Be a pretty poorly organised insurance job if it wasn't.

Yes, heard they were trying to raise capital.

DH didn't sound too upset in his interview on the telly last night tbh.

Lol. Wasn’t he also tied up in BASE?

Funny game the surfboard industry

Best wave at 1 minute in

I watched some this morning that was wipeout city.

Looks like a wave drawn on your school textbook

My 10-year-old son has been showing a bit of interest in surfing lately. We've got an O&E 7' foot thing that he took out at Wanda yesterday, and had a blast. I took him down The Farm today - absolute onshore rubbish, but I'd committed - and we took my neighbour's 5'6" Mullet Biscuit. He went okay on it. He said to me, "I think four fins is my thing." Anyway, we can probably borrow this for a little while but when I do get him his own, what do youse reckon? Any thoughts that aren't tin foil quality?

Tell him when he can swim a mile non stop you will get him a board. That’s what my old man said. Motivation when you’re 10 years old. So I did it, then he bought me a $20 dinged up knee board. Couldn’t get my arm around it and it was a piece of shit hand made dog of a thing. I didn’t know it was a knee board though and stood up on it. Learning curve was prolly stifled to some extent. Had to save up my own coin to get a McCoy double flyer round pin.

Okay, The Duck is offering up tough love. Who’s next?

Those MR foamies look fun

Can that, they’re $590

Just get something decent second hand between $100-$200
Heaps out there that a grom can have a ball on

Can he swim a mile? Would he be ok in a strong rip dragging him out with no board. Is he a strong swimmer?
That shit does help aj. I didn’t realise at the time but it did save my life a few times. Go the tough love route.

Agree. Second hand stick. Plenty out there.

Oh yeah, that’s what I’m after. How do you expect me to make bank if I’m shelling out for a brand new board?

Nah, not a mile yet, but he’s done a couple of Nippers seasons.

Well tell the little cnut to pull his finger out and get swimming till he can do the deed and deserve his second hand JS or whatever. Make him earn it, he’ll appreciate it all the more if he loves it.
