RealSurf Surfers' Forum

How did you know this? I don't. In saying camera angles, I did'nt make the assumption that the land camera was a gopro. Is it possible to get any depth of field for distance shooting with one of those weeny 'lil things? I don't know. JD Interesting thread everyone. In answer to your question, becau...

Sorry, not a contribution, just a test to see if I can get an error to crop up...

Hi all! So, yep, we got there with a few days to spare. So now I'm hoping to get the total pledger count up to 200 - just because it'd be cool to have that many people who think enough of the site to kick in a little coin to the cause. Hope I see a few of you fine folk at the big evening. The midwee...

Hmm. I put the comma in there but, I don't think it works. :-) Being English, it's "right" either way. Unlike the new government - which is all the way to the right. Pretty cool that we've hit 20% of the goal in just 3 days. And huge thanks to those forum luminaries who turned up for the dawn patrol...

Hi Steve, which stats were you wanting me to post? I'm guessing the obvious stuff such as page views and uniques, right?

Hi all, Don here. Got a big favour to ask of each of you. Would you please go take a look at the RealSurf crowdfunding page on Pozible? More to the point, would you look at it and then kick something in? Thanks in advance for checking it out! Here's the link to the We're RealSurf project page on Poz...

Hi again More useful and not so useful but still funny thoughts. Again, good to see from my side and hugely appreciated. re: the rewards/incentives whatever they're called I've had a look at the pozible handbook as well as the detail of the process by which one sets up a crowdfunding project and I c...

A 10-pack of postcards... I like that idea Alakaboo! I like it a lot...! Karlos, don't worry mate, with everybody's generous help, we'll keep these going for just as long as people want them. :-) In my researching how others have set up their crowdfunding drives, I came across a guy who was offering...

Hi all So encouraging to read your posts, thanks! I'm getting pretty hopeful about how this might go because unlike many crowdfunders, RealSurf has been around long enough (almost 18 years!!!) that we've got quite a few friends. Last time we did a whip 'round (5 or 6 years ago I think), social netwo...

Thanks for those encouraging remarks! Nice to get that kind of feedback so quickly. As soon as I knock over a short piece for Photo Review's app version about using Nikon's new 800mm, I'm back on to the crowdfunding stuff. Today's project will be researching topics such as the optimal length of time...

Hi all Just in case you haven't seen the post I put up this morning on the RealSurf home page (see below), I wanted to bring it to your attention. After many years, I've finally decided to do another fundraiser for both the Forums and RealSurf's home page. As I note below, advertising income has spu...

Hi folks,
I have not been able to duplicate the issue myself. But to be on the safe side I'm going to deactivate all the ads because the ad server is my top suspect for now. I know, I know, no ads, how terrible.
Not sure how long it'll take...

As many of you may know, I was lucky enough to shoot some 16mm footage of Michael in 1977 at Kirra, the Stubbies and Winki Pop. When I heard he died, I got some of it out and put some of the Winki Pop footage together with a tune. I know Collnarra and Larry have seen it and maybe Nick, but it hasn't...

hi Lawny. Are you planning to support the forums by buying an ad for your business?

First two people to respond to this post will each get a pair of tickets to Tim Bonython's Australian Surf Movie Festival at Palm Beach RSL tomorrow evening from 8pm.

I'll check back through the day...

The forums are pretty slow lately Don. Are you doing something behind the scenes to cause this? Any other websites I use are operating at normal speed. Not a problem if you are aware of it and it's because of something you're doing. I noticed some sloth this evening when I was in the admin area. An...

^^^ Thanks Don. The "new posts" fascility didn't appear earlier but does now and. The "view actve topics" still not responding. Happy to to be patient with any further tweakin' . So long as new posts can be accessed as it makes it easier to navigate with these poncy smartphones when out and about a...

Heya Don. Realize you've been tweakin' things. But wondering why the "search active topics" function isn't operating? Cheers! Edit: just tried the " view new posts" funtion and seems to work in much the same way. But still wonder if you intended to remove the other function. Yeah, I have been makin...
