It's a bit like driving down the street , or trying to walk through the crowd at a crowded pub ... there is always a small percentage of d!ckheads who get all agro about anything and you never really know when you are going to come across them ... :idea: tell your son to walk sth a few 100m's ... a ...

Great waves this morning ... very north swell creating lines that ran at a seaward angles down the beach ... the light sth wind held the faces up just enough so they were fast but makable ... biggest sets hit 4 foot but there were consistent 3 footers with plenty of dredgey sections and pits to race...

I found that dropping into my stance a bit more shifted my weight a little more over my feet (rather than leaning back) and using the drive from the rail and fin...

Re: Show us your crack

Is that damage to the blank in the first pic as a result of stripping the glass off ... :?: the blank looks sh!t and I would expect that is from the removal process but just curious if it was already full of air bubbles ... :?:

lucky the costs blew out ... imagine if they only spent the original budget ... it would only be 2 second rides in 3 inch dribble rather than 5 second rides in 6 inch dribble ... clearly a well spent 3 million pounds ... :idea: :roll:
