    Balls of fricken steel those buggers. I was watching something the other night where these 2 mates, Ozzys I think, went around the world big wave surfing. They were not young either. Had to be towed in by jet-ski. The waves were that big and close to reefs, they wore helmets FFS!
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Always wanted to get to Biarritz. Never made it out if the South.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Elb is famous in the surfing world, hes on surfs up. Hes the penguin with short legs, round body and a big head. Apparently he didnt need much of a make over for this part. Hes also plays himself in the hobbit , but there was no surfing in that movie so mite be hard to pick him out.

    PS when Elb talks about long boards, they are really 6 ft thrusters to the rest of us.

    Mate now days, anything over head height, 4' is big. Prefer 2' 3' sup fun waves. I cut my teeth on Auckland West Coast waves, to me bigger was better in those days. Mind you was also younger, fitter, and more bullet proof. Oh how things change. This year Whitianga bar was 4mtrs, Son (Hot Water Beach life Guard) says lets do it Dad. Dad say says Son if I can't swim it I don't surf it, very wise.

    With your age has come wisdom GA
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
