there's relatively limited use of the forums over the weekend (could it be a lot of our regulars only use them to skive off work during the week?).
You might consider letting the nominations run for another week.
But, entirely your call.
In this particular case, yes

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Smallish on the w'end but a couple of swell magnets for 3-4 foot both days. Sat - good sandbank with reef base. Only thing wrong it was a right and for a goofy I've been getting way to many of them recently. Sunday cranking lefts. Top to bottom. Shared it with 2 guys for 1/2 an hour and then had it ...

Re: Reckon its possible to over surf?

Braithy has become a southerner. Take it when you can for as long as you can I also hate daylight savings, but this is a relatively recent thing. My work life balance until a couple of years ago mostly allowed me to get in the water whenever I wanted. The clock wasn't much of an issue so long as I g...

Never suspected might get mrs swvic hair in and beyond my ring :shock: Should've guessed though. Hairdresser friend gets hair from customers burrowing into her skin. Good reason to not be a hairdresser

Re: Are you people getting fat and grey ????

Pretty much same as Odd aP, but feck me, I'm 49, weigh around 75 kg and, if not for the shoulder and osteoarthritic wrist, I'd feel alot younger As for short-haired women, my wife had short hair when I met her and I liked it. She's never had it short since and it's a wild mane of a thing. Find the s...

Re: Josh Dowling Designs

Believe it not, olds. Amorphous solid or supercooled liquid, there is still some debate, but the windows sagging thing is bunkum. Due to manufacturing methods or acid rain, and over centuries not decades. I'm not totally convinced about acid rain damaging glass. Concentrated acids come (mostly) in ...

Re: tomo next gen rip off - review

nice. pointy nose in around the same size as yours but a tad thicker is next on my hit list. Couldn't pass it up. Scored it from axolotl reflux via RS. Too much of a bargain and it sort of takes me back to what a mate used to shape way back in the late 70s when we were teenagers. Similar(ish) outli...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...

For what it's worth, I'm going into my 4th year in a Rip Curl 4/3. Top of range at the time. I look after it reasonably well. Due to work and the cold water, I probably don't surf as much as most of you living north of here

Re: PADDLEBOARDERS ARE ALL @&#%s...NO EXCEPTIONS!

There is/was an older bloke rode a goat-boat at Pines down Hatchy's way. He had one leg (behind his back, we called him Pegleg). Was a nice bloke. Sharing happily reciprocated. Surfers believed he had a valid reason and he wasn't a prick. Used to paddle his crutches out and attach them to a buoy wid...
