Yeah, mainly 4 but I'm buying my first set of thruster fins in 8 years as I'm told it will go better as a thruster when it's a bit wild and choppy.

At this stage I'll have to build up to it Duck, due to minimal time in the water over the last 2 years, but that's behind me now I'm settled at last.
I'll use it anyway on days I would have surfed my 6'7" just for the paddling advantage being an old fella and it's not uber gunny at 19 3/4"

Like you I needed a name change, everyone knows me as crustty round my coast so I needed throw them off the scent a bit :lol: I came to the realization the other night, I was half pissed and I posted a picture of a chick that was booked at our place, someone mentioned current affair and it got me thinking of the legal side of things, also the moral side as it was a bit stupid to put the poor girls photo on the net, so I took it down and got Trev to change my name.

Nice board, used to hate Gravelles boards but the last 10 years he's been constantly making good boards.

kayu by that logic, "Australia" would barely exist. Its corollary is this: Every country should support its own raw materials production before supporting the raw materials production of another country. This would have doomed pretty much the entire postwar Australian economy, along with fcuking up Japan's and Germany's post-war recoveries, the UK's (albeit slower) recovery, and China's modernisation, which has driven Western consumer economies for over 20 years.

Australian board makers are doing well these days because they responded so well to the challenge posed by Asian sourced imports. The imports asked a question via the customer base, and the board makers -- via pressure on blank makers and other materials suppliers, via improvements in their own manufacturing methods, and via selective embrace of modern sales technologies -- answered "yes".

Along with their own skills, they are using machinery made in Asia and Germany, materials sourced from foreign petroleum derivers, cad cutting software written in Pakistan and India, and a fair few of them are employing kids on student visas from Europe and Japan. They are also selling boards and IP in a range of nations worldwide.

The world works better when everyone's involved. We can't really go backward on that.

Or Trump.

Trade is about comparative advantage and the capital inflows and outflows that support the bid prices for the traded currency. That is to say it's better buying some products and services from other countries.

Yeah but none of it really makes any environmental sense, does it? How can you buy a can of Italian tinned tomatoes (unrinsed) at Coles for $1.20? How the fcuk does the economics add up when you have to grow them in Italy, feed them, spray them, pick them, send them, design the labels, can them in metal containers, truck them, then ship them across the world, truck them again, distribute them, shelve them and then sell them for $1.20???
The real costs are embedded in other things or there is exploitation to the detriment of producers or the environment. Economies of scale don't play enough of a factor to justify the prices we pay for stuff. It doesn't fcuking add up. and to think after all that that Sments pours half of it down the sink.

Probably because the tomatoes are picked by Syrian immigrants, tinned in Albania and sit on cargo ships for 6 months and we sell discounted wool to the Iti's for Italian fashion. All supported by a trade weighted index and determined by currency strength and weakness.

Are you suggesting goods should incur a tariff for not meeting certain environmental standards or targets?

GDP figures out today. Possibly the first recession since 1991.

Nah it won't be.

No there shouldn't be tariffs, but there also should be consideration of externalities and no subsidies.
