How do you know the Fijian govt wanted 5 mill Loof?

Because he's got a global reach you could only dream about.

No no no no no

The truth is, Drailed grew up in the same street as Sophie Goldschmidt.

This was back in the Mother Country where the two poppets were just three doors apart in a mildly exclusive area of Holland Park. At six years of age they frolicked together with the neighbouring children under the benign yet watchful eye of Drailed's family retainer, "Uncle Philip". (Needless to say, he was nobody's uncle, rather a dubious colleague of Drailed's paternal grandfather who lived off a sizeable inheritance and kept a range of naughty magazines under the bed.)

Anyway you can guess what occurred, by the age of 10, puppy love had bloomed between the two. But it was never to be. Both the children were swiftly shuttled off to relatively expensive boarding schools by their irritated parents. They stayed in touch by mailing each other copies of their favourite books: CS Lewis's Narnia series, "Under The Faraway Tree" and the like.

Anyway Sophie grew up and became a pro tennis player and super effective sports executive and forgot all about Drailed, But Drailed did not forget and when she took up with the WSL, he began emailing her late at night. Sadly the emails were diverted to an entirely different Sophie Goldschmidt, a rather sarcastic 48 year old divorcee from Clacton-on-Sea who began emailing back out of a perverted sense of amusement.

Yes, truth is stranger than fiction

Hahaha, see how bitchy Nick is getting after I called out his shitty rail work.

Hell hath no fury like the second best surfer in a family scorned.

Haven’t you read the book?
Nick was the best but he stepped aside so Tommy could have the title

well I just figured if you could make stuff up about knowing someone who works for the WSL telling you the Fiji govt wanted $5m to permit the CT at Cloudbreak, then I could make some stuff up too!

Got the Pyzel Ghost in hand.

That's not a new nickname for your penis is it Steve?

Well congratulations. Hope some of that swell you were looking forward to is around.

JJF sig fin is good though. I don't like the Rob Machado's much - too stiff. Haven't tried many other futures.
I have futures set of these not in use that you can try until you get something else though. I like them.

Also Shapers have 3 templates of all glass fins in futures that could be worth a look. THey're called core series or something.
