I was just flicking through the latest copy of Surfing World (OZ) and trying to get past all the freaking boardshort ads when... What Do I See? Page 106 Photo of Chayne Simpsom (Float Waft!) by Steen Barnes. Fantastic Work Steen!!! Possibly brought on by a letter to the Mag from Bobby Reynolds (GO B...

No, Kev, its my board and you're not getting a go!! Mine, mine, mine! (my pretty!!)

I am looking for that elusive of all creatures....'The All-rounder"!! I surf so many days where it is crap that I needed a bit more foam but with the ability to take advantage of that lucky great day. We ultimately went for 6'2 1/2", 24+ & 27/8s. Double flyer flat tail with 'big' glass...

hahahahaha

Its a bit hard when you are wearing all black with black flippers and paddling like a injured seal!!

After deliberating long and hard over a new board, I finally went down to Strapper and ordered a custom from Michael Di. I forgot that exhilarating feeling of talking designs, fin placement, fins and glass weights and how good a talk with you board designer is!!! Michael made my early boards during ...

Went for a surf last week at West Coast (Torquay) on the way to ordering a new board from Michael Di @ Strapper (Photos to follow!). Bells and Winkipop were a bit crowded so we continued down to Spout Creek. 6 foot of clean beach peak with only 6 out! Before we went in 3 guys came out and said that ...

As usual, you guys blow me away with the in-depth knowledgeable discussion from a seemingly harmless post! How you guys get time (and surf) to play around with degrees of cant, etc is mind blowing. Im lucky that my board is in the car with possibly 4 of some sort of black fins still on in when I get...

I saw a Nov Hot Buttered Rainbow graphic board on ebay the other day! Took me back 25 or so years (sorry Michael) to when I started. Nov was the inspriration for many kneelos then and we have a lot to thank him for now!! However, Nov was also responsible for more kneelos landing head first on the re...

Stanley, you got it man!! Great surf, good friends!! AWESOME. We are lucky lucky people!

Skived off from Work on the Thursday and Friday arvos! Suicide at Leo on Friday was freaking scary with well overhead sets coming through. Got eaten by a 6-8 footer when it hollowed out over a suck-rock and had saltwater injection into almost every orifice!! Surfed Suicide Saturday morning and Sunda...

Went to Swellnet last week to see how crap the waves still were (sigh) but was stoked to see Steen's photo spread. Kneelos on the net! Great Work!! (as usual!)

YOU GUYS ROCK!!! here I was having a s*&^ day, no swell, no surf, working like a dog. I just read all the posts on this subject and you guys make me laugh (in a good way!). Thanks for lifting me up! Have a Merry and Safe Christmas and I hope the new year brings more swell! To all ...peas on eart...

I found a guy online that make custom seam-sealed (very important in the long cold day of Vic Winter) soft booties. $65 a pair any size. Warmest booties I have every had! Great workmanshipo and a pleasure to deal with. his email is rubberknite@westnet.com.au

Still got the Wilko board I bought off eBay as I haven't had a chance to get to Pt Leo to hand it over! . Just looking at the shape, the fins and the logos takes me back!!! Where do all the old surfboards go to die? I had about 6 Trigger kneeboards back in the day and I am not sure where any of them...

Trigger Brother (Pt Leo) is continuing with its board museum at the Pt leo shop! However, I noted that there is a complete lack of kneeboards in this collection. I just bought the 80s Wilko board that was on eBay for $50 and am going to donate it to the collection. Anybody out there got any early Tr...
