Okayyy. So taj rips at perfect J bay so therefore if you buy the same type as board as him then you'll rip too. Hey mate, I can see exactly where your coming from, BUT the FIREWIRE Taj rode in Bells and Jbay (who has had trouble beating Kelly before, as well as winning finals) definately had some e...

"Inside the toilets the young person struck up a conversation with the deceased and they both drank cans of Tooheys New beer," the facts state. The teenager and Mr Fleming walked around for about 45 minutes between the toilets and to a nearby basketball court before bad weather forced them to seek ...

These carbon fibre or just black painted wood?

I knew someone would ask this. They were sprayed rails, not that gay carbon crap haha.

Wood is good.

Swift, i totally back those comments.

The weight feels the same as a standard foam performance light blank.

Rode a 5'11" in fun waves about head high and the thing blew up. Plus your not constantly worried about putting compressions in the board when going big.

I do think Chilli's are hot property at the moment- the rails, the light blanks and the glassing with an all round excellent 'feeling' make me want to ride one above alot of other high performance shapes. With the fire wire, should we call it a WEST Australian influenced board by any chance? Because...

why is it that every thing from SoCal is so cool???????????? i dont get why you would want to ride an S deck I know they appear not to be functional, but they do have a niche (even if it aint a very versatile one) and that is that they can be surfed in and out of the pocket and rolled around in pla...

nice board... what kind of fin set-up do you use in it...? looks like a normal thruster set-up... have you tried it with a big centre fin or as a single? i reckon it'd be with a nice big raked greenough flex fin for a bit of spring. exactly what was thinking- or a rakey dolphin fin (not so flexy) w...

maintain some control Who needs control :D be a crowd disperser. OK, I’m with LG & W, ’cept I don’t think it HAS to be all traditional. Bit of a grey area if you ask me, a few people have a nice blend of both In regards to traditional style of longboard riding, i dont nessecarily like how it has be...

The Tom Carroll Quiksilver shop at Mona Vale and Manly Board store stock them now. Pretty tasty shapes. Rode a demo 5'11" and for me, it went well and seemed to be all it was cracked up to be.

I disagree. Longboarding is a versatile art and should not be restricted by any means...except to the extent where the classic style is being sacrificed to complete maneuvers that should lay at rest with high performance shorter boards.

it was firing! Must have backed off a bit in the late arvo- cause i surfed up the beach from the tow ins after 430, and was a couple feet smaller than those pictures on the homepage.

great waves/

was some real nice waves out there this arfternoon.

All credit to the organisers and sponsors, the judging has little to do with them. Video footage isnt biased- our minds can be. but you win some and lose alot i guess

I did reluctantly win an award, placed 3rd and 4th in other divisions.

Well run and good fun.

Any news or results :?: I’m lead to believe Longygrom won the fishing contest. :wink: Not sure how he went in the other divisions... He can confirm. Nar didnt compete in the fish division, filled up to quick. fun waves all w/e and some good surfing. finals very small but surfable. some very suss re...

same. I hit DY point severley undergunned on a 5'4 and generally had a shit time. I managed to paddle into like 6 waves in two hours. Def taking the gun (509) tomorow! Sooo excited u charge oli, u charge hard :lol: Actually i can vouch for that mate- he took off on one of the largest set waves on w...

HAHA. Thats amazingly funny. Its all so true, except they think they are insane dj's as well as heavy drug dealers and thugs.

whats also sad about this Narrabeen incident- is that when looking for the murder weopon- they found other weapons- unrelated to this case in the near vicinity. I knew the victim quite well- and although a little left of centre due to his disability- he was actually a generous (maybe too generous in...
