With the shapers looking at alternatives to foam, one person has been on a quest long before the Clark debacle to use sustainable resources to build boards. His name is Danny Hess. He's a well respected waterman here in San Francisco and for the past 5 years he's been refining his techniques with va...

Hah! Bob invited me to go with him this weekend on the boat trip. I couldn't make the trek but good to know about his boat karma. I may be a strong paddler but not with an oar! OB was BLOWN to bits by straight westerlies. Santa Cruz probably had surf. Friday was the cleanest day but not enough time ...

These things take time to coordinate let me tell you! I figured the Aussies would have enough blokes coming over to charter their own flight. Word has it Stapo's going to fly the plane! If it was anything like my flight to Bali from Sydney, look out! The more the merrier and Ross... do you need a ca...

Gray,

As for orignial fins, contact David Parkes directly. I think he's got the fins but they need to be foiled.

Wow. Brings back memories.... I went to Aus in '84 with a few $ in my pocket and not much else. Ended up staying for 6 months as the USD was going fairly well. I picked up a Knormal shaped by Albert Whiteman from the Hot Buttered shop. Albert was there and he was a trip! I tried to ride it for a few...

Well, it's true. The family Jamie referenced is the Harris family. We'll be heading over Nov 7 and return on Nov 25. One week in Philip Island, one week heading up the coast and a couple days in Sydney. Lot's of time to plan for this and we are can't wait to see everyone. And now back to the Ed &...

In a perverse way, I'm OK with boards costing a little more. Unfortunately, the increase is NOT going to the shapers. These are interesting times. We'll see a more global influence becasue of the US foam situation. Jack, good luck on your quest. Getting boards from other countries puts the shipping ...

http://www.ksusa.org/Forum/templates/subSilver/images/NSG-slick.jpg Well, it’s that time again and because you supported previous movies such as The Sparrow has Landed and Friends and/or The Sparrow “Now & Then”. We want you all to know that the next long awaited DVD by Simon Farrer called “NSG...

All, Just a quick note under this thread to let you know the organizers (usual suspects 8) ) are working to get the lodging, nightly venue, sponsors, entry form and sponosors lined up. We'll post the info on the homepage very shortly. Looking to have most of this stuff nailed by the end of August. H...

Good discussion... We're listening over here in the US ... we don't offer cash prizes for our comps. Friendships and good times are the rewards for now. Sponsors donate boards and gear which we use to sell raffle tickets. We assemble some of the donations in lots and offer gear as the prizes for top...

Well, I guess I'll come clean... Bonnie got me a shark suit for my birthday in May. It's huge! I can't really put it on by myself so I had to wait until last week when I had someone who could help me. I've only put it on a few times and try to do it when the fog is out so no one sees me enter the wa...

Tony, Age my friend, age. Happens to the best of us. I've had my bouts with back problems usually half way through our surf season. As much as I would like to avoid it, stretching seems to help but I think it's more of a consistent effort and not one where it solves a problem. Bill Lerner (BillL on ...

Dan,

My cousin is origanally from Aptos and is getting married - Morgan aka Gary Bowen hence our trip. He relocated from Puerto Escondido to Kauai and is pretty well set. There are a lot of SC'ers over there!

I'm set for car / lodging / etc. just thought I'd hook up w/ a local KBer or two!

Don

I'm heading over to Kauai and thought I'd ask for local knowledge of summer surf spots. I'll be staying in Hanalei but will have wheels... probably squeak 1 or 2 surf days out if possible...

Any thoughts? Anyone there who wants to hook up?

Cheers,

Don

North of Town is good for me.... Sunday the size should come up from a wind swell... could be strong NW winds... let's track this tomorrow and make a call for Sat or Sun.

Cheers,
