Welcome back Scotty - we (well definitely me

) have missed you

No great surprise in yr choice

Tom Curren (please note the spelling LL)

is the one for me then Shaun at Pipe / Backdoor is a joy to behold as is Gerry. Terry Fitz at J-Bay in some of the old footage is mental. He really was the Sultan of Speed. George Greenough always looks divine - even if he doesn't stand up

Thanks Ted.
Did you get on Manly tonight ?

No domination but I made it to the end in 4:46...too bad for 45km...I might have spied a couple of OK spots to go back and check as well...amazing what you see when your running instead of driving

Well done - great effort. And all the better if you found a new spot or two to hit

Nice find T-Dog - I recall that wave! Jeepers - how big is his board - today he would probably be riding something significantly shorter in equiv waves yet he just through that one round easily enough. You can really see where the Parko top turn came from in that clip.

Yep Ted the long rail line probably accentuates the style on his turns. I am from California but to prove I'm not biased - Buttons and Terrry Fitzgerald also deserve a mention! I am of the Dogtown & Z Boys generation though

MR MR MR MR MR MR MR MR MR. Tudor is smooth and centres his weight well over the board, as does Slater. Did I mention MR? Best ever and a top bloke.
