Boofy, I don't think they will budge on the $475 and I don't want to lose it either.
There bluff wins.


You gotta add a finders fee to that..... I'll send you the invoice...

So are you going to go to $475. I'd go back say yeah $475, if you throw in a leggie..

That board looks awesome for you!
You need at least 2 Longboards to understand what you want/need as your 3rd board!

To be honest, I felt weird about you bargaining over $25...

For my last purchase, Bells & Winki were firing, I had the wetsuit on, board waxed, I was pumped, and I placed a quick call to McTavish to order board 18393, and I didn't even ask for them to include freight... But it is a hand shaped Bob McTavish, already discounted... So the discounts were runnig out... FAST!

Pay your way... Don't haggle the suppliers too much... They struggle to make a dollar too. You are paying for sport, art, & form... and fun!

I wasn't haggling over $25 - I'm no tightarse. Will be fixing it up tomorrow and hopefully see it next week. BTW how much for a springy these days ?

I'm under the weather anyway so probably wouldn't be up to it.
I'm getting soft in my old age.

Got it on Tuesday and it's still sitting in the hallway.
Should open on weekend and will post pics.
I'm under the pump at work atm and haven't had a chance to unpack.
No hurry as it's only been 17 years since last surf.

Fingers crossed no damage.
Heading over northside for a couple of jobs in the morning and in the search for a springy. Must be due for a green room lunch OB,Ted. Ted gets charged rent he's been hanging at The Wharf Bar so much lately.

That sounds like a great idea Scotty but I can not make it until after Oct 18th as I am snowed under as well....I am only getting one surf a day in at the moment - thats how busy I am!! I have just been moaning to the fianc? that I will probably have to miss my morning beach time tom as I have to be in the City for a meeting at 9:30am ahhh could probably do both but it would be a rush and the surf looks average tom.

If you are hunting for a wettie on the northside tom make sure you have a look at

longreefsurf.com.au/wetsuits

They always have great prices. Julian at Surfection Mosman is a good man to deal with as well - he will always cut you a deal - just ask him.

and if you're at Manly, check DrippingWet, they had their wetty Sale signs out last weekend.

Their range and sizes will be nothing compared to the longy shop.
