the official beer garden experiment movie

The concept involved giving to charity first and foremost with the joy of a surfboard being thrown in for us all to play on. Lets not forget this. Great concept. Clearly it has not gone as speedy as some hoped but its not the end of the world. Chrispy went out of his way to try and line up some BIG deals that would have seen all of those who contributed benefit but more importantly the CHARITY was going to benefit BIG TIME! He also turned down people who were trying to get on the band wagon...he put a lot of time and effort into bringing this concept to fruition and then taking it far beyond.

I think he should be shown a bit more respect for his efforts. In recent times he has started a new business and it has taken most of his time up. Ask him when he last had more than a single surf in a week let alone several. He has also recently moved house - something that we all know is not a lot fun - let alone the time and effort required before hand to find your new house to live.

I still think its a great idea. The board has been made and it will go ahead. If anyone wants out feel free to send me your details and I will send you your $50 donation back. I am happy to make a larger donation to the disabled surfers as I have a very fortunate life compared to many of them. You probably do as well.....but I bet you do not hear many of them complaining about their situation.

Dude - I just got soaked (still pissing down here) heading down to the garage to check on yr tie-downs - they are there. I had completely forgot about them. I will drop them off next time I am driving past yr side of the Lake.

For the record I speak with Chrispy often. Last time I was on the Gold Coast he came and picked me up from the train station and took me surfing with asea. I had a blast. We had not met previously. He then took me all over the Goldie to all the factory shops so I could chase down some decent savings and grab a few bargains. He treated me to lunch. He then dropped me back at the Train station. For the majority of the 6 hours I spent in his company I laughed my asse off. Top bloke.

Plus 1 Ted , have yet to get up to the gold coast and yet to meet Mac and Chrispy but both have offered me the use of boards while I am up there .pretty generous of both of them .

The original concept has been a bit lost but I thought the main deal was to get the board and any spare cash to the disabled Surfers .if I get to surf the board all good if I don't it's all good too .I get to surf my own gear most days so can't complain .

This isn't meant as a dig at Dude who is a long long time member on here , it's just the way I see it .

I think a big breathe, and it will all seem better

I don't think any offense was ment from either side but times are tight, business are slow, people are time poor and some of us have health issues.

We all have a reason to need to blow of some steam from time to time and i think a simple missunderstanding has occured and i think a shaking of hands and we can move on

Preferably with out people trying to make this something its not..

At least thats my take on it..If im wrong flame away, cause im going home

Excellent post JB and Ted.

Asea your longestand best post to date mate well said,I knew the nice guy would come out

He knows I rate him highly Lacey

Hi all,

Just wanted to let everyone know that all (every cent by everybody) of the funds donated are safe and sound earning 4.5% with the big Red W waiting for the appropriate direction to the charity of choice. I spoke with Chrispy today and all good. Hopefully catch up with Chrispy and ASEA over the weekend.

Cheers

Daneli

PS That looks like some nasty **** going on for you Dude. Mate I hope it comes together for you but please if you haven't sought some medical advice yet, it is time to go.

wow. i have not read all the posts as im pretty offended by it all really.
first thing. this all started as a experiment when i was not working and only studying. to do something cool and something really good by helping people who need a hand to enjoy the stoke. plus have a cool movie that the generations could watch

i agree that things have not gone as fast as what i/we all wanted(yet i will post why later)but it is still all good and will end up great(i have ripped out to much hair to fail) i have always posted openly and honestly, and have offered the board and camera to ever wants it.

the money thing...that is a big ****ing wow. i have not touched one cent as daneli has opened a nice interest earning account to look after it. i will say this now. i asked steve del to say nothing. yet i payed for the deck inlay, i paid the difference for the blank shape. i paid for the board bag. i also paid for the beer garden bbq. so yes im pretty pissed that my name has been slushed.

doggie i was a fence sitter as i never really judge someone till i have met them...but you are a piece off ****.

dude,you have not paid one cent into this...so nuff said there. yet dude,when your life was falling apart and you needed to talk... well my shoulder was always there and i stuck by my word to you. so **** off now.

i still want this to be a bionically cool thing. so i will lift my game and start a un trashed thread.
