some swaylocks scuttlebutt - in east coast US there is a chain shop owner who ships various well known /popular models to china and has them copied, with labels from old 60's and 70's companies gone bust and resurrected on them. apparently they are getting very good at making close copies that is ve...

Correct shark procedure is; 1 - Confirm its not a dolphin 2 - Start paddling in an orderly fashion. 3 - Start yelling when you are 20 metres further in than everybody else. 4 - Continue paddling even faster until you hit the sand. Run 20 meters just in case 5 - Change jocks 6 - As time goes on the 4...

i heard a story where some guys had caught a bronze whaler about 2.5m long and 300 lb. they had it tied at the back of the boat when suddenly a great white popped up and swallowed it WHOLE! They estimated the beast to be approx. 18 feet long, 5 feet across the head and upwards of 2 tons. Ans this wa...

the weekend just gone was a classic example of the right equipment. had a real fun surf on my keel fish on saturday, but yesterday was too small for even that. saw an old digger get some real nice knee high rides on a log at curly yesterday arvo, had a peak (albeit tiny) to himself, while i was just...

IMO the way to go is; 1- get a shaper to make wot suits you. give feedback over time and refine wot u like 2 - to last longer get a decent glass job (with a deck patch, and full rail laps) on them. many off the racks boards i have fondled are crazy light - is this for performance or to get u back to...

a mate of mine just got back from samoa..

he said it was really boring.. nothing to do but go surfing and drink beer

sounds crap eh?

oops.........forgot bonzers, stub vectors and discs.

at a rough guess for your weight

5'8" * 20.5" or 21" * 2,3/8 or 2.5"

might sound a lot but they are meant to have heaps of width and volume

check the design thread for a bunch of names as to who shapes them

good luck!

maybe there should be a division called, 'open minded people who surf all sorts of equipment such as logs, fish, thrusters, eggs etc, to suit different conditions and moods'

yep - food things sitting around for a while in hot climates go south very quickly

reminds me of some fish markets i have seen in PNG, Fiji and the Maldives

i have had this 'problem' before

it may not be the fins so much but if the particular board has deep concave or accentuated rocker (or a combo of these two) around the fin area than it cannot sit completely flush as the fin base is made flat

no biggy IMO

a reasonable rule of thumb is if the food is freshly cooked it will be OK

if it looks like its been sitting around for a while then avoid it

yesterday..crowded curl curl..four idiot mates on mini mals, sitting together in a pack, taking off/falling off everytime routine, then when a clean up comes they ALL chuck their boards causing all sorts of chaos...tests ones patience!!!!

...apart from the right equipment ( a banksy will do nicely), and total commitment, set your eyes and the rest will follow..
