Re: McTavish Surfboard Voucher.
Steve ... is it like transferable ... could one use it up the road at say Michael Cundith's or zip around the corner and redeem it for one of David Parkes masterful creations. They ... being Michael or Dave ... could then pop around to Bob and swap it back for the cash.

Re: Epoxy Mals
I think you chaps may find the issue is not the epoxy as such. It's the EPS foam often used under the epoxy. That is what is giving you more float and making the board surf on top of the water too much. This foam is typically used in Tuflites and similar. If you get a custom EPS/ Epoxy then your sh...

Re: Epoxy Mals
The trouble and strife purchased an epoxy Takayama noserider sometime back. She didn't like it ... I rode it to see what the issue was ... and yes ... it lacked momentum and was as corky as all fcuk.

Re: Ask Carroll
I noticed the use of two type faces in this new book ... did you each get to choose your own ... or did the publisher not allow such freedom. Was comic sans ever a consideration. Its not a cheap read at thirty five clams ... but not as expensive as Timmy Winton's latest work ... in fact its ten buck...

I dunno.... I see where shearer is coming from.

Nothing has come half as close as that. What not even Dirk Von Ziffolator playing lead guitar for Carly Simon ... now there's some epicicity if ever there was.
