Re: Probox Fin System

Any fin system that gives you dynamic adjustment is going to have huge merit.

Re: Paradise Lost for Aussie Surfboard Makers Amid China Imp

The feds put in a bit of support for the car industry. Maybe they could assist me in buying a 'product-of-aust' surfboard to replace the $620 four month old item I broke last week!

Re: Open debate. Why Sydney has most consistent surf

Its crowd factor over quality in this part of the world. Head north or south, surf lesser waves with fewer people. I'm happy with that.

Re: that wetsuit discussion...

How is it that the sealed 3/2 topline steamer from Oniell is 574 retail. The Ripcurl is 574 retail and the Billabong is 574 retail. These companies make the oil company cartel look like amateurs. I'll buy my next one in January before the new 'exactly the same' range arrives. You know its the truth.

Re: Billabong Pipeline Masters

I keep dropping out and have to wait a few mins or reset my cable router...Is that my Optus service *** it (CABLE) or the Billabong site? The wireless holds up ok - signal strength excellent.
And I agree about Occys cringe commentary but ya have to love an aussie dag and Occy is that!!

Re: swellnet vs coastalwatch vs realsurf

RS has been my Homepage for an eon. How long..back to when Don gave out a few kodak digital cameras. I have found no reason to change in all that time and have been at it long enough that I have a bank of URLs to scan if forecasting is required. Like passing the beach at every opportunity, its part ...

Re: Hayters

I have never had a prob with the dynamic lifter :shock: . I like the pellets coz they break down slower and I used to be able to get it in 40kg bags but cant find it around here these days. Not all the fam were so enamoured tho.

He is Brazillion isnt he #18? Surfs good but I wont be saying gday to a bloke on a minimal. One of the blokes in that pic was the artist who painted a Rubic Cube on the stormwater air outlet. Nice piece of work it is too.

Look at where your super is stored folks. If you have a conservative investment (or not) make sure your money is not in such juicy items as "enhanced cash" This does not mean 90 day bank bills....

In 1987 the Market dropped 50% in 3 days.
In 2008 the Market will have dropped 50% when it reaches about 3400.
