why inhibit yourself to doing manoevres that some people view as "traditional".. do what you want, when you want, how you want to in the surf.. isn't that the beauty of surfing? being free to express yourself how you see fit? did Nat Young stop progressing his surfing just because some people might ...

The thought of bloodied legs isn't that appealing. Maybe I'll give it a miss!! The water's cooling down now so the crowds wil start thinning. With the flags dropping as well Bondi will be a little more pleasant to surf soon. As will everywhere else mind you! you are kidding aren't you? the poms wil...

one of my old school mates lives at bondi - when i visit him, i don't even bother taking the board it is that crap ! don't forget about the backpackers, brazilians & liverpool sunday surfers either !!!!!! but then you can also get them at manly as well......except they're from baulkham hills, not li...

rockin' ron - i agree with you about the tail rocker, the flatter the tail the faster it will go. this is a design principle that Stuart Darcy implemeted when shaping POTTZ boards. but i unfortunately do not agree with the thickness in the tail. the larger off the shelf boards will have thickness ca...

The Chatswood skin cancer clinic, (9411 6199) has a Dee why branch. Make an appointment to see Dr Sean Walsh. He is great, not a butcher like so many others, puts you right at ease,+ he bulk bills. :D Good suggestion, spotty, I go there too - i usually get about 10 spots iced off my face, every 12 ...

i can sympathise with you philw, after spending the last 18 months struggling on my 6'3", especially the taking off late bit. but life is great now on my 6'5"...except i'm 34...5'10 and 89 kgs. a bit of thickness & width on a 6'3" should be alright for you @ 78kgs... i've never ridden a fish - is it...

DDI - you must be a bit green or wet behind the ears, or just born after 1988.... You know that main arterial road called Mona Vale Road ? it's in the gregory's... that has been the conduit for north shore beach goers migration to the peninsula for the last 30 - 40 years! when i first got a set of w...

Pottz has a good point here...and think of his physique when talking about volume in shortboards. He is not that tall, probably around 5'9'' or so, but is f@#$%g built as, massive shoulders & solid build. I am not as built as Pottz, but am definitely on the solid side, and am 5'10". During the early...

yeah vb, fcs has key holder, same size as oe, course both are useless to me with chunky car key, sticks out and very uncomfortable. i'll give the knighthood to the person who designs a small less chunky modern car key! if there is no electronic beeper or anything inside the plastic of the key - cut...

I'm the opposite - surfing has influenced my skating style. I skate a half-pipe with a true surfing style, with regards to weight distribution & turns. I can't get air, instead, I approach the coping at the top of the ramp like I would a nice lip - doin' a nice reo. I mainly skated driveways & stree...

if i was around 'back in the day' when you had those old-school single kick skateys and the like i could say a lot more about it influencing my surfing. iv seen old footage and the big round arcs they carve are inspirational CTT - if you want to check out some really old skoool video footage, get "...

nup, don't like 'em either!!!

I've surfed in sub zero conditions with snow on the beach but I was out this AM in a light st...
