you see the new media rules? You can't take video or photo unless you sign over all images to the asp? Got told security will actively be shutting down photogs without accreditation taking photos. Signage will be put up banning all images & film being taken by punters. Unenforceable claptrap and qu...

Long as you're prepared to watch those generous perks that come with the academic life getting smaller in the rear view mirror you'll be fine Clif.

Re: QuikPro Forey

Re: QuikPro Forey

I was feeling that way a couple of weeks ago. Dane's getting fat, we're all sliding down the razors edge of mortality towards obliteration. Dust to dust. But somehow, hope keeps springing eternal, against all evidence to the contrary. It'll only take one wave to refill the well. Surely he's got that...

Re: Ask Carroll

yeah, I filmed him when he was aspiring to be a Pro.....his style had none of that.

It's hard not to think he added it on later to complete the look.

Anyway, loved the change from inside to outside rail grab under the hook at Deserts. That was class. Bit of JJF style.

Re: Ask Carroll

really nice but why oh why does it have to be done with all the spastic-look at moi-seventies aping-hand jive over exaggerations?

Good luck to Ellis though, he's building a career out of it.

Re: Summer 2013-'14

No, serious Braithy..I always held to this fantasy that Climate Change would deliver copious ten foot days at the Point so it wouldn't matter so much if we left an uninhabitable planet for our kids.

Now the awful realisation has dawned. Climate Change means a never ending Spring.

Re: Ask Carroll

yeah, but I reckon he was dead wrong on that. And a lot of cradle to grave sponno surfers are clueless about board design. They can surf at a very high level but don't have a clue what does what and why. Take Hog for eg: it was obvious the slingshot was coming from the lift generated during those e...

Re: Ask Carroll

Sorry Karlos but the average Joe is just not as good copy as an ex pro or aspiring pro.

there's no money in it.

But it would make way more sense as far as an actual credible board test goes.
