i reckon boards are pretty good value, even if you're paying full price at about $750 a pop i've never sold a board as i just hang onto them. selling them cheap seems worthless to me. i'd rather have em around just in case or give it away to a mate cheap than try and get any money back from em. but ...

i was there in september a few years ago and found it pretty uncrowded. when supers was good there would be 20-30 guys spread out, but you could get waves. didn't really hassle for any sets, just picked off the medium ones further down the line all the other sections has good waves too, with pretty ...

yep, scuzz is a legend. he is a top bloke and i can't speak highly enough of him.
just so you know, he doesn't have asia any more. and if you want to do a trip with him, i think he is usually on southern cross

yeah it's a sweet vid. slick editing and music the jbay footage is rad. a few years ago ASL released a vid called "no contest" - all the freeriding around the mexican search event. would love to see a similar vid of the jbay event from this year as the waves looked mental. would also love to see som...

ferries go from maroc to spain daily. both from tangiers and ceuta. or fly cheaply from agadir or marakesh to europe you will have a hard time trying to hire boards. and you are going in the off season. expect it to be very farking hot on the coast. i'm not sure about the winds. a car is necessary i...

this is quite possibly the greatest storyline i've ever read. i'd like to see vin diesel as kyle. he can do one of those pretend aussie accents that americans think is legit and have you thought about some sort of talking dolphin that offers spiritual words of wisdom? he can mostly talk profound sou...

i'm no expert, but it's called parallel importing when a shop purchases from overseas suppliers cheaper than what the local suppliers will offer ralph lauren recently tried to stop a business from importing genuine ralph lauren products from an overseas supplier at cheaper prices than what they coul...

larry - from the facts you've given i totally agree with you that this is a crass marketing exercise by rip curl. they're being total tightarses behind the scenes and will take all the public glory from parading these ex champions around my only point is that there are possibly other ways to get bet...

instead of whingeing about this, why don't you do something - call up some surf rags and ask em to run a story. failing that, try and get some letters published. you seem to know what's going one behind the scenes so why not try and get your point across? or you could just not bother cos it's all to...

for what it's worth i reckon ASL is pretty good these days. they had a few dire years, but now they've got more interesting travel destinations and articles, and are injecting a bit of humour back into the mag. the interview at the end of the mag is usually also kinda interesting, and features someo...

faaaark, i love surfing real waves. belting down the line at ulu's watching each loom up ahead, your board feels alive under your feet
have fun gumby

it's very true what you said natho, and also freestyler. boards size depends on how big you are and your ability. i also think maybe some people on here are overestimating their ability, hence some of my confusion freestyler's comments regarding 7ft+ boards in 8-10 foot surf make more sense to me th...

all this talk of 6'2"s and 6'3"s in 8 foot surf is hilarious - if you're good enought to ride board's this small in solid surf, then you don't need any advice from this forum. unless you shred - it's highly unlikely that you'll be tearing 6-8ft waves apart, you'll mostly just be drawing nice lines r...

i flew to j-bay a few years ago from the uk, with the plan of picking up some good boards. they weren't as cheap as i thought they'd be (about $500-600)AUS for a new stick) plus there weren't many that looked great, which i found suprising given the amount of shops and boards there. thats just perso...

or it could be that he's never tried to portray any image but that's the only side the surf media shows you
i bet lots of the top 45 are right cnts. but i doubt you'll see ASL, Surfer, Tracks etc etc saying so, cos they'll be biting the hand that feeds em

that's the same as judges in any sport though isn't it?
if they could do the moves, they'd be competing

Whereas when you look at someone like Slater who is also a cutting edge competitor, slater seems to be a much fairer sportsman and much more gracious in both success and defeat. what about the snake interference slater pulled against beschen at that US comp 6 or 7 years ago. that was dirty as f*ck

3/2 will be fine. maybe wear a radiator type rashie underneath if you get cold, but you should be right
