Probably best just not to surf where large aggressive sharks are known to hang out. This is a simpler solution than paying $600 for a whacking great black thing of dubious power, strapping it to your right thigh, then leaping into a Nth Coast rivermouth at dusk. Bluebottle Shield, that's what I wann...

Re: Cheerio Crew
the Avalon Ski School will be holding learn to surf lessons every fortnight down at Avalon beach. Peace out, Davo Sorry Pal but you should have checked with Pittwater Council because it just so happens that I have the beach booked out for Merkins Malibu School for Habitual Re-offenders. We also hav...

If you define a scientific theory as one with predictive value, then you are absolutely right. The point I'd like to make is that it is the christian worldview that provided the foundation for scientific theory: that is, that the world follows rational rules because it had a rational creator.

Karma Schmarma, it's just the planet being itself. Humans get in the way and suddenly it's ALL ABOUT US. Not it's not. It's like the farcical "theory" of Intelligent Design -- just another way of putting human behaviour at the centre of things. We're not even a flea on the elephant's arsehole of the...

A few years ago I was surfing a pathetic little day at Rocky Pt in Hawaii, riding too big a board to keep my legs for Sunset. Fell off doing a floater, the board went straight down and stuck nose first into the sand, my right leg flipped over and landed directly on the back fin. The fin cut clean th...

prepare, you could get a board made wider and flatter-rockered to float and run better in small surf. But scroopy's right, it's gonna come down to technique and wave knowledge. I see a lot of surfers getting on Fish these days, hoping for a magic bullet. They float along OK, but in the end they're h...

Well, Wobbo, hope your research is now completed. The conclusions, based on the thread's evidence: a) Many experienced surfers think bodyboarding is farcical, believing it to be too easy, and thus morally inferior to standup surfing. b) Many bodyboarders resent this stance, but have little in the wa...

Hi Wobbo, you got an interesting thread going. As far as the "power structure" is concerned, I reckon anybody who thinks these companies should regard themselves as having a responsibility to develop all sides of the sport are having 'emselves on. Surfwear companies just don't think like that. They ...
