    speaking of...how 'bout duct tape as acceptable temporary ding repair? could be the worst thing for a dinged board other than just surfing it w/ the ding open to the water. where did this piece of horrid misinformation come from??

    at certain spots (none in the continental US), i'd seriously consider wearing a helmet. tom carroll wears/wore one at pipe & swears it saved his noggin more than once. i'm surprised we don't see more at chopes when it gets big.

    Bad:
    beach badges
    "In God's hand's"
    OP shorts (my God they're coming back!)

    Thought to be bad - but really are good:
    Vasa swim trainer - gets me thru winter
    Indo Board - almost broke my neck on that sucker
    Rental surf boards

    @njsurfer42: you're excused if you're surfing a wave that can kill you

    zaGaffer:
    Pope bisect. There was an FCD 8'6" on Craigs a minute back. I remember about a year ago seeing a 9'6" G&S on craigs that was Larry Gordon's personal travel board.


    Yes. Gracias, senor.

    Not technically a "product" but....."North Shore" the movie! Just pound my junk with a no bounce hammer!! And I'm not quiet sure what to make of the dude towing in a Jaws on water skis. Dude's got a set of stones on him for taking on that wave .....but water skis? What's next ....."Dude you've gotta jet ski and I've got a baby pool......lets roll!"

    it's funny you mention north shore, jim. i just finished watching it for the first time in who knows how long...don't worry, i'm washing the hollywood cheese off my soul w/ some *real* surf flicks while i wait for my fiancee to get home from dinner w/ her bridesmaids.

    I cannot imagine, I think if I were ever to be in the line up at Jaws, I say be in the line up because I would surely Sh!t myself before catching a wave....but it would leave a artisan streak in the water with notes of hazelnut and that famous Kona punch.

    Im gonna go with Black Surf wax (which I have used...ashamedly)
    Bali Single Fins in thigh high East coast slop.
