Nice

“The Amsterdam Wetsuits Long Arm Spring mixes smooth skin, shark skin and superstretch to bring a beautifully minimalistic looking, but complex wetsuit.”


I’m deeply in love with my wetsuit however, it’s complex.

You’d think I’d get some thanks for saving Steve 250 bucks but, no. Just another shift of the goalposts

That's up there with the launch of The Swiss Grand Hotel at Bondi that featured the Amadeus Room. A European themed restaurant with waiters dressed like Amadeus....powdered wigs, satin breeches, long hose, etc.

if you've got the disposable and an uncommonly shaped physique, then why not?

I’ve not heard of a more luxurious surfing item. It’s the plastic tit of surfing apparel.

Sorry to hear about your weird shaped body. Can’t be easy. Respect.

I bought a nice secondhand 6'6" at the Midtown Surf Shop in Santa Cruz today. Generously volumed for my solid frame. Round tail so it'll suit nice drawn out turns - never been one for the snappy pro-surfer shit as I find it exhausting and, if I'm being really honest, I suck at it!

Nice fella I bought it off threw in fins, a leash, two blocks of wax and even a nice cup of coffee (which was quite good by American standards)

No swell today but I might give it a go on Friday if it improves....

Story goes they wanted to name the town after the founding father but he was too modest to accept it.....hence the name. American Graffiti was shot there.
