Re: tips on rips for the beginners

Exhaustion seems like a more common culprit, and maybe not enough training on how to keep yourself comfortably afloat (e.g. lying on your back?). something that has always confused me is how when it is rippy conditions all over the beach or if a rip starts up in the flags the clubbies just seem to ...

Re: Door to Door Surfboard Delivery - Thoughts?

I can't see why it would not work in this day and age ... there are a whole stack of people like me who simply could not bring them selves to buy a board on line ... however there would be heaps of people who would be less particular about the finer detail of boards that would give it a go , plus pe...
