how's this gonna affect flights that codeshare with BA? eg alot of wantas flights are also BA flights and likewise - you book trough qantas then get to the airport to find out it's actually a BA plane flying that leg of your trip

if you go to maroc you need wheels. agadir has good waves but is a surf ghetto. i'd check it out so you understand the place, then move on. and there are bucketloads of waves in the north, everyone drives staight to agadir but there's heaps to explore in the north (surf and culture). don't make the ...

who cares if someone is gay. most homophobic blokes are so ugly, i doubt anyone wants to root them

whenever i have a big night and the surf is cracking the next day i feel like i've betrayed myself...
but yeah, vomit would be a pretty effective way of clearing the lineup, as would having an aquaturd

yes indeedy. i can understand that when you get a dvd made by the mag, but this was a much-hyped profile vid. pretty much every mag gave the thing rave reviews, and it was just a crock. the mick myself and eugene one was pretty lame too. i'm happy to say that i didn't actually buy either of them, bu...

i'll start. being the sucker that i am, i bought the latest waves for the copy of the bobby martinez mixed tape movie stuck to the front. i shouldn't have bothered. it's a total yawn fest. there's about 5 good waves in the entire film, and the rest of the time there's a bunch of pro's talking about ...

i reckon the bigger bags are more hassle than they're worth. they're only good if you're going straight from the airport to your destination, and not travelling around much. try packing and unpacking a 3 board bag (with wheels) in the carpark everytime you go for a surf. go for the slimline ones, an...

come on, how much difference can a different board make at a spot like chopes?
i'd imagine all the pros are riding very similar shapes anyway. so if someone swaps his 6'5" for a different 6'5"....
that's my 2 cents anyway

stay in capreton. it's a 2 minute drive from hossegor, and super cool. i wouldn't surf at the main peaks at hossegor - you can drive 10 minutes north or south and be surfing the same waves but by yourself. you will need a car to get good uncrowded waves. there's 100km+ of empty beachies, so as long ...

blizzards - surely not? i mean, they're pro athletes...

mick campbell and occy have pulled out with injury. peterson rosa was offered a wildcard and turned it down - why would a pro turn a wildcard down?
and kieren perrow has got a wildcard too. should be interesting to see how he goes, the bloke is a madman

yeah, but what on earth would you do with a silver surfboard?

i had a shitty west wetty once (the seams around the torso kept tearing). it was 10 years ago, and i know things have probably improved since then, but it's a pain in the arse. once you've been burnt you're not likely to go back. i was chatting to a bloke in the wetty section of a big and reputable ...

i've got a rip curl elasto3-2. just the standard one before the bomb series came out. i've been buying rip curl for the past 9 years without any probs. if it ain't broke, don't fix it i say... i picked up a springy this year, with the fireskin on the inside. because it stays dry and wicks water away...

you guys should try surfin in perth. piss weak waves and more people than you could ever believe.
even in mid-winter, howling onshore, there'll still be 20 guys hassling over some scrappy little waves

bit off topic, but i liked a recent piece you did for transworld surf NC - surfing going full circle and the decline of the waves of kooks that are currently invading the beaches. there were some sharp remarks about collectors in that article.

i know this has probably been posted somewhere before, but i can seem to find it...
does anyone know of cheap flights from singpore to bali? what airline?
cheers!

erm, while i agree they look daft and will only be used by the kook set, you can't really just bag em out. there have been all sorts of dorky trends in surfing. just because you're a good surfer doesn't mean you're immune to bad taste and stupid gadgets. what about those webbed gloves that people we...
