The one that chats to the kid with the green fish. Often her, him and the mal riding champ (from what Ive heard) have chats out the back as they pounce on set after set after set :P .

Havnt been for a surf in a while but when I used to, i usually surfed with a yellow 'shane' mini mal. Longish hair, white boardies.

Saw this amazing looking dark haired girl wearing one on the weekend, went to another beach the next day and this middle-aged woman was wearing one. What are the guys ones called?

No way :lol: Saw this guy 2 weeks ago with a Leo Sayer type hair-cut, riding (attempting anyway) a mal, dropping in on a couple of guys who would give you a serve for doing so, and to top it off he was wearing pink speedos with budgy smuglers on the back, and he must have been cold.
He looked a bit like this without the mullet gone wrong Image

That promo shot makes them look like the x-men or something, chuck chunder in the 23 century :D :D :D
If it works it has to look better than a hood.

As far as surfers ear goes do people who have it find that it tends to pop up in the ear on the same side as your back foot?
I know mine was heaps worse in that one and I figured it was from the constant pounding it got in wipe outs :x

They've been around for a while but are new to Aus, there was/is another product more for kiddies. Basically it's a headband that holds in ear plugs, but it doesn't work. This girl's one I tried seemed to work quite well. It felt a bit like wearing a stubbie holder on the head, but cut that wind whistle right out. You can get a bit of water in when duck-diving but you can flick it out quite easily. My ears are stuffed from years of drumming and seeing live bands, so I decided to order one as they look better than hoods and feel better than plugs or bluetack.

Took a pic of the muff I tried last week

I like the rashie :shock:
Wasn't me :cry:

:D Since about 2001. :roll: The other headband thingies apparantly fall off when you go in the water or jump in a pool. These have a strap to allow you to get pounded a little and mine stayed on through some major poundings today. :P

Saw something called Earbandits at an aquatic centre I was working at this arvo, I think they're the ones that slip off when you dive in the pool. No good for surfing then I assume. The girl wasn't interested in selling them, said they had to display them for another month, then was sending them all back???
