I heard on the ABC this morning that Bennett Surfboards of Brookvale was commissioned by Tony Abbott to create a custom board for Barack Obama and with just 7 days notice.
It is a 9'6" mal with a custom Air Force One design and must have cost a fortune.
However IMO it is an uncharacteristically clever move by Abbott: Obama surfs (bodysurfing at least), was born in Hawaii, and Bennett Surfboards are in Abbott's electorate and what better iconically Australian present than a surfboard (beats a stuffed toy koala). Proves that even the crappiest politician can make one good decision.
I can visualise Obama getting top-security surfing lessons in the gentle and uncrowded (!) Waikiki waves.
Bennett's board for Barack !

What a great way to conceal a listening device.

I heard Tony gave it to him "Just in case he (Obama) was right about climate change."

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
