Dad did it for me, and now i dont do anything else except run
Yeah, maybe these October school hols. May even buy a little spring suit for the tacker. Needs a bit more confidence in the water, but there's only one way to get that.Pridmore esquire wrote:this is gettin way off the thread subject but surfing with my son is great fun, he did his firstreal floater yesterday and is starting to look for the barrell

T&C
It's actually got "The Buzz" written on the bottom.I thought that might have been who it was custom made for.I bought it for a backup board for a G-land trip but never rode anything but my 7'2 as it didnt get below 6' in 3 weeks I was there.Since then i've only ridden it when its bigger (few times a year).
