The work week was hot. Clear skis, Clear flat beautiful water for swimming. The weekend. Cold rain howling onshore winds Large sloppy useless seas. Stay inside. AAARRRGH !!

Still onshore crap here.

Good game boys.......The Kiwis played with plenty of heart and courage but were out-classes by the Aussies.....again. Bring on the Pomms.

Thanks guys. I like to do research on this sort of thing. Appreciate the help.

Can't believe you guys are complaining about Nasal hair . I don't get time to trim them anymore. Most of my limited grooming time is spent trimming my ears. They have started to resemble a couple of pet catapillars sitting up there.

Steep bc extreme...?.. pfft. I'lll leave that for the videos. No just plain old riding down the hill.

Thanks Kumapix for the marathon, db style reply. Food for thought. I think I need a longer board for open mountain stuff. But i think I would stuggle to throw around a longer board when hopping through the trees ect. Best buy 2 boards then ay.

I like to watch photos and videos of me or my mates because you get to relive whats only a 10 sec wave over and over. I don't think it's so much of a vanity thing. Another SE blow over here. Lots of swell but totally useless!!

Computor geek ! Your kidding. It takes me half a day just to post on S-J's No not me mate, I'm much more handsome. >I take it you live in Australia and just go riding abroad on holidays....< Yes. Not much snow in Boat Harbour. Lots of pippies and crabs though!

Who's Golum?

More specific Spud. Dimensions ect.

He owns 3 shops now. they are called Tsunami Surf. Named after the Tsunami that trashed G'land and washed him into the jungle in the middle of the night in his mozzie net. He can still surf like a demon. He's my age. It makes me spew! He's just started to give snowboarding a go. I'm going to try and get him to go to Japan.

Yes . Yet another punter asking for advice on snowboards. I know this has been done a few times lately. I read with great interest about some of you saying how much your riding improved on a new board. Which prompted me into thinking about an upgrade. I have no reason to dislike my current board. It has served my well for years now. I really haven't ridden many other boards. So it begs the questions. Is it the right board for me and would I be riding better on a different board ? I have to admit I'm not very technically wise on snowboard features. So please give me your 2 bob's ( or quar

I'm not sadistic bastard really , but I did laugh at this. http://www.easycall.net/fun/cat-fan.shtml

I know a hell of a lot of good guys on tour and they're just doing what they love and getting (some well) paid for it. You say that the pros are more like catwalk models Mantas, but the industry has changed and they get paid by these companies to be models in their ads. Most of the guys that are in those ads got one thing in common. They're all shit hot surfers, and people get jealous of that and put them down. No Simon Law mate. Yes I'm one of the jealous ones. Who isn't. The surf ind

Where's a video camera when you really need one?

Resposnible cat owners in Australia put bells around their necks (the cat's that is) to help warn any animals that the cat might find as sport.

Apologies in advance to all cat lovers. I hate Cats.... I've even shot a few. In Queensland the army had to be called in to 'exterminate' a heap of cats from a particular part of bushland because they had almost wiped out to extinction a breed of Quall ( small furry animal much cuddlier than a cat ). What shits me more is that we are dragging nets through the sea, causing no end of damage to the marine eco systems, so we can gather tonnes of canned fish to feed our cat population so they can be fit and healthy to decimate our natural wildlife! Once again sorry to all cat lovers.

There’s this hero worship of pros which ignores the fact that a lot of them behave like complete dicks. Mate I couldn't tell you the last time I bought a surf mag. They are more like fashion mags these days. Some of the pros are more like cat walk models. Not all (but most) Pros are wankers. There are a few good examples. One of my mates was a pro in the 80s 90s. he was in the top 16 for a while. He is the nicest bloke you would want to meet. He no

For the parents. When one of your kids has a big green snot slug hanging out his nose. They slide off the lounge on their tummys, turn around to face you and Hey. Face all clean now.

An 81-year-old man is in critical condition after a bizarre attack by a stingray, which leapt out of the water into a boat and stung him in the chest. "It's just a real freak thing," said Lieutenant Mike Sullivan, What a load of BS. "The silly old fart should of known better." "I bet he was doing something silly with it." Imagine getting that close to a stingray." "As if the boat was going to protect him. "What a dickhead.!!" Sound familiar ?????
