Re: Have trouble getting into a chest zip wettie?

Got a back zip one with this flap that goes across where the zipper is like a hymen or something. Makes it extra complicated to put your leg into and you can get it caught under your shoulder blades if your not careful putting it on. Particularly if you put a key in the key loop. Nice when its on.

Re: Wavehogs and Pigdogs

Nice one spork. Turning on with the larger swell in 5.
Those mal riders in 4 need to do the odd cutback or two unlike the guy in 5.

Re: Looking for ideas for my new home-shaped board

Width and thickness of the tail can be a big issue. Think about tail rocker rather than nose rocker. A 6'6" wide fat board with a big tail is not going to work as a single fin unless you have a big fat fin to go with it. Better to go a little longer and sleaker. Just my thoughts on the subject. I me...

Re: Wavehogs and Pigdogs

That's what I am envious of spork. You obviously have the time and space to shoot some movies and put it together and make some wooden boards plus have it on display. Keep at it.

Re: Bong in big trouble

They were discussing it on 702 this morning. Basically covered what everyone has said on here.
I mean apart from the Mambo Phenomenon Bong still has some core business in the provision of quality actual surf equipment.
Back to basics.

Re: Wavehogs and Pigdogs

Nice texture shots spork. Who's the porker on the mal? My only minor criticism, if I may, and it is slight.....if you could get the figures in that very nice last shot slightly to the left or right rather than the center. Its funny all the contest ranting and all when the mood of being in the ocean ...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...

Anyone out there got an opinion of Quik wetsuits, in particular the quality of them these days? I'm looking at the Fuseflex & Cypher (both 3/2 steamers), but remember hearing a few years back that the quality was pretty shithouse. Got a cheap oz one. Very stretchy. I've actually gone down a size. A...

Re: Ask Carroll

Do you think the fantastic quality of free video footage available online has signaled the death knell of free videos with newsagent surf mags and/or surf mags themselves?
