Hope you’re letting the young fella have a go. I reckon I got to stick about one piece on the first one my dad got me lol
I sit on my hands and let him work away until he blows his top over a fiddly little bit and then I make my move and take over. :-D-:

Before or after completion?
Well you have to look at the word completion here, Al.
They were generally complete to the extent they generally looked like what they were supposed to look like.
I usually take a heuristic view of such matters.

Just realised you were talking about throwing out the little fiddly bits and not the whole kit. Will keep it in mind when working on the engine.

Send me to aGulag for re education?
Nice conditions today. A bit closely outy and mainly lefts but I got one stray right peak that hit the bank then kept holding across the shallow inside bank. I kept gunning it and the board really sped up through the hollow sections till it finally shutdown. Stoked.

Had a fun surf this morning. Tides getting too low for that bank now but it looks like there’s still a few options further down. Great to get some sunshine. Water was freezing.

Manly after lunch, clean conditions but swell seemed to drop off pretty quickly.

Holy fcuk. NC's prediction was on the money down here.

I was working all day at the 'Gong uni with a two hour gap around 10.30. Sped down to that place that rhymes with pretty, and my god.

It was 6ft+ dredging lefts, throwing out as wide as they were high on the lower tide... Clean as you could ask for but real fcuking heavy! I paddled out, with a horrible feeling of the knowledge that I only had a very small window and I could not get injured. Not the best mental state for the size and intensity of the wave!

Didn't get much, but scored one medium size stoinker that I was stoked with. Man, it was PUMPING. I've never surfed there before so I would have loved to spend more time casing the lineup. epic.

It was pretty much pumping here yesterday. Pretty solid brown barrels at the north end and endless stream of waves at the point. The crowd where mainly local board riders from each club. The conversations were mainly about potentially using a board with a few additional inches. It was a no bullshit “my local is pumping” attitude and surfing.

Today it’s nice rollers and about 2/3ft. A very different crew pulling twins and others things out today. Looks of beards and funny hats.

When you say he's your pal do you mean he also happens to live in Lennox?
