The pink seaweed in Vicco is the best one to eat... Pink Seaweed occurs year round, but it is rarer in Winter...

The green sea lettuce is also very nice...




Yum... looking at 'the pink' makes my mouth water! It's a truely beautiful seaweed... Easy on the eye, easy on the taste buds!

Are you a Longboarder thinking about going a bit shorter? I highly recommend it.

The BobSled & CarverFish are great starting points. The 7'4 to 7'10 range is a great starting point too. Adjust width and thickness to suit your weight and preference. Don't be afraid to stay wide and thick for comfortable paddling power, almost as good as your longboard.

If you're already getting to your feet really fast, and making at least 9/10 take-offs on your Malibu (9+ footer), and if you don't have something shorter, you should think about these dimensions... 7'8 x 21 x 3". That would suit someone around 6 foot, and 90 kilos. If you are shorter/lighter, or heavier/taller, think along the lines of either 7'2 x 20"3/4 x 2"7/8 or 7'11 x 21"1/2 x 3"1/8. (or 3" but retain foam volume elsewhere).

They will slide down the line like a log can, in knee high / above knee high point breaks. But when it gets head high and a bit more punch, they will zip off the bottom, pivot hard off the top, and you can also allow them to do beautiful long drawn out bottom turns too. Play around with the fins... Have fun!

Mine is a Golden Dawn from Bells Beach.

Just been thinking, with the new board being an all rounder is there a need/want to have a log style board?

I've got the 10' redline but can't help thinking I'd like a more traditional style log for those smaller glassy days.

So who's got one & what do you think of them?

I would be more than interested to see what you are surfing
