Yes, you stole perhaps our best player! We're still going well though. To be honest, I was getting a bit over both Bomber (Coach) and Ablett last year. They were both so grumpy with each other!

Great pickup (Ablett) for Gold Coast though. We'll see what he's made of now. Although it might take a while for him to hit his straps with the team. Individually can't really fault him, but in a new team....... it's gonna be very interesting to see how they/he goes and the boys down at the cattery as well.

Sorry guys, but I love my footy, the Fireball gets it's second swim in about 60minutes see yas

My board DID ARRIVE, at 10:20am yesterday (Friday), but nobody was home, and they didn't call me either.... Saw a consignment note this afternoon in the letterbox ! So it's coming back like a boomerang on Tuesday now.

So it would have been available for the weekend afterall !!

All good things come to those who wait !

Is there a tribe name Mc, or was that a rhetoric one (the question)?

I was chatting to a mate who is younger and more in the know than me today.
I mentioned the new logger crew increasing in numbers and he said its only the start of the new tribe and will fill me in next week when I pick up the new board.

He will also take delivery of a 9.4 Redline custom in black,pink and sky blue tint,I'll get a pic of that one.

Lions are on soon,be interesting how they go this year.I don't know if they recruited much,I don't really follow AFL,one of my best mates was a legend and that kind of got me going to a few home games in his day.

YES YES YES,everyone needs a log,just spent three days in Noosa and without a log it would have been a disappointing time.

First couple of days were small but super fun trimming down the line on my log,it got a little bigger yesterday arvo and swapped boards to HP and within 20 mins I was back on the log trimming and really having a great time.

OH logs are fun

Never tried a soft railed mal (is that what you mean by a log?) but I'm thoroughly infatuated with my 9'6" Redline.

Full of surprises and hot hot hot

Speaking of redline's I got talking with a bloke the other day down at Snapper during the week who had a redline & he told me he now uses his 9'6 redline as his everyday board, telling me he's surfed it all around Bali & it's reef breaks, taken it to Hawaii & said it's done it all, he said he could have used a little more speed at times but generally he rated it as a great all rounder.

I watched him from the hill at GM & he could certainly back up what he was saying, saw him get 3 tubes & he was throwing it around like it was a performance board, great to watch & gave me a new perspective on what you can do if you spend the time learning & committing to one board.

I saw another bloke paddling out on a Noosa 66 & he was also shreading it up, I would have never thought of taking such a board out in those conditions but these blokes had the skill to back it up.

Now seriously thinking of trading my 10' redline on a shorter version.

The Redline definately seems to be a more versatile board that will handle bigger waves. I wouldnt mind having a go on one.

That's a beauty Lil

On the redline front I think half the reason they go so well is that harder rail down the back near the fin. Looking towards the next longboard thinking single fin but want the hard rail aft for the local beach breaks I max out at around 9'8" because that's the upper limit of Virgin Blue Virgin Australia (better check all they changed is the bloody name) I think 9'6' - 9'7" is as big as I'll go currently.

The maximum 9'8" on Virgin is a coincidence, on friday I was down at Dripping Wet in Manly and I mentioned to Andrew how I was tempted to buy a pig board.

He said he had something similar that was a bit unusual, it turned out to be a Waxa, the only place I have ever seen them has been up at the sugarmill in Narrabeen.

It was 9'8" x 23.5 and although it was too parallel on the rail to be a pig, it was pulled in very sharply on the tail.

Looked to be a really strong board with wheat looked to be 3 cedar stringers and a volane glass job with an interesting green resin tint swirl on the bottom.
