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. Three-fin thrusters are undoubtedly more effective surfboards for surfers throughout the whole modern skill range. The setup just generates more drive through turns thanks to the ...

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...

Jesus h Christ, think I'd better quit while I'm behind :oops: :lol: It's a shame Larry hasn't appeared in any cringeworthy tight boardshorts ads -- that would finish off his feeble legal threats. Merkin I am fascinated by your Banana Replacement Technology (BRT), perhaps with some little effort the ...

Munch, the trouble with society today is there is no respect for people trying to make a real contribution, who leave no stone unturned to better the enjoyment others, to go where no man has gone before, to reach for the stars... probably all ‘naturals’ :shock: banana anyone? :arrow: I beg to diffe...

That's dead set the last thing I'd ever have expected to read about in these forums. Your mate was stressing -- how would you like to have been the subject of that artwork :oops: In all seriousness ...

1. The south coast plane guy says it will cost $100k per year for an aerial shark patrol of Sydney beaches 2. The Wesptac helicopter guy reckons a 30 minute helicopter flight costs $3k. The Westpac helicopter therefore uses up its $100k in less than 34 hours, barely a week. Anyone know how they wor...

You can put up signs but it wont do any good because there will always be people who will do what they want, regardless. Hey Nick why dont you suggest Newport + put up a sign at the peak, god knows that place is as bad as Narrabeen. Well I don't know if it is or not, haven't seen anyone punched out...

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 ...

thanks dae i might do that No problem, I'm sure if you petition everyone will sign. Any ideas from the floor on the best way to approach this? You'd need to do it through NN Boardriders, and you'd need the support of the surf club, the professional lifeguard crew and the local police. With this sup...
