Dr crabmeat told me a similar thing about a different muscle, although I found the Currumbin dunnies a weird place for our consultation.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Far out. I have seen so many crossover shapes by mainstream manufacturers lately. Anyone ridden any of these things?
I think Nick needs to do a soft board review.

I have, they are shit.

They get better if you stick real fins in em, which should tell you what they're like. ie if you made the rest of em real, they'd be way better.

Yes, well of course that's right. However there are degrees of shitiness. Seem to be selling like hot cakes around the Eastern Suburbs.

There's lots of them around in Perth too and most aren't ridden by learners.

Surfing between the flags. Don’t get that unless you’re a complete twit or under 8

Surfer, aged 44, dies at Collaroy Beach today - my report has it as a death. Lead story on Channel 9 news and there is some shots on the cam of him entering the water and later he was swept on to the storm water drain.

Yeah he died. He’s not from the area. I drove past it a few times today. It was a washing machine.
