Re: Indo...is it worth it

With that kind of ingenuity you can't go wrong BD. I'm surprised you've never taken a board.

Re: Indo...is it worth it

I could easy spend six months over there without surfing. The fact that there's waves is just the icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned but hey that's not everyone's cup of tea for sure. First time 1982 I went there it was the last place I'd been to in SE Asia. I ran into this group that was bas...

Re: Get this!

Spose it's obvious to point out that wobbliness contributes to humming. Had a carbon fibre fin in this Taka Mal I used to have. It used to hum a merry tune. Particularly on larger waves. A lot of fins need a bit of plastic down the side to firm them up. I use take away food lids.

Re: bali forecast

That sounds okay for a few east coast spots. Not really worried if its only 3-4 over there as its 3-4 bigger than what's been on offer around here. Not going to try to run around too much given the time but I might go a bit West mid week then decamp to the East Coast to finish up. This clarifies a f...

Re: surfrib

Welcome oldie. I have sore everything after too much surfing these days. Used to have fairly pronounced board bumps on my ribs.

You'll get plenty of surf ribs around this place.

Re: Indo...is it worth it

Had a big day at the North End years ago when I stayed with a few friends at the resorty thing on the way in. Good fun and there was more or less just a couple of us and a few locals but it wasn't Ulu.

Re: Drop in on Tony Abbott

Saw him having a feed après surf at Nth Stein after he was forced to come good on his commitment re: teaching a refugee to surf. I had wondered why the media was floating around.

To me he looks like he's about to drift over the back of the wave in that shot.

I didn't know sunstroke had black hair and made videos.
