Tux - that is a wonderful idea - I am still waiting for my 4/3 on order to arrive so no Victorian winter trip just yet sadly. I can not see myself ever taking the log on the plane with me. Just looked at the charts and its very very tempting to hop on a plane - if only the water was a bit warmer 
Vanders - indeed !!!!
Water is not much of a problem when your surfing a 3 foot left by yourself for 2 hours....swell hasn't really kicked yet but the offshore is getting stronger
