On reaching one's middle years , one inevitably wonders how many waves will be left to enjoy. Today I added another 21 to my total.
Does anyone else keep a record or log of some kind so that in one ...

It was a super day and you folks are always welcome! There was a good turn out despite the foul weather. I had a great day chatting with Andy from paipo glide and admiring his wonderful boards. It ...

This is the sort of reassurance I like. I've built the rest of my boards out of marine ply because it's very trustworthy but have gone for a lesser grade this time because of cash flow problems (i.e ...

I've just built a similar board from WBP (water and boil proof) ply with epoxy as the adhesive. I've used the epoxy to join the two pieces of 4mm and to seal all the edges of the ply wood as WBP is n ...

Bikes are allowed on all of the coast path. The problem is much of it is impossibly steep and rough - more suited to hiking. There is a very pleasant coast road and cycle trail slightly inland of th ...

Poobah,

...but surely you need to open the fingers to a certain extent, else there would be no advantage in having the webbing. Thanks for the over-use warning by the way.

A value of 35 is pretty good for gloves alone. I assume that one would have to paddle with the fingers spread apart to maximize the webbed area, which may feel pretty unnatural when compared to the us ...

Right folks, try these:

I've just ordered a pair as they seem like a good idea. Anyone else experimented with them? If so what's the verdict?

Here is a shot of my new alaia board. Ridden today in head high surf with not a hint of pearling! I even managed to knee ride it for a few yards.
