Bullshizz...
It's all quality...
Eg.
How to warm up for a surf.
boys, its getting a little hot in here.
and macs just sitting back laughing and punching out gold.
chrispy has found his man for boards and he's a fine shaper.
I started way back with murry. later on got involved with dhd's boards.
then that craze/fad started to really kick in the 2010's.
dale was my 666 man. learnt a lot of him and gained a lot of info
shorties and a shaper, well im just running with what I can see in front of me atm.
and even shortboards the price a creeping up there.
give it another 5 years and most surfers will have at least one off shore board
ps it will take the full term of 5 years for some
What's wrong with pop outs?
If I get time one day I'll tell you exactly from the inside out why offshore boards have become popular... We'll start at amateur business practice, move through retailer relations and then move on to a business intent to undercut itself into the red and wish it was still 1972 with nobody out at 'The Point'
Most will say 'price' is the reason. The Irony of that is that the most popular boards on the market now are made offshore, cost more than domestic boards in stores and feature construction technology that only 1% of the Aussie industry has any ability to create.
Flame suit on...... Let's do this.

What is classified as a pop-out? Stock rack boards?
I am aware of this CMC but in todays market I would have thought surftech would be one I guess and at an extreme level JS and CI?

Well actually the new Surftech Tufflites take a bunch more work than any PU/Poly so by definition of something 'popping out' it couldnt be any further from that.
They'll also sell for a higher price.
I believe the term pop out now generally refers to any boards made in Asia.

Agree on surftech but with the construction (as there is no real shaper other than the original design) they would be more of a pop out than any other type of construction?

They are still shaped by a shaper and mostly use Aku Shaper to pre-cut them also. Even fully moulded boards with specific moulded cores to the shape are still shaped to templates by shapers.
Perhaps the definition extends to any board not shaped directly by the designer as a one off design?

That vid is a classic That is GOLD, I saw a bloke doing that on the grass near our local carpark in his speedos,right next to the surf club kiosk,very entertaining for all the cafe latte crew,he had a bit of trouble doing it as well in the surf but I'm sure he'll get there sometime
Don't know if anyone read this in the paper but good story.
This is a summary from beachgrit.com
For those unawares, Kurt Bush is a 36 year old NASCAR driver from Las Vegas, Nevada. He has won lots and whatever but I don?t care about that. I care that, yesterday, he testified, under oath, in court, that his girlfriend Patricia Driscoll was a ?trained assassin who was dispatched around the world to kill drug lords and Islamists.?
He asserted that her assassin missions took her everywhere from central America to south to the Middle East to Africa. That she would use ?long range sniper rifles, poison and knives.? That she once told him, ??I take down foreign governments. I own Washington.? And that once, in El Paso, Texas, she left him, ??in camouflage gear only to return later wearing a trench coat over an evening gown covered with blood.?
And that?s why he smashed her head against the wall (which is why he testified under oath), because he was afraid for his life. But he also didn?t smash her head against the wall, saying that he, ?cupped her cheeks in his hands, looked her in the eye and told her she had to go.? But her head might have tapped the wall in the process.

mate I still trained Tuesday and this morning. actually doing wash leads with beau and ben- not what planned to do but old habits die hard.

however training/sup ping is going to be all anymore. if im tired or have to be at work Ill be giving it a miss

this could be very informative and stuff,
if we approach in a mature well mannered way.
ps where's mac and chrispy the gutless wonders
I'm here whats up
I stand my ground a popout is a board made in a mould mainly from Asia.
I have seen lots of poor shaped boards from so called reputable brands that have been ghost shaped/ finished here in Oz that are worse than the so call ed Asian poip out. I have no issue with boards out of Asia. I embrace technology. Bring it on I say. Why are most people still using the same technology as 50 yrs ago? Laziness and scared of change I reckon.
Bring it on CMC - add some fuel to the fire and slap these old school diehards down

Nothing better than walking into a factory and smelling all that dust and wet glass.
Something you have over indulged over the years

I'm actually looking forward to getting it written.
Before I start though... I need to be clear that I mean no disrespect to anyone in the Industry in any way shape or form. I was the grom who stopped in at every surfboard factory on my ride home from school. In those days it was Darby, Al Byrne, Madda, Hot Stuff as well as scouring the reject sticker bins at Rhema Graphics and hoping to see a Cheetah model or 2 at Print'N'Wear. My Mum sewed legropes for Connection who distributed sunnies and other cool surf stuff. She also worked with a girls surf brand, my old man surfed. Through Mum I got offered an apprenticeship at one of the cooler factories but as she knew what went on there was having none of it. As long as I can remember this is what I wanted to do for a job.
I have complete respect for the Aussie Industry and nobody wishes more than me that it would open its eyes and get in front of the game rather than what is now being way behind it. We taught others how to make racing cars and stayed driving the same ones.....
Anyway, work to do here. Wil try to find time to give my rundown soon.

I want to sit down and have a beer with this bloke
Evening all... I have to say that while Mavericks is a beast of a wave, it also looks like an unpredictable and crappy one to me. On almost all the other great heavy waves of the world the risk is balanced out a bit by the possibility of getting the barrel of your life or something. (Not that i would be out there anyway) Here, you freeze your arse off and then get absolutely smashed. Still, I enjoyed this clip and Jamie's reaction when he watches film of his epic wipeout....
yes thats a great watch wavelength. thanks
