Dunno, but you can get a key chain

All okay about trad construction techniques until your brand new custom starts denting, foam starts collapsing along the stringer, delaminating and generally being made so weak that you could squeeze your hand right through the board. I'm not talking backyard work here. We know the names. Its ridic...

have u ever exited the water after an horrendous kook session where almost every move you made was a shocker quote] Yes. Haven't done it for a while though. Have to say, your definition of 'kook session' is kinda like Tiger Woods (or Jason Day or whomever) complaining when they only shoot 1 under p...

Not sure about the nose rocker....the concave is there for those who want abit "of toes on the nose" action. For me at 48yrs of age, ive done very nose riding and am not about to start, so Grant just left the board with no nose concave. For what I want im sure it will suit me perfectly. That's why ...

After reading the posts on here I gave Grant Miller a call and now have a 7' Powerglide on order, without the nose concave. Cant wait to get this new baby in water! Doing my 2nd Maldives trip in 6 weeks (Lohi's) and cant wait to get these "longer" boards into some warm water perfection. Cheers. I h...

[quote="Dillinger"]I was confronted with the surf vs sex dilemma this morning. Always results in the same choice. Stayed home. :-D-:[/quote] The waves are always there and don't hold grudges. And in the surf 20 attempts = 15(+) successes; 20 attempts at home = 1(-) success. Got to play the odds. At ...

Wear a kid, especially if one has wife and kids. I'd probably be brown bread if i hadn't Not all of us have 11 kids allowing one spare to wear... btw, saw that video about you (posted somewhere else), very interesting. Was wondering whether you use the trees you grow in your yard for the boards, or...

Obviously if something extremely serious happens and causes immediate death then the crowds (or lack thereof) are irrelevant. But its the serious but not immediately life threatening injuries that would be the problem - say you were hit in the face and had a broken cheekbone, in agony and needing to...

my board speared me in the side of the head 20 yrs ago - perforated ear drum and a goat boater helped me out (no idea which way was up, sideways, whatever) - have wondered what may have happened if he didn't come along: I reckon if I wore a helmet - I have thought about it but the helmets all just ...

How many people have been smacked in the head by their own surfboard? Its never happened to me despite lots and lots of falls, but given that at least 1/4 time I have no idea where I am when falling, I certainly have little idea where my board is and there must be an element of luck involved (althou...

thanks so much nick. that was great. i didn't think the person was in much real danger, but he was panicking. doing the bronze medallion in a parramatta pool left out a few things...at least i didn't try to administer the hair tow! also check out http://www.surfingaustralia.com/event.php?id=666 (ha...

and really, i'm exactly the person you don't want to know about these places -- someone who is such a kook they don't already know these places. Me surfing one day listening: Jeff (imaginary name) "this is such a great place, I love how no one knows about it' Jim (other imaginary name) "mate, we ar...

Those moments a part of what makes surfing so great. Because while we were all out there competing for waves against each other, I know if it was me in trouble someone else would have helped me. My d!ck feels about 2 inches bigger today as a result. Having been rescued by a surfer myself many years...

That's a tricky one ctd I reckon longer term surfers just take their surfing mates for granted – well maybe not for granted but their presence in the water just seems a natural part of life. But as much as everyone goes on about wanting to surf with nobody else in the water, for most of us -- start...

[quote="Nick Carroll"]jeez I live a sheltered life check it out! http://www.sydneysurfdiary.com/[/quote] I'm guessing this thread proves your statement (to me) in the "ásk nick' thread: [i]But maybe the "people who enjoy surfing", happy, well-off, intelligent adults that they may be, ARE a bit furth...

[quote="Beanpole"]Actually been wondering about the take up of surf publications by these new surfers. I mean an adult wouldn't want to read most of the d*ck waving drivel in a lot of mags. [/quote] As a reasonably recent and mature beginner, I have no interest in the mainstream surf mags for many r...

Go for a Grant Miller
