Don't think they have been around long enough for laws to be considered. That might have to wait until there is an accident/incident. Not even fully sure how they work. Can they simply plough through a pack of people if the rider falls off? Did note that pretty much all surf craft except kneeboards ...

Those dolphins sure know how to celebrate their birthday in style! Personally an SUP would have been my pick! How many candles on the fish cake I wonder? Then again a mate had a motorised longboard cruise past him the other day. JFK, John Lennon and this news are etched into memory as momentous but ...

Wetsuit thickness

Any Victorian surfers or cooler water surfers getting by over winter wearing a quality 3/2? By quality I mean taped seams etc. I have surfed warmly through three winters with a 4/3 that was only glued and blind stitched. However it has not really leaked that much as yet. I am wearing an Xcel which I...

Just got out from the fourth surf from four days of school holidays...one a day, quite a treat! The fun continues with the prediction of today's 2 to 3 being the smallest waves over a 10 day period.

Victorian surfers are in for an autumn treat over the next week or so with the deep southern ocean generating some outstanding fetch winds aimed straight at us. Included in the mix is a"bombing low" on top of the already corduroy lines. Its been some time since we have had something like t...

Without doubt I am a much better surfer because of this site and its connections. Surfing takes surfing but it also takes some thinking and the threads provided the food for those thoughts. Photos too!

Good wishes to all involved :wink:
