I do Crank. And I expect you would not.

I just wanted to design and build stuff. The political back stabbing and internecine warfare amongst all the various players with their own vested interests at heart was a source of frustration and annoyance

This reemergence of the wave height thing is going to see a lot of ToTY nominations. Keep it up.

I tried to broker a peace between the waring camps by introducing a new measure, kilojoules, but that was a dismal failure.

In my past life that's the sort of situation that I would have been asked to analyse, resolve, and provide a detailed plan including costs and timelines. Then do it if we won the contract. Ah yes the world of RFP's, solution workshops, bid rooms, SOW's, cost scrubbing, client walkthroughs, hungry s...

God, no wonder you spend these days chilling out in indo :) One year in the early 90s I worked 365 days. What ...

Today was a repeat of yesterday. Out in the water by myself at dawn for an hour before a handful of other surfers arrived. Glassy conditions, 10 wave sets, step laddering from head and a half to double, sometimes more. 20 minute wait between sets. Low tide just about all day. Westerly swell so pret...

That reminds me of the time I fell off my board onto a shark. I should have made better story: get cements to interview me; fighting for my life; whole life passes through my mind; etc

Speaking of pretty as - my view a little while back, Mid sized day no one out except me

Nice

Surfs been pretty small for the last week and nothing solid on the horizon. Big contrast with the rest of the year so far when it was head to double and even bigger most of the time.

Where I surf south of home there are around 20-30 people I regularly surf with. There's a sense of community and around 10 are good friends. In Indonesia I tend to stay and surf in the one place for a decade at a time and end up with a pile of friends and acquaintances each time. When I surfed in Sy...

Well my day on the Bukit didn't work out at all: the unexpected swell yesterday morning with no other takers was infinitely better than today's no show

I don't think 3.5 million can mean 3.5 million separate people. At best, it is 3.5 million unique devices. If you check the WSL site on your phone, then pop into the site on your work computer, then later on your Ipad, you would be counted as 3 unique viewers. To add to the multiplication, are thes...

I can't tell the difference riding. But I can feel the difference in flex pushing at tip of the fin when its mounted on the board. But some of the epoxy fins have a thicker foil and these can be stiffer than a skinny foiled glass fin. I believe all the fcs "plastic" fins are epoxy and they are much ...

Thruster fish might be the answer

Go for a fifty fifty mix, we need some aspirational and some relatable

OK, and weight restrictions for surfers too. We want them svelte and glamorous
