Hi all,

I am on my way round the bottom corner of OZ. I am currently in Adelaide visiting Onboard after a quite sizey drive from Sydney in a very over loaded hiace.

Anyway, I will be heading across to melbourne Thursday afternoon. I will be doing a Demo at Sandringham on Sat morning at 10am (contact SHQ for more details), then another demo on Sunday (location undetirmined with the RPS crew, I will confirm and post ASAP). then making my way up the peninsula and slowly making my way home. Hopefully getting some sessions in on the way.

As I get my scheduel finalized I will post were I plan to be so I can hook up with anyone who is keen for a paddle.

Regards,

JB

Hey JB..It looks like you have room for one more board (top right)..

Will you have one of those new funny looking Naish paddles with the dove tail blade?

Demo the 9"6" quad today. Ride it in 2 foot glassy offshores. I will follow up with a more detailed review but breifly the board is a goody. The outline, rocker and width is pretty good for my weight and its easy to ride. I love quads, I already have a quad fish surfboard and a quad tow board so it' up my alley. I learnt a lot about different boards riding it.
Thanks JB

What were you listening to while you were crossing the nullarbor jb?

That's a pretty stacked up van - you must be enjoying yourself with this tour.

I've got a travel bug - Melbourne winters do that to you.

If you want some real good quality waves even better than torquay call into Portland, i asked you once if you were coming but you didnt get back ! You nearly have to go straight past the place on your way to melb

Rich I am definitely coming to Torquay for a visit. I am going to do a bit of a round a bout style as I have to be in Melbourne on the weekend for Public Demos. But I am planning to comer to Torquay maybe on Wed/Thurs. Have you got time to catch a wave around then?

PJ, pretty much, but I have got some Mistrals as well!

Brooko, I thought I replied to you with PM? I am keen to stop off along the way. How far is it from Adelaide? I might drop in there tonight depending on what time I get out of SA.

DJ, Unfortunately the new Naish paddle isn't ready yet, so only the current paddle is with me.

Oliver, do you know me??? I rock out so hard on tour, I don't know how I am not deaf. Heaps of G'N'R's, EMINEM, IZ, JAMIROQUAI, and then heaps of mixed crap on shuffle. But loud, and unfortunately I sing all the way, 16 hours of harmonic bliss!

I am still trying to lock in my public demo for Sun. I will let you all know soon where I'll be.

Speak soon,

JB
