The point is that apart from mr sickpig very few people are turned off by white boards.... High turnover means lower prives. If you want pay bargain basement prices youse get what youse pay for?! Incidentally I recently got a custom board, with a custom spray of my own design from a VERY well known ...

Holding every event in massive death pits is fine, but its akin to holding all snow boarding events as big mountain challenges. It only exposes a certain skill set of a competitor.... Unless events are held in a variety of waves types you don't really test the competitors to there full ability. NB: ...

I think we might be on to a bit of a design fault here. I put a Creatures tail pad on my new board and its coming up at the wedge as well?? And I didn't hit the water for a couple of days?? It looks as if the wedge section is to stiff to adhere to the slight contour of the deck, pulling it up at the...

Hey Kuba

I'm 6'2 90kg and just got a 6'5 x 19 x 2 1/2 Single concave from Simon Anderson.

Plenty of volume down the stringer line, really quick but still turns like a much smaller board.

Being a big fella himself I think helps him sort out boards for blokes our size.

The guys is requalifying off his own bat, under a completely objective system. If he'd been off the tour for ten years+ and thought he could come back and beat the kids (aka tom Curren) that would be a little sad. The guy is still competing with the kids enough to retain his spot so why shouldn't he...

Have to say, i've never really had a problem with this.

Get a thin coat over the fresh board as bet you can, and then go in a circualr motion. Softer wax will make life easier.

Neoprene shorts.

Got a couple of mates who use them and swear by them. Apparently Rype in DY has them.

Don't make the mistake of going to Line Up though. They may have them as well but its just not worth talking to Wayne.

I think we all need to take a step back. He has been found guilty, not sentenced. The range of punishments is incredibly large. In a civilised society you need to be able to rely on individuals to assist with police investigations. Regardless if his intent and well meaning Koby did not assist them. ...
