It's also true of things attached to leggie strings (aside from surfboards, haven't had any of those disappear for some time). I keep FCS keys attached to spare leggie strings... they disappear. Had my car and house keys, an FCS key and my work pass all bound up with a keyring and a leggie string... gone.Nick Carroll wrote:I hate leggie strings.

I reckon those FCS keys are a bit like coathangers - they multiply when you close the cupboard doors ...collnarra wrote: It's also true of things attached to leggie strings (aside from surfboards, haven't had any of those disappear for some time).

But can you find one when you actually need one?

I hate it when you're on the inside, you clearly are going to get the wave yet some british backpacker blow in keeps paddling furiously and your "Mate, I've got it" elicits no response. British fat boy then screams down the face of the wave, or falls off with his mini mal making for your noggin.
I hate that surf schools don't do their job properly. All these backpackers in the water have graduated from their stupid schools yet somehow they never learn the folloing surfing fundamentals;
(a) Don't paddle out straight through the takeoff zone.
(b) Don't paddle for the shoulder if you're in the way, paddle for the foam.
(c) Don't drop in.
Basically though I hate that some people have taken aggressiveness so far they paddle for waves even though clearly someone else has it. DO I have to call people off all the time? I never paddle for a wave if someone has it. Why bother? It's a waste of effort and rude.
However, I love having chicks in the water. When I as a grom they'd have been chased out of the water...how stupid were we?

not its just that red stuff , dont go near it thats what gave me it, the food court is a shithole but eh just like the Corso in generalzzz wrote:mate you need to get a bit more fortitude in that gut of yours. I've been stacking up on the serve-yourself chinese joint at the back of the foodhall beside hungry jacks in the corso for years now without a problem! bloody great value if you're up for a big feed.Lidder wrote: I hate food poisoning from cheap Chinese food in the Corso
For some reason the missus won't go near it though ...
And I thought I was the only one! I recently lost mine. After reading a few surfing books (including a certain 'board bible' *cough cough*) I set off to bunnings looking for some 'fine marine cord'. Couldn't find any! ended up with bloody venetian cord stuff! looks the same, but I dread heading out in anything over 3 foot with it. Doubling up with it gives it alot more strength, at the cost of quick leggie changes.Nick Carroll wrote:I hate leggie strings. They're like socks in the laundry; they just kinda ... disappear, for no reason. No other surfing device does this. Wax melts into your car's carpet, but it doesn' t just bloody vanish into thin air. Legropes themselves hang around even after they've broken. Don't even get me STARTED on surfboards.
Come on you legrope making bastards, save us from the tyranny of String.

Grumpy bunch of bastards aren't we all. What next,
I hate living here and not Iraq
I hate being able to make to a beach and surf regularly
