So you gave up on your ballet career, Stu?

Can't really tell but, while the main break is angular, the whole back block is cracked and stressed. Clear sign it wasn't the wave but impact with the bottom. Also got a good graze to testify how shallow it was.

On another note, I have some furniture that I would like to give away to any east coast flood affected people who lost their belonging, problem is that's over here in the west, no idea of transport costs

simba Thursday, 17 Mar 2022 at 01:09 pm new

seaslug Thursday, 17 Mar 2022 at 02:44 pm new

When life is a bit shit and overwhelming, just take your dog for a walk in a forest.

Great advice IB. Handsome hound.

Island Bay Sunday, 20 Mar 2022 at 11:06 am new

He's a very good boy. Old and falling apart now (spine, hindquarters, hearing), but so happy and keen still.

zenagain Sunday, 20 Mar 2022 at 11:21 am new

SS, just saw the message. Yeah, it was real big. Just gone to bed. But all good, just stuff falling off shelves etc. Our piano moved quite a bit so that was trippy.

IB, beautiful hound. Way ahead of you- this arvo it's walkies up the hills behind home.

Island Bay Sunday, 20 Mar 2022 at 11:24 am new

All the best, Zen. Glad you're all ok.

AndyM Tuesday, 22 Mar 2022 at 05:50 pm new

Just picked up this bad boy, can't wait to see how it handles some decent down the line conditions.

ASH BARTY retires. Good on her. Go live a great happy life, have a family and mentor others. She just proves again how good a person she is. Does her own thing. What a champion.

stunet Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 12:08 pm new

Out of iso and just about to pick up these two weapons:

Pops Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 12:13 pm new

Nice.
One on the right looks to be a more pronounced asym? Or is that just the camera angle?

stunet Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 12:21 pm new

Yep, it's a 6'0" with about an inch of offset in the tail and the same in the fin block (quad, heel side pair are an inch more forward than toe side).

Board on the left is 6'4" with offset about half an inch.

Didn't ever feel a need for asymm on step ups or guns, but the last board I got from Dyl was right on the mark, so I figured I'd give it a punt, but just tone it down slightly.

Pops Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 12:38 pm new

Fair enough that.
Keen to hear your thoughts on both after a few sessions.

seaslug Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 01:55 pm new

Beautiful looking boards Stu, like Pops I'd be keen to hear as well

groundswell Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 05:17 pm new

Beautiful boards Stu,got to ring Patto one day and get one like that but for a goofyfooter.
Maybe one day when i move back to the nulla.

udo Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 05:23 pm new

I focus Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 05:33 pm new

Yeah big respect for the Glasser / Sander lovely looking sticks Stu

Island Bay Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 06:00 pm new

Very nice, Stu. Offset quad setup?

In more daily good news, we sold our nice house, bought a really nice house, and I got a big barrel yesterday.

seaslug Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 07:33 pm new

That defo belongs in the Good News forum, congrats IB

Hey seaslug, time for an update on Maggie May.

Island Bay Monday, 23 May 2022 at 06:14 am new

My beloved (and lovely) wife and I have been together 20 years today. Worth celebrating!

DudeSweetDudeSweet Monday, 23 May 2022 at 08:06 am new

Well done IB!

Congrats

blackers Monday, 23 May 2022 at 08:43 am new

Yes, good work IB. Its 25 for us tomorrow.

Island Bay Monday, 23 May 2022 at 08:49 am new

Well done, blackers.

And thanks, guys.

stunet Monday, 23 May 2022 at 08:59 am new

Congrats, IB. You too Blackers.

Monogamy for the win!

seaslug Monday, 23 May 2022 at 11:02 am new

Congratulations Blackers and IB from me and Maggie May.

zenagain Monday, 23 May 2022 at 12:02 pm new

Well done IB- congrats! You've made 140 husband years.

And SS, awesome for Maggie May.

If It's worth anything, I scored last night too and we went out for brekkie this morning, both in great moods.

How good is love, no matter what form it takes.

seeds Monday, 23 May 2022 at 12:14 pm new

Do you guys really count the years or remember the date? Me and my long suffering love of my life have been living in sin at the holiday inn for 24 25 maybe 26 years. I really don’t know. Must be that wedding date that sticks in your mind I guess. Congrats to everyone. It’s a hell of an achievement in this day and age to stick it out

blackers Monday, 23 May 2022 at 12:20 pm new

Thanks for the photo Seaslug, great job there. Re remembering the date, I have it engraved on the ring, and my wife likes to mention it every now and then. :)
Edit: So Zen, husband years = dog years, hmmmmmm interesting concept.

H2O Monday, 23 May 2022 at 12:29 pm new

Daily Good News for WA, not so much for Vic

"Vegan activist Tash Peterson has vowed to leave WA once again after being banned from every pub and restaurant in the State, claiming her “freedom of speech” has been taken from her. Peterson said she was “getting the f*** out of WA” and had booked a one way ticket to Melbourne with her partner Jack Higgs.
We have a one-way ticket to Melbourne and I’m going to just going to protest over there.”

Far as I'm concerned, as soon as you get your tits and sexualise things to get attention you lose a whole lot of moral integrity.

Are you referring to womens pro surfing? The butt thong looks great but as for practical application? Even less in solid surf , maybe gets a few more points from the red blooded judges or opens up the chance for a arse shot for a shitcurl/ dicksilver add?
The backs of my legs get so fried when I surf in boardies or short leg wetty much less a butt thong (maybe thats why Lakey P,s surfing looks so jerky and she seems pissed off all the time? Fried Arse ).
