Mantas 3 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Nice shots. Anyone ever done any tow ins? When my bro gets his divorce sorted he is going to buy a jet ski. He wants to train up a crew. I said sign me up Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Bp, nah mate, you are! Mantas. Yep have tried it a few times down the Island in Vicco. So much fun, wish I could get a ski here but parking etc is a hassle. With a ski here we wouldn't have any probs with the mega currents we get with these typhoons.. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ah, I love being right! Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 does that mean i can also call it the east sea and be right? tow-ins sound pretty fun mantas. especially for shifty beachies and offshore bombies (obviously with no paddle crew on it). there's tons of outer reefs that would be rad to whip into. i coulda done with a ski yesterday to tow into some big shifty rights but for me, at the moment i'm mostly pretty happy just paddling.

bushpig 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 You most certainly could spook, and I wouldn't correct you Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 It's actually the Chinese that call it the East Sea I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 no, 東海 or 中國東海 or 東シナ海 (東支那海) is actually east of Shanghai. The East Sea you are on about is the Korean insistence on calling it that cos they are also coasted on it. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 BP, you're going to have to give me more proof! I think it's funny it's called the Japan sea oe sea of Japan since it's a sea to Korea and Russia too. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 English Channel anyone? France calls it La Manche, but no-one's going to war over it. Could it be that Korea is being a dickhead again? Link to post Share on other sites

Did you just use your normal board or a tow board? Did you have a sled? Did you know what you where doing? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 What?? You want me to keep posting more maps with that naming on it? There were heaps mate, I just stopped after a few. Thursday, that sounds right. Thanks for the clarification. Want more? Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's funny it's called the Japan sea oe sea of Japan since it's a sea to Korea and Russia too. Basically those that won the early wars (not WW2, but previous) got to decide. Japan beat Russia back in 1902 (was it??) First time an Asian power had kicked a European/Western/white power and beaten their navy. That earned them the bragging rights to call it whatever the hell they wanted! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 in BP style ^ Mantas, I tried on my mates board he first used when mucking around which was a 6'4 with a strap. As I got used to it I tried one of his smaller tow sticks which I felt was a wee bit too small for me. Maybe 5'10 or smaller. Link to post Share on other sites
