    Indo- It's no different with boy-girl combo mate.
  2. I know bugger all about this, I'm learning as I go. I had half a dozen rides on a 43"Carveboard and now I want one. So these are just assumptions.

    I assume the carve board with pneumatic tyres gives a better ride than other models with eurothane wheels for 2 reasons

    1-The pneumatic tyres grip the road better, therefore allowing you to lay into the turns more.

    2-The ride is smoother because the tyres absorb a lot of the bumps, stones, twigs ect.

     

    My mate that owns a few surf shops said he can't sell Carveboards due to the price. At $600 Aus. you can understand why. Carveboard has refused to shift it's manufacturing base from the USA to china. It's probably the reason why they haven't taken of here yet.

    Once someone producing a cheaper 'made in China' version. They are bound to go ballistic here.

     

    Does spending $600 on a skateboard when you hit 40 qualify as a mid life crisis ?????

  3. I've dug this thread up on a search.

    Santa's going to bring me a carveboard! I can't believe this was nearly 4 years ago. They are relatively new in Australia. Or is it just the one I'm getting that's new?

     

    I'm getting a 43" 8 ply with pump up wheels. I had a few rides of one and I was hooked. As for terrain. There is a deserted old mountain highway not far away from here. I'm going to check it out tomorrow

  4. Ahh.. The Captain. Part of my youth. The first board I ever made had him on the deck.

     

    Indo - help the lad out. Give him more than that.! I know of some waves around Pangandaran. Probably wrong time of year though.

     

    Keba- Do you remember his flip top head?

    When he needed to think ,he dropped a block of smouldering hash in it.
