I've run it before but it's worthy of a repeat - Col Smith at Narra on a single fin.

With a channel bottom...

That is a timeless sequence... sick!

Where'd you hit Fong? Just N of surfclub there were some tasty shories while the tide was right ...

Not good hearing about Feral Dave. I never knew about that side of things... I've only heard that his quads aren't that good. The GC is a small place and it would be a shame for him to let his rep slip by saying stupid things like that. Thanks for the tips guys. I guess I'm looking for a quad "hybri...

http://www.ridershack.com/images/products/surf/surfboards/fish-surfboards/pavelspeedm.jpg This is an interview all about them: http://surfermag.com/features/onlineexclusives/pavelintrvu/ I'm really interested in hearing about experiences with these boards or if anyone in Oz is shaping a similar typ...

Seen guys jumping off Como railway bridge too. I did an abseil pendulum-swing thingy there many years ago. Nearly ripped my nuts off! I've heard stories of people jumping off Como bridge during low tide and getting their feet stuck in the mud once they hit the bottom... :?: Speaking of bridges, I a...

I got a mate who has been a surf instructor on the Goldy for the last few years and it's given me a good insight into what really goes on. It's no where near as glamorous as one may think. In a few years I've seen him 'age' really quick from the constant sun and salt exposure. Dealing with a big bun...

Wave starved heat... AI tried to be patient while Slater went anything that looked ridable. The tactic worked for Bobby Martinez in the earlier round but failed for Bobby, AI and Taj in the finals. Slater's a freak. Bede has been surfing unreal and had him had he not found a sneaky one over at Rinco...

RIP "The Boatshed"... A fun flat day alternative somewhere in the Sutherland Shire http://farm1.static.flickr.com/68/224212854_1b5bee73df.jpg In the Shire you've also got some big jumps at Audley (Jump over trees for the highest one) and Wattamolla Did Currumbin Rockpools on Sunday and there's a BIG...

Anyone fancy joining me plan, design, manufacture and market a sh1t load of environmentally friendly surfwax? Once we hit our objective of getting our environmentally friendly surfwax (EFS) into EVERY surf store in Oz. We will then move on to this network tempting them to stock further EFS products...

I hope Clipper and Laurie Towner make it to the CT as well...

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you Ric. Speaking of Webber... He was out at Granite this morning surfing one of his double concave, 'modern' fishes. He turned his board over to show some of the boys and even from 20m away, those concaves look so extreme. He was ripping and surfing pretty fast on the c...

Thanks for the info guys! From what I have heard and read, it appears as though once you make a board too big - it loses alot of its performance! I think that it is important to get a board to suit your experience and skill level.. rather than getting a larger size of a performance board. Does that...

I ride the HPR http://www.basesurfboards.com/bourton-hpr.htm , the board the Bat Quad is derived from. If it surfs better than the HPR (as Muzz claims it can), I'd have a go for sure. Being a 90kg, stocky build with average paddling skills; I love the HPR, it's a versatile board. I can surf it in kn...

To take off any wax remnants, I've always left my board out in the sun and gone over it with bunched-up newspaper.
Good way to absorb and the wax without adding any chemicals to the deck.

Overall I liked Sean Doherty and Blakey the best.
I don't think non-australians would get half the stuff they are talking about. Pretty funny with the lingo hehe

i think Bede is going to take it...
