Bit of talking at the start of this one as John narrows down his quiver for Oz, while in the second half John has to share the limelight with brother Nathan, Luke Swanson, and a tin of Spam.

What not switch gear(s) and surf a twin-fin in those smaller conditions? I mean, if he's hunting speed and all?
