to their ultimate demise, their final act to transfer their energy selfl...

good posts....interesting this is how boards are valued second hand ( please note....a prawn brocker even with surf knowledge will stick with the scale...and keep the orginal M>R twinny for himself and put in on ebay for a grand after paying $25 for it) pretty much the same scale my brothers used w...

do you turn off your fin or off your rails?
If the former, shift it back and go big.
If the latter, shift it forward and go smaller with more rake.

And do what Fong said.

Definitely looking at Tahiti.... and Tonga, Somoa & Fiji. Keen to hear opinions on these places. Tonga is shallow, and fairly boring for non surfers. I'm just back from Fiji and didn't surf, conditions were average and the transfer on the boat was a killer (45-60 minutes from where I was). Better f...

The modelling done for the port expansion is apparently all dodgy too...
