Kage, I've been asking around that very question. You can buy a VHS to DVD converter. Problem is finding a friend that has one.

campervan in NZ?

Quick question for you all. Any reason not to hire a campervan in NZ? It seems like a great idea with many benefits. Its an option not readily available elsewhere nor one I'm familiar with.

Best deal I find for 14 days is about $550nz.

Akio, not so much, I actually do utlity regulation for a living. I started the project in a friends shop (shown) and finished it in my garage. However, I'm a hands on kind of guy. I work on my own cars, paint my own art for the house and do my own remodeling etc...so I guess I have some of the requi...

Howard , thanks for the offer. It would be great to get some inside knowledge, surf with some of the kneelo community and share a few cold ones. Scott, serious, not as much as I once was. However, I still like to play a bit, at one time grades and tennis paid for my education, my friend in Sydney th...

it is done!

Well the board is done and here is what is looks like. It was a great learning experience. I would do many things differently next time but all in all the process is not that bad, not simple or easy but something I will do again. However, I think I'm building a room before I start the next one. [alb...

All I know is when I see a guy out with water goggles on I think, KOOK!Watch out for that guy! Add a helmet and I guantee no matter what you do he will run you over with his foam board before your session is over. My father told me something once when I was learning to windsurf that has never failed...
