Brazil... Men's Finals about to start and there must be at least 200 people on the beach.
Billabong must be stoked.

Re: Clearcoat Suggestions

Your first post after long-time-lurking and you ask a technical question :?
At least you could have had a go at Smmnnmtll, or jumped on the let's-all hate-tom-tom-and-his-shi.t-ugly-sig-gifs train.

Brand new 2012 e-bomb 3x2 for $360 arrived at my door an hour ago.

I placed the order on Sunday night too.

Groots, do you know why the suits at Dexter are so cheap? Are they last years models? Old stock? Warranty provided?

Re: The Reef: Crowd-funding request.

I know what you mean. Please surf that thing in some barrells.......first picked on an Indo trip. Not sure what fins you've got in it, but I reckon it could use a bit more base in the fin when surfing less than perfect waves. Yep - think you're right on that score. Had K2.1's in and i don't think t...

I am on the bus. Thanks for the tip BD. Got that Outer Island in hand yet? It's now finally ensconced on the sth coast. :mrgreen: Only had 1 short surf on it so far in smallish, crappola beach break waves, not in it's element. Felt kind of slightly spongy or springy, like having soft suspension. Ne...

Re: The Reef: Crowd-funding request.

Gossip Had dinner with some friends who know a couple of the people going on the trip. Beware the emotional discord that may be evident between the sexes. Could be some bad ju-ju on a long bus ride at close quarters between a couple of the participants. You can be thankful you're not on that bus SS....

Re: Surfin big waves is easier than

S/S - All that timber lying on the ground under the house can bring timber munchers quicker than you can say non-structural.
Be good to clear away around the stumps as well, clear line of sight between concrete pads and timber is good - jus sayin.

Anyone noticed the massive fetch that's been aiming at Tahiti? Ascat's been showing purple for the last couple of days. Chopes should be big, maybe real big.

have to admit to enjoying standing just off Rosies' side when the interviews are on..... :oops: Hope that camera doesn't pull out too far. Just off to the side, probably the best place to be Outsider. Still rather be Insider,eh Duck. all things considered, it's a no-brainer Boo :mrgreen: :!:

Re: Quiksilver Pro 2012

Confession
Far more interested in Rosie Hodge as an interviewer than anything the interviewee's generally have to say when she throws an ever so slightly tongue tied query at them. Cameramen should also realise the importance of panning back to include the interviewer as well as interviewee.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

I was down the coast at Manyana, watching two mates & one stranger gorging on long, fast, punchy, walling (occasionally barrelling) 4ft+ lefts. Was that out the front or back beach? Was meant to be there myself but other stuff got in the way. Didn't think the swell was going to get up to that size ...
