Re: sin9le concaves

think you might be on the wrong forum Natho, no one here knows squat about design :lol: I gave a mate a go who is a great surfer and is very good at picking up on technical aspects in a board.

Re: Realsurf Survey ripped off by NSW Tourism

not surprising really, there is very little budget for tourism research in Australia, the management bodies are all marketing agencies that know stuff all about their visitors.

Re: that wetsuit discussion...

Should have gone out earlier when it was offshore, but an unusual attack of conscientiousness saw me doing spreadsheets instead. You absolutely should have. From 9 to 1030 it was pretty special.
