Re: Magnesium ... good for ya health?
Super skeptic me will be on this shit soon. I keep waking up about an hour before I want/need to. Mrs recently read some mumbo jumbo about what ails you is related to time of not sleeping. Tried to tell me I drank too much alcohol. WRONG - that would have me awake at about 1 am apparently. Loving th...

Re: Check out Chenggong
Ots, you are a legend. Thanks for taking the time. I'm in the same sort of boat you were. Wouldn't be an exclusive surf trip and my missus is pretty tough when it comes to roughing it, so the odd hard matress here and there is no drama. Good to learn they're all natural footers because I'm a goofy t...

Interview with parko seemed he was very relaxed about the whole thing. NC mentioned a change in him a few months back. Wouldn't be writing him off just yet

Re: Rescuing people
Don't know about that. Compression is specifically located and I think it would do very little for gas exchange across the lung membrane (O2 in and CO2 out). I could be wrong The level 2 course does teach that compression is more important than rescue breathing, but the breathing is still required t...

Re: Rescuing people
In Hatchy's neck of the woods, some clubbies could be cnuts to the surfers. Flags in front of best bank, inflatable through the line-up. Was still happening in 1995 when I left there Inflatable thing happens where I am now sometimes too, but I think they know not what they do. Just ignorance which i...

Re: Josh Dowling Designs
Another great looking board, that Sinistral. I see a surgeon tomorrow about my knee. Hopefully he fixes it soon and I can get back in the surf. Meantime, I have a mate riding one of my boards in the hope he'll want to buy it. When/if he does, I'm getting in touch with JD Like the name. Left handed, ...

Anyone see 4 Corners last night? Rise of the Superbugs. Like I said last week, there's serious shit to deal with and it's happening now
No mag reports for awhile. How's it going?

Re: Could you swim 1km?
Being a competent swimmer since I was a kid,I had always thought regular surfing was enough that I could swim reasonable distances if required. A few years ago I started swim training for a series of ocean swims they have over here each summer. 1st day in the pool was a real eye opener. I could not ...

Re: Check out Chenggong
Very comprehensive, slowman, thanks for taking the time. Almost feel guilty if I don't end up going, but it seems like it's more than worthy of the effort. Channels also sent me a pm with a bit of info, so I'll publicly thank him whilst I'm at it

Re: Tandem Surfing.
A friend's 8 yo daughter wants me to teach her to surf. Need to get hold of something long so I can start her off tandemly. She's lithe and well coordinated so she'll go alright. When she's on tour, maybe I can tag along and caddy for her American Thighs still gets played semi regularly at our house...

Re: Maldives surf trip...
Good photos there, spork. Makes me wish I was there. Ok in August, but smallish swell meant too many boats around cokes and chickens. Any of them shots you?

Re: FFW - Wingnut's Backyard Boards
Honestly mate, I admire you and everyone else who has a crack at it Had a mate who made boards when we were teenagers. He was getting good at it and then fcuked up his life with drugs. He's dead now. I used to do filler/finish coats for him. I'd watch a bit of the shaping and glassing so I have an g...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
All sand cliffs will slump as they dry out, as a rule of thumb they collapse to 1.5 times the height of the scarp. The angle of repose of dry sand is something like 35 degrees, the angle of wet (but not saturated) sand is something like 120. Think about making a sandcastle, moist sand will stand up...

Re: Check out Chenggong
There's talk among some mates of maybe going next year. Any little bits of info re costs, where to stay, must dos, etc. would be greatly appreciated. If I go, my wife will too so it'd be more than just a surf trip for me. Would travel lightly so maybe just 1 board for ease of getting around

Re: should occky be strip of his world crown?
I've previously referred to a mate who was a pro rider in Belgium for several years. He tells me that at the start of some team training races they'd all be on so much juice they'd be shaking. He also has a book (by Philippe Gaumont I think) that shows diary entries of drug taking. Frightening amounts
