Do you remember the Japanese Cartoon Astroboy by Mushi Productions and what the cars looked like in that show. We all drove Detroit and British shapes then. Now we we buy Japanese the current cars shapes are a subliminal plot to get us to buy Transformers now that we can no longer justify buying the toy ones. They have the smiling faces in the front, drive a Tamagotchi today and if I knew how to post pictures on a forum I would prove itAdvice needed for the last part

An interesting phenomena is when I go from my shorty to my longy i often bury the nose to the length of the shorty on the first couple of steep take offs then I'm fine.I think this may be what others do to???????Variety makes you flexible in skill and attitude. Boards are not to blame, the attitude driving them can be! Each type of board presents different ways to give or lose respect.Loggerrythms are not rocket science.wicked

JW the fin it came with was a Pope floating fin. Very broad base and in short period beach breaks was like turning a barge.Using 7" centre fin, I am using a hatchet fin in my short board (8') with Future fins 3/6/4 vector fins with a variable rake and cant they suit the break where I live well, even control on the foam ball when I occasionally visit it, sometimes I even make it back outtongueBoth boards need down the line speed and function and good turning arc.I know the bisect will only take Future fins as the outriders centre fin try it as you wish.As for the trisect how are you in the weight for age stakes?I improved my surfing way out by losing 20kgs my health too currently 100kgs momentum through turns.

I'm a bisectual with a 9' mango, very happy with it...... packs away in its travelbag and you get a lot of interest when you pull it out and assemble it, ten minutes set up.No flipping fronts weighs about normal mal weight! structurally 2X4'6" segments are stronger than a normal board. The big fin they supplied doesn't suit me and would be better for Californian type waves. Australian short period waves you might want to tune the fins, I'm using Future Fin Vectors and a selected shorter fin but tune to your tracks not mine.Very pleased with all aspects now I have the fin factor finessed.Cost is a little radical at first but when you consider that local small airline wanted to charge $300 each way to get to Sydney and back Nah!!!!Also it is my ambition to surf the Mascaret for my sixtieth birthday wine bar to wine bar.Tread softly and carry a big stick

Loved surf mats used to do Little Avalon regularlyRecommend medium inflation ( of mat not money) so you can flex sides between concave and convex hold rail or release, try it and see It's extreme, and like all puffed up activities, one prick can ruin your day. Cunji sucks and is the mats natural enemy!Welcome to the world below boogie on street cred tho, but I'm sixty so argus!tongue

Don't use it on a condom either, pointless no skin sensation and it dissolves it nuf said.surpriseGood news is you don't need a wetsuit in Indo.

The hot and cold is good leave a little time to go to normal temperature between each change. Try arnica tablets they may be treated as suss in Indo.... if you have any medications from Australia try to have a script can save hassles.There is a liniment called Zen that is good... You have to declare Chinese medicines but they are for personal use!Tiger balm before the surf helps but dissolves wetsuits and greases board.Hope this helps. Remember first aid RICE; Rest Ice Compression and Elevation helps at the first stage of injury.Good luck warm water barrels best cure
