Re: Skin Cancer

You know perfectly well that you can do some online research yourself, but you want me to do it so that you can scoff at my sources. . .. it's an old tactic.

If the world could reduce cancer rates by 30% by simply ensuring vitamin D was sufficient, surely this is Nobel Prize winning medical research.

Re: Skin Cancer

I've copped it. Got a 9 inch scar on my back to prove it. I'm English/Irish heritage so I'm just asking for it I suppose and I'm more careful these days. In 1989, my then girlfriend, now wife, noticed a mole going funny. I saw my G.P. who cut it out, sent it off and said it was okay. We left for 6 ...

I agree, but don't measure it in terms of carbon, rather I think of resource use.

My grommets have been using tunnel fins on sub 6ft shortboards recently and on boards in the 7 foot range for quite a while, they like them a lot. What did you read about rocker on the blog ?

Re: The 'Duke' 9'3"

Quite a few videos on youtube ( roy stewart ) just cruising as always, and making the most of sub optimal conditions.

Also a couple on vimeo which are a bit higher resolution. When I get the wheels on the road again I'll get some better stuff.
