Re: Boardies

I have 4 pairs of boardies, oneil ones I got in hong kong. I think they were the real deal coz they came with a wax comb and all the marketing bs tags. They were $20 a pair. They have lasted 5 years now and don't look like wearing out, only took two pairs to bali for 12 days, but boardies over budgi...

Re: Surf Etiquette in the Line-up

If the guy is in the wrong spot to make the wave then how is it dropping in ? Wot devon said was he'll drop in on a kook if its the right wave and the right kook. So the guy can't surf a wave as good as you, so he get's dropped in on. I guess a bit like that guy who got dropped in on by Fanning at w...

Re: Jumping from a quad to a thruster

My al merrick pod can be set up as a quad or thruster.

I rode exclusively as a quad for the first 6 months coz i only ever rid a thruster, recently swapped it to a thruster and I aint never going back.

The quad was good but as a thruster its just so much better. Maybe its the board maybe its me.

Re: Industry rip offs

To know that asian imported boards are taking away from local shapers you need to know the size of the new board market. And then you need to be able to calculate how many boards are purchased from local shapers and how many are purchased from asia. And you need to be able to have data from two diff...

Re: Industry rip offs

Simon probably has gone that way to keep afloat. He once said if everybody who rides or owns a thruster each sent him a dollar he would be a very wealthy man. . What a ridiculous comment !!!! What about the bloke who invented the hamburger or the chip sambo or chocolate milk ? Smacks of bitterness,...

Re: why do u surf?

I surf because I am crap at it.

It is a source of enjoyment and frustration in my life.

Kinda like my marriage but without the enjoyment part.

http://au.tv.yahoo.com/dancing-with-the-stars/ Occ is one of the surfers I admired most. Just the thought of this is hard to take, I won't be watching it. There is hope in me that Occ will treat it with the contempt it deserves though I guess after the skoda commercials its naive of me. I'm aware of...

Re: Board report - new Miller V-Skate

After purchasing the wrong board a long time a go I went and spoke to Grant and ordered a 6'6" v-skate. It has served its purpose well, its now 8 years old, it has coped a hiding that only a clumsy beginner can dish up. I don't really ride it anymore, but I won't sell it, coz I may need it at some t...
