Unannounced, a metro boardriders club decides to hold a club event at well known break (not their own) that already has an established Boardriders Club of its own.

Discuss.

Simondo, Wide bodied chicks were handy when kicking the can home at 4am in my early years.
Waking up next to them no so handy.

There was probably a really short article in the local free paper...
I know, I'm not a big fan of board-riders clubs taking over a decent wave for the best part of an entire day.

But I don't really like BMW X-5's either. I don't like working 45 hours a week for somebody-else to profit. I don't like white 5'10 pro boards (because I can't ride them!). Don't really like asparagus. Don't like seeing wide bodied chicks in track-suit pants at the supermarket (or anywhere in public for that matter). And I don't like it when men or women drown themselves in expensive fragrances, and when you can still smell them minutes after they have gone.

In turn, I'm not a boardriders member, don't drive an X-5, don't work for someone else. Don't ride white 5'10's, and don't look at wide chicks in track pants after I have spotted them, and I just laugh at those people who drown themselves in fragrances!

But that's life hey!

Sometimes life throws up other dilemmas. Like which boards to take to The Maldives, short or long sleeve rash/sun guard, which sunscreen will perform best during the many hours spent in the water surfing uncrowded perfect waves. To take booties, and if so, invest in warm water reef booties... How many pairs of boardies, three or four? Throw in the 1mm vest? Pack a bottle of bourbon or whiskey? Life's a bitch!

All round LB and a mid length... Your Evo and the yellow Rincon would be sweet... Not much duck diving but paddle can be a biatch.....

short or long sleeve rash/sun guard,

long.... Unless you tan really well. For me I'd take 2 long sleeve and worst comes to worst, just surf in a T shirt.... Early is ok shirt off, if your a tanner, if your a burner cover up...

which sunscreen will perform best during the many hours spent in the water surfing uncrowded perfect waves.

Clear Zinc, for your head.... And Don't take banana boat, bananas and boats don't mix.....


To take booties, and if so, invest in warm water reef booties...

Nope don't need them, we didn't wear them at all... Took them, wore them first surf than not again.


How many pairs of boardies, three or four?

4, it's all you will wear.

Throw in the 1mm vest?
Nope, you won't need it, it is hot in the water....26 ish

Pack a bottle of bourbon or whiskey?

Nope, you won't get it through customs, Muslim country they will confiscate it, also porn, but sneak some in and your boat crew will love you... If you want a bottle, gin or vodka in a water bottle is the best option...

Life's a bitch!

And your a bastard...... And pack ya camera....

I like this camera. I think this would be a good choice for shooting from the boat in the channel, and taking into the line-up occasionally.
