Guys, thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

I will go and check out Sean Wilde's shop at Mona Vale this weekend.

Hi Guys Have always ridden short boards up til now, but after watching some guys down at my local over summer having fun on their mals thought I might jump in and get one. What I am after is something for those 1-3’ days where I can learn to cross step and get up on the nose, ie do something new and...

Surfing the early doesn't seem to worry me, whether there are other surfers out or not, but surfing at sunset really puts the spooks up me at times. Think it is beacuse in the morning everything is slowly getting lighter while at sunset it is only getting darker. Was the last one out down at a reef ...

Just bought a Haydenshapes Shred Sled Fibrflex 5'10" x 19 1/2" x 2 3/8", absolutely love it!!

Heard some good reports on Panda boards, also try Haydenshapes I have a couple of Hayden's boards and can throughly recommend him for service and quality.

Always wear my "lucky" speedos or I will surf crap.

Trouble is they are starting to breakdown and fall apart, what will I do??

Has anyone stayed at Mantanivusi Resort on the Coral Coast?

Do uyou have a link or a contact to the villa you are staying in, my wife and I are planning a similar trip next year and looking for a place to stay.

Be interested to hear what it was like when you get back.

This might throw a spanner in the works of a few of those "exclusive" fijian resorts!!

Hey nathan
How would you rate the the Hayden's shredsled against the Mollusc and Nick Blair boards you wrote about earlier in the thread.

And did you ride the shredsled as a thruster or quad?

Your "mate" is ripping you off I reckon.

You should be able to get a better second hand board at any local surf shop or shaper. Talk to them honestly about your ability and aims and shop around.

I have a surflock too, can recommend them.

Being from Qld Small Kahlua probably still wears and hour glass strapped to his wrist!

I have the same Rip Curl watch as Fishy.

Had it for about five years no problems, replaced the battery once.

The rubber wrist band is even still in "new " condition.

Future Fins rear quad fins seem smaller in general then FCS, not sure why this is?

Am bit of a FF fan in general!

Hey Guard
What rear futures are you using on your quad with the 438s - 375s or 400s?

Guard
Have you tried the V2 437's in your quad?

I am also using the V2 438's and am pretty happy with them, but a mate suggested the trying the 437's.

Being bit of a grommet at International surf travel I found the site quite good.

The info on the site was better than that provided by some of the surf travel websites.

Criticisms - not a lot of locations listed and the search facility would not work for me.
