Re: Single fin shortboards
Thanks, yes it's a shape of beauty, by Malcolm Campbell on his recent trip. 6'8" by 20 1/2" by 2 3/4". basically a step up for the older, larger than average gent.....i.e me at age 47, 182 cm, 86kg. Plenty of foam in the mid section for good paddle power, fuller than average template, but still quit...

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Surfstitch (which usually seems to be full freight RRP) recently had a 30% off sale, so wetties were to be had for almost OS prices.....

Re: Bong in big trouble
Bong owned Surfstitch are having a 30% off sale - with the $AU getting a canning right now you can get a wettie at close to OS prices. Thanks, for the heads up. Decent prices, but just shows the stupid mark up aussies are expected to pay... But, of course they have no large back zip flash bomb in s...

Re: Bong in big trouble
Yes, I am drawing a long bow on that, and mentioning the BandB buccaneers in the same breath is out there, but making the point the debt fuelled-growth-by-acquisition model is high risk to say the least....

Re: Bong in big trouble
MBO or private equity is what is needed... Will take a couple of years to clean up the balance sheet, rationalise the mess of stores, overpaid acquistions, and restore cashflow....

Some fair points re shapers remuneration....
I'll haggle like the proverbial on an off the racks board, which is not often, but I'm happy to pay up for a custom direct from a rolls royce guy
