In the military someone with a hyphonated name such as John Smith-Jones will generally cop the nick name "2 dads"
In my view this is what you need to think about when naming a child, can the quaint name you have chosen be translated to "Please Taunt Me"

Leave something behind a Bondi this morning?

Found a wettie in the top carpark this morning at 0710, get back to me with a description if you want it back.
I know what you look like so those less than scrupulous amongst us need not apply.

Mark Richards.

Great service, Mark takes the time to understand your needs and wants.
His boards have a great glass job making them very durable.
And they perform precisely as described. I'll be back for another.

C*O*L Before the twist top tallie (which hasn't been around for long anyway) Coopers came in a Pickaxe Brand crown seal bottle which was ...

If you are riding a mal or gun, you want the leash as long as possible. Generally shorter the board/smaller the surf the shorter the leg rope. I think that's right. Thanks uther, I'm after a bit more detail, something like "the length of your board plus 6 inches per foot of swell" or something alon...

Leggie Length

For a shortboard, what is the ideal length of leg rope, and why? I know it depends on the conditions and board length, but what is the rule of thumb?

Ok, firstly people should respect other peoples property and not rip it off, but welcome to planet earth people, if you hide your car key in your towel or in a hidey hole under the car you deserve a smack in the head along with whatever else happens. How infinitely stupid can you be???

Twice in 2 weeks I copped a nose in the forearm, once in each arm. The second effort needed stitches for me and a fair bit of repair work for the other guys board. Nose guards are a great idea or a short 10mm blunt section like on my MR Big Guy board works as well.
