smw1, if it isn't in the kit, I'd chuck in some peroxide (no not for your hair) for the froth and bubble approach and some steri-strips which work like stitches.

You know how when you take off and just kick the tail out a bit to set your line in faster, smaller waves? Well I just couldn't wi...

Singapore - hot, humid, some attractive ladies, very developed and sterile, like Canberra on steroids! Depends how desperate you get I guess. Matt Grainger used to run a wave pool in Malaysia some years ago. He reckons it's capable of reasonable waves, but it used to freak the Malays so they kept it...

I swear years ago myself and friends went through winter with just a vest and boardies, mind you there wasn't much else available! Just didn't feel the cold like I do now.
