Treble Cone is probs the best resort in the Otago region. Its only got 3 or 4 lifts but the're new and fast and give access to pretty sweet terrain, especially if your looking for more out of bounds, ungroomed style runs. Place is pretty epic with fresh snow. But yeah, if it hasn't snowed for awhile...

The first issue of Stab had good plans for a free standing rack contructed with pvc piping. I think you can get the back issue from their site if your keen.

I think most of the stuff STAB does is more a F*#k you to the whole notion of political correctness, along similar lines to Vice Mag. The piece in question, which I'm guessing is the little 2 sentence rundown of the races pro's & con's, I didn't find Racist at all. Its blatant tongue in cheek satire...

Heading to east side Bali in December with mates who are keen to hop across to some islands other than Bali. I hear Sumbawa ge...

Try and check the long range charts before hitting Morroco. Make sure if you go there's some swell on the horizon, cause believe me its a crap place to get stuck with no waves. No girlies to chace or bars to drink away the pain. Just you, the desert, and hoards of horrible french tourists getting hi...

Just buy a regular skateboard man. even if you don't wanna learn any tricks, the're allot cheaper and you won't look totally stupid lugging it around like those exteme crossover boards. Go to a skate shop and ask for something with a wide deck and big soft wheels, then loosen the f#*k outta the truc...

If your a fan of whale conservation, you should think about voting for Rudd in the upcoming election

He's claiming if elected, he'll chase away those blubber loving Japs with the full force of our mighty navy haha.

Yeah we should really be looking into permanent eradication of the species, considering they have a relatively ambiotic position in the ocean's ecosystem. I don't think anything eats them, maybe turtles, but they don't really serve a purpose, as say, Spiders, in keeping another species in balance (s...

Maybe France. It's starting to get really cold but you would definately get swell. And if your in Hossegor its only a days drive to get down to Mundaka which is also coming into season.

Or Mexico. Puerto Escondido would probs have good waves around this time.

I was surfing down at Ganet reef near Bawley in july last year. Took off a bit too deep going right, staightened out then bailed into the foam. This pushed me about 20 metres inside and as I started paddling back out I realised I was in only about a foot of water. Unfortunately this had been one of ...
