But it looks the goods Scotty, perfect for you mate. get out there

Well that makes me feel all masculine now.

I saw that one after I saw yours, it looks alright to. Thought I'd save the lady sup bit

I reckon you got a good deal.


As for fins

You can get fins from Bennet, think they are DION, or you can get them through Soul surf in manly.

I reckon OBCT is spt on to start go a big single, somewhere around 9 -9.5 dolphin and a nice wide base for drive, the fatboy I have would be okay, if you want to give it a run just pm your address.

So Scotty - time to fess up.......have you used this new board of yours? If not why the hell not??? There has been heaps of wave options since you got it so no real excuses if you ask me

I knew you'd be busting my balls sooner or later.
Your Honour, I received the fore mentioned longboard on Tuesday 3rd October between the hours of 3pm & 4pm. The week following was encountered by large swell and cyclonic like winds which made my re-entry (boom,boom) to surfing rather difficult. Last week I made the decision at short notice to travel interstate to surprise my lovely mother on her birthday. I departed Sydney airport at 9:45am on Tuesday 9th October arriving at Sunshine Coast at 10:15 (local time). I then departed Sunshine Coast 10:45 am local time and arrived in Sydney on my return flight at 1:15pm Thursday 11th October (local time). I put it to the court that I simply did not have any farken spare time. And with respect Your Honour I am hoping to get out there for the 'early' tomorrow morning.
If it would satisfy the court Your Honour I would like to add that I am dead keen to get back out there and in no means making excuses.

Nice board Scotty bargain price .

Love the fin Ted which board is that going in

The new one....templates are basically finished just need to check them against the boards I stole them off then it will be game on to finish the sanding. I am going for a tear drop concave under the nose. Just a shallow one.

I shall post some pics when I get the chance to work on it a bit more. In all honesty it will be next week sadly as this week has filled up fast already

I am getting my sh1t ready for my first early in 2 decades.
I will leave the side bites off as reccomended but where is best to place my single fin ?
Halfway along the box or what ?

ONYA Scotty enjoy,I guess you will have two issues,one popping up and the other not have a paddle to lean on/balance,will take some time to adjust.

"Getting Back Out There"

There were 2 guys on the trip to the Maldives, who hadn't surfed for 28 and 24 years. They were great buddies back in the 70's and they had surfed heaps back then. They were as rusty as old nails on Day 1 & 2. But by Day 7 they had really found their feet again. Awesome! Like riding a bike... you never really forget.

yeeeeeeeeewwwww go hard scotty... you be getting a few by now

We got daylight saving remember. Just pulled up in the car park.

News flash 

It's just been reported that a southern beaches man is under investigation for soliciting sex from other men using the pretext of getting assistance with his wetsuit zipper.

He's described as male, caucasian, of medium height and wearing a rabbitos rashy with the words, " sorry for the snaking" written on the front and "sorry for dropping in" written on the back.

Police advise to use caution when approaching him, and if you drop your wallet, don't bend down in front of him..

Well my first surf in 17 years was fun although I only caught one wave which was a face plant due to taking too long to pop up. Surf was waist high and tide was full so not too many opportunities and where did all this crowd come from ?
I am 30 kegs heavier then when I last surfed and it shows when I attempt to stand up. I had a good paddle up and down to get as much execise out as I could. My aim is to surf as much as I can over the next month and looking for gradual improvement.
You never lose the surf sense and I thoroughly enjoyed my time out there.

Mac, yes the pop up is the challenge.
OB, I actually found a sheila to zip me up.
Ted, Yeh I'm that ripped.

Edit: Ted, re: Bra boys - that's funny.

Nice work Scotty - glad to see you are back out there and enjoying yrself. In a few weeks you will be dominating no doubt.

He who has the most fun wins Scotty

yeh right scotty that is just a farked effort buddy

Ted the Kiwi said...
Nice news report obct......I just heard a news flash of an un-identifed object being dragged by a surfboard through the impact zone with 30 Bra Boys chasing............

Was this you Scotty? And if so who was the nice looking bird?

Would love , I mean hate to see what happened if old mate slipped and dropped her on his head .
I would expect the outcome for him would be death by suffocation ,unless of course he has a snorkel in his back pocket we can't see

, what a way to go
