obct said..Speaking of ads, how do they do that one on the telly at the moment where they have a sh!tload of old codgers surfing the one wave?
Me and a mate were discussing it this arvo, we thought it was just a half dozen or so people on one wave and the rest was done with a kind of photoshop?
I told him that I have access to the greatest pool of surfing knowledge on the plant,

I lied, that's why I asking the seabreeze longboard group

Hey Obct, my thoughts on that ad:
1. Looks like CGI/special effects. If you freeze frame through the last bit, you can identify the same surfers further along (I think). I reckon that white board with the blue nose is there a couple of times. But they still got a heap of surfers on one wave (there's at least 14 at the 19 sec mark, and looks like another couple will get up) Then I reckon they tricked it up using different waves/footage from the same session. Anyway, that's how it looks to me, but I'm often wrong.
2. That old biddy gets to her feet better than I do.
3. Now bloody Tom Carroll's getting paid to drop in. I remember when he'd do it for free.
