Comin in a bit late on this one. I'll kind of bypass the whole aesthetic thing here and cut to the chase on performance.

Surf size affects everyone a little differently and we all take different views of it at different times during the surfing life-cycle. Yet whoever you might be, wha...

Jeez you guys, none of this is Karma! Dammit your skateboard vanished, you found it in somebody's bag, assumed he stole it, and stole his wallet and $40 in return!

The Westpac helicopter therefore uses up its $100k in less than 34 hours, barely a week. Anyone know how they wor...

I think Johnno's a good example of someone who's grown wise through his surfing :) Days have changed a lot, I feel like the guys who are still trying to be "heavy locals" at some surf spot are stuck in a time warp of sorts ... or maybe they're trying to live up to some local legend that's passed by ...
