Those midle aged blokes who ride in those ever growing Peletons on major roads are mad.

Thanks Beerfan appreciate

Dont think there is a recognised trade certificate for shaping, hence those words above ring true.

There was an article in SW on Pollard with Phil Bryne quoted giving him his due for channel shaping and the influence he had/has on Byrnes shaping, article featured a board with channels through the length of the board, funky looking. Couple of months ago the issue came out.

Thanks guys, hmmm might just get some floor sanding grade rough paper on the sanding disk, whack on the drill and start ploughing. Wish me luck.

I dont care as long as the surf report is accurate and informed. Like Monday "its pumping out there take a day off work....." should have been followed up with "anyone with a board from Direct wont be able to get out and if by some chance you do your toast and will never go back in the water". Peopl...

Guys can you recommend an alternative to the electric planner, any brand of hand plane?

Yep looking forward to Micks board. Yeah tons of hulls and stubbies at sixonce.....talk about a candy store. Neil Purchase Jr Snubbs look very good (2+1), and I have read his dad NP Snr makes an awesome Widow Maker. If anyone has a Russ Short Campbell Bros Bonzer would be keen to hear feedback as th...

Thanks Batoes, I'm getting a 2+1 made up by Mick Mackie in a similar outline and I saw a pictue on his site of a yellow bonzer (like yours) and said yeah I like that outline and he said yeah it was his and still gets ridden around Cronulla parts. Thanks for the feed back on it as well.

Have a Campbell Bros Bonzer 5 egg shaped by LSD. Quicksilver Manly have a ton of Bonzers but I've heard they may not be selling down the track. Look at http://www.surfysurfy.net there is some great bonzer Candy. The Egg I have is very fast down the line and flows the word. If you get a Campbell Bros...

Good point - I had a Hot Buttered that cost me $180 back in 1981 (exy back then), but really in relation to housing, cars et... they havent increased that much.

Sidenote - How much would you pay to have a board glassed?

Nice touch with the hand prints, I like it.

Happy Ripper has to be that Dino chap of years gone by. Come clean. Wheres Daryl anyway? Steve Shearer has a stalker " You cant ignore me Michael" (Fatal Attration)...anyway back to the ettiuette

Shame he's a good bloke to shoot the breeze with and he's gun passionate about the boards.

Didnt know that was Joel Tudors brand, it seems to be quite popular. I dont know many longboarders but they dont seem that image conscience but rather riding style conscience (and not a bad thing). Sidenote - Joel Tudor could ride a 2 ft board and look graceful (have a look at this Bonzer Egg riding...

But how cool are they in W.A.

Would anyone really care if the name West is on a wetsuit - plesae tell me its not so.

Been looking at bevelled rails (chined) all the way up to the nose. Apparently they help with hold and drive with boards that have 2 3/4 + vol. I noticed the Black Beauty has this type ot chined rail so i thought you may have given it a go, thinking about have a crack and was wondering......maybe I'...

Get in now to avoid dissappointment then
