Greg Long could set you on the right path. Did you surf with him?
Other than that, what is the work connection? Okay if it's not for public consumption

Re: Ears
All the best, iggs. Based on my shoulder replacement nearly 2 yrs ago, the prescribers are a little less liberal with the prescriptions than they once were. I didn't have much fun after the need; not much fun at all

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Name the most interesting person in surfing for the last 25 years and why. I actually cannot think of one. I think people in modern surfing are so boring and have not much to say. I think that’s why surfing may suffer commercially. I think Mick Fanning might be an intelligent guy but, poorly educat...

Great to be alive. I look back with thanks that we didn't even have mobile* phones in our clueless thinking

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I surf a few places that have had attacks around here but the sharkiest “feeling” place I’ve surfed was Pelicans in Victoria. swvic will know it. And lighthouse near there also felt pretty dodgy paddling across the channel. Haven’t surfed SA or WA though. Yes. Did you ever surf Back Reef down Petet...

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Back at work today after a bit of leave. My boss was there. He'd surfed earlier that day. Was there with his son who took part in a school surf comp Up where I am now, he took a couple of new employees out on the boat. He dived. I asked if he'd been edgy. The answer was, "Yes" I've been out with him...

Re: are surftech boards any good??
Maybe I'm deluded, but there's a "pop" in coming off turns (particularly bottom) the feel of traditional construction has. JD (apologies) shapes have that. Some older boards I've had end up losing it despite it's otherwise condition. "Pop" is good

Re: are surftech boards any good??
Another couple of things about JD and the I'll stfu; He told me if the laminate is punctured, get it out of the water and here asap. Probably wouldn't have charged. Great guy
The also have a vent to accomodate heat expansion/contraction. I imagine it's a real problem for EPS cores without them

Re: are surftech boards any good??
Josh's are EPS. Lighter than PU, but way stronger. Mine is excellent for heaving beachies. Wide point slightly forward, narrow round pin. Did a Sth coast NSW trip with it as my only board. Chucking some small fins in it was okay for smaller days too. Don't surf it much these days, but barely a mark ...

Re: are surftech boards any good??
I still have a JD. Epoxy, but timber railed. It's a small step up (6'2"), but goes well from 4'. Has twang
Only other poxy board I've ridden was one of Hayden's on loan at Lord Howe. Not a Hypto, but it was fcuked for paddling in. Seemed to just want to cork at the top. JD's nothing like that

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Jimmy's post marries perfectly with the Israelis I've met. Orthodox crew could not wait to disengage. Religion and the Palestinian situation hadn't even been broached. I hope this isn't seeming stereotypic as it's simply an observation based on a very small sample size
