It's kind of like going back in time.
Fond memories and a few former usernames floating around then.
I like Macs comment about me leaving my paddle at the door ( in reference to me coming from the darkside).
I don't post as much these days but the Greenroom will always be a special place.

....... stand that avatar up scotty maaaaaaate ....... slowly ......... 'gis a gander at them luvverly legs

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Scotty. Some gold in there thats for sure. Loved this piece from Mac or was it 62Mac, or macaha or Indian or Foxsup or someone else - could never keep up

I live in vanders street and eat chrispy donuts on my way to lacey's lane too many dog's out I asea

Funny Scotty,did it take long to search? Was Lacey ever known as Lacey Lane Some classic lines in there.

2012 hey I was just a rum drinking smoking fat kid in those days not much has changed other than I gave up the rum and the cigs

my memory isn't great, but I do know that back then, when it came to buying boards, I slavishly followed trends, thinking "if it worked for them, it must work for me".

I now know I need to find what's right for me, not for others.

I wish I could remember the name of the person who told me to get rid of my side fins when I complained that I could not catch waves very well. Single (no pun intended) best bit of advice I've ever been given, I don't think I've ever ridden a multi fin board since that day.

Hey Obct, While we are all tripping down memory lane, it looks like you had a light bulb moment in early 2010 thanks to P co (but this may not be time you are referring to):

There sure is plenty of wisdom (and other stuff) in the Breeze archives.

I can't believe I've been here almost 7 years.

The only encouraging aspect of that is, at under 3000 posts in total, I may not be as big a looser as I could have been.

I've got to get a life
