ahh, but the dream is not to convince or convert!

A pushed cart will never run, but if the engine understands it fuel and accepts it energy, it will move!

Does a ball bounce off the ground, or is it the ground that pushes the ball back up??

Geez 6 pages in and all anyone has really discussed is IF powerbalance works.

Has anyone actually raised the issue HOW powerbalance works??

Come on then, all you true believers, hit me with the science. Tell me about the body frequency and explain how the powerbalance hologram is in tune with it or whatever.

If you cant make at least a token effort at this then your'e all just sheep following the power of suggestion

I think it's really cool how when trees move, it creates wind.

what are your thoughts?

Absolute full-on hoax. I am sad that people believe the hoax and are so easily tricked. It makes me strongly question the intelligence of people that subscribe to such products and causes me to severely prejudge them. A bit like my thoughts on (most) organised religion .


Mr Morgan likes to pick on shortborders mate, I wouldnt worry.......


i suppose that means i like to pick on myself to doggie...odd


So you like to hang out with SUPers....odd


Try and picture this Doggie unless it is a stretch...Some one who has surfed short boards for more than 20 years and in recent years enjoys getting amongst it on a SUP too. Not a SUP'r, or a shortboarder....But A surfer

gezz unleash the beast,

so if we've generated all this chatter for a multinational shall we ask them to donate something to a local rescue outfit say Westpac helicopter or Surf Life Saving Australia?

And no i have no connection with any of these outfits or Powerband.

Does anyone have any direct contact with these groups?

If you angle the hologram just right, when the light catches it it resembles a hidden swastika <obscure joke/>.

I don't think anyone would consider Mick a rocket scientist. I'm sure he could easily be convinced of the band's merits.

Hi Everyone,

I bought one up at the Noosa fest after being impressed by the balance challenge the sales guy did on me. I handed over the coin whacked in on and thought, "im feeling good". After getting super human powers I thought I would try in out in a free session out firing 5 to 6 foot Noosa point. (first session with power band!!!!) First wave of my session, I paddled into a set wave. Due to the lovely crowd and people trying to burn me on the shoulder, these people closed the wave out on me so I had to straighten out. As I straightened out, two kooks who couldnt duck dive the wave landed on me. Pinning me to the bottom. As Im getting thrashed around for what seemed like an hour and human body parts hitting me in the head, I felt the power band get sucked off my wrist into the unknown. Moral of the story!!!! I cant give you an answer.
