can't use it in the new Subie.

I value marine biodiversity highest, then bird biodiversity, amphibians (frogs), reptiles, mammals, arthropods, insects, micro-organisms.

And plants, but I need to learn a lot more about plants.

Or close enough to that order.

Is that OK Thud.

I know it's a bit anti-social to value biodiversity.
I know you value the environment more than most. And I enjoy hearing the stories from the north concerning that.

Yes, I am very, very fond of Echidnas (monotreme not marsupial).

There's one who shows up here most full moons, sometimes makes a bit of a mess in the veggie garden.

Also been a swamp wallaby hanging out in the paddock lately.

Steve is doing his bit for biodiversity by not washing his fishing shorts. He has developed some new virulent strains of ballsack fungus.

This works at least as well as wearing the fish gut encrusted shorts as a guaranteed way to fish with no competition.

Rode the board on the right this morning. A couple of head high sets came through and it behaved perfectly in critical situations: almost airborne on the drop, hard critical bottom turn, no problems, into a little barrel, pumping for the exit, didn't have to think about the board at all.

Advertised as a high performance mid-length that'll take anything you can throw at it up to double overhead.

And thank god I'm starting to get some form after three years of mediocre crap on anything but mals.

Juries out on the other board, sometimes it just won't respond predictably, sometimes it does, always wondering if my back foot is in the right place.

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.

The Tolhust Mid 6 is the performance version of the more sedate board you’ve got there.

Yeah I see. They are completely different boards though. My comment was from some experience but mainly from a detailed review I watched before I bought the board,

Mine is more like a mal than a mid length, nevertheless I'd ride it in anything in Bali.
