Remember these?
June 28, 2007 – 6:31 pm
I still want one 30 years down the line. At the time a Grifter or a Tomahawk would have done, but that’s faded away… My parents very selfishly didn’t spend their meagre wages on pointless frivolities like stupidly stylish impractical modes of transport for their children. Oh no, they were too busy buying food, paying [...]

June 23, 2007 – 3:23 pm
Due to excessive amount of surfing today’s full surf lesson will be postponed. So my abbreviated tip is this: Do not listen to friends, family or the woman behind the till at the Spar. Go surfing whenever you can, for as long as you can, you’re only alive once so do the most fun thing [...]
