Cheers guard, I think i may stick with the DV technology, but do you recommend that factory outlet then? it's only a little way from work so I could easily drop in. Other than the sony shop what is there? PS. don't talk about it too loud or the girlfriend might want to go and that means a sunday slo...

Best camcorder for surf?

Now I don't have the talent, and I'm not quite going to paddle out to deadies with nowt but a pair of fins saving my balls, but I'm in the market for a good c...

Wasn't he a real tool, kept zipping down to DY point too, like he was going to be towing someone into the 6" kegs firing down there.... Often wondered what is the the critical fun time to be had on a jet ski on your own, like you go up and down the beach, weeeee, weeee, weeee..... At what point do y...

There are colonies up and down the coast, with the caring folk at the RSPCA (or something like that) helping to increase their numbers around the cabbage tree bay area. It's very common to see them bobbing around the bower area. I think there's something in the number of 300 nesting at north head, c...

Fair play the council saying they are not going to fell any of the trees, but trees aren't everything. That's still four acres to be covered in low visual impact concrete. If there is so much dilapidated current accommodation on the island why not use this previously developed land, demolish and rep...

With the risk of a rock being thrown through the Commodores windscreen and a turd left in the glove box, I have to say, after watching the program I was surprised to see none of the boys wearing their trademark bras! must be camera shy!

Best day of travel was getting on a run down old bike on the little island of Ovalau in Fiji and spending the day cycling round it, cycling past small huts and farms, every single person coming out to say hello, all wanting to know where I was from, what I was doing. being invited into a village, an...

Thanks for all the sweat and tears you put into it from the start, and hey, it's only six months til goldcoast n bells if you're up for it.

awww, why did you have to say cheap? Best place ever in January has to be Morroco, especially if you're a natural footer. awesome powerful waves, always offshore, cheap as hell when you get there, great food, great people (hang round looking like jedi's), great smoke, can't be beaten at that time of...

Jago, I reckon you'd be hard pushed to find a decent fish type board in the uk, especially as refined as many of the above have discussed, we have the advantage here of being able to drive a couple of k's and talk to many shapers about what we want and get feedback. In the uk it seems that unless yo...

Wanto, you found anything more on this, there's nothing on Garuda's website yet, and only this story in SMH and the Age. I know AsiaAir were supposedly offering the same deal from Malaysia recently. Could be just what the doc ordered.
