Re:What are you riding???? 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
Hi twxyz youve made a couple of points here.I think that in a very short time 30" is going to be a pain and 28" would be better, seems small but you will see.W e dont ride ships at least I dont.
Secondly epoxy might be a problem for you but at least unlike the pu board you prbably wont ever need to repair it.
And thirdly I know Mctavish shapes good surfboards but as the guys who know say , its not a wise move to use a shaper who doesnt SUP.These boards have evolved and are definitely not just big surfboards anymore.The boards that relatives of tandem boards have long been left behind.You obviously use the net so type in stand up paddle into Google and you will see yourself.Dont listen to surfboard shapers.
Cheers.

Re:What are you riding???? 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
hi just purchased a naish 11'6 had my first run on it today and i was very impressed the only time i fell in was when i was getting hot and needed to cool down. I found it to be a very stable board that glides along the water nicely and since i live a few hours away from surf this suits me perfectly. ok thats enough from me just needed to share the stoke now that i know what its like. cheers have fun.

Re:What are you riding???? 1 Year, 3 Months ago  
Being only a short bloke, 5'6 @ 65kgs I was stoked to see C4 release the 9'0 and it didn't take long to get my hands on one. I have ridden lots of different boards in my time and my impressions of this board is basically a shortboard on steriods! Its the length of a standard mal but surfs like a shortboard. Being around lots of beachbreaks this board will come in handy. Oh yeah, did I mention its fits in the back of my car too!

Good looking board, should suite your size well.What was your last ride.
Not much swell around this weekend,scored some small waves at Catho both days.The Laird 11' came in handy.Gave a couple of mal riders a go and lo and behold both are keen to buy boards.
Cheers mate.

Hi there snappy!

Surfed Redhead today and waves were ok, seemed to be bigger on the incoming tide.
If your mates are keen for a board let me know as I have a couple of Lairds in stock now. There will be an ad in this sat herald with my details.

See ya around

Re:What are you riding???? 2 Weeks, 5 Days ago  
Some movies are serious, designed to make the audience think. Other movies are designed primarily to amuse and entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Different people like different types of movies. Some people like to watch a movie that makes them think. They prefer movies with a murder investigation or some kind of intricate plot. Other people prefer movies that make them laugh. Personally, I like more comedies, but sometimes my husband insists on watching a fantastic or a scary movie just to diversify our repertory.Comedies make one laugh. People can just relax, buy a bottle of coda and some popcorn and enjoy those moments. It is a means of eliminating stress and tension. Usually, we go to the movie theatre once a month because in this case we always find new comedies to watch. I like those moments when it is dark and one just can enjoys the actions from a large screen.
wow gold,
I do not want to say that I do not like movies that make me think. Sometimes I really like the plot or performance. For example, "Traffic", a movie about drugs and young people, is very touching and topical. From my point of view, every family should watch this movie together and discuss the important aspects of it. One more example of this kind of movies is "Mister G". It is about a little boy who needed a surgery to live. His heart did not work properly, so a boy needed another one to survive . Basically, the movie is about a family that faces many difficulties and obstacles, trying to save their only child. I think that humankind needs such movies. First of all, they help people enjoy their life and be grateful. Second of all, they help people realize that they are a big family.

In summary, I think that every movie must teach us be kind, strong and grateful.

Billions of dollars are spent on entertainment every year, in every country in the world. Much of this money is spent on either movies or fictional books,wotlk gold, as these two types of entertainment are found to be most enjoyable by the masses. Which, however, is more enjoyable? I posit that these mediums cannot be compared so easily, as they both have their strong points in regards to entertainment.

When one reads a fictional book, one is able to let his/her imagination run wild. Everything from the setting to the character de_script_ions is left up to the reader's mind, and therefore can be quite enjoyable. Depending on the novel, of course, one can imagine far away places just by the de_script_ion read in the novel. Books are also an excellent form of entertainment as they are portable. If one is on a long commute to work, which is common in Beijing, one can bring along a favorite novel, effectively taking his/her entertainment with him/her. Books can be enjoyed in any setting. They can be picked up on a whim, and put down again to return to at a later time.Movies, of course, also have their own benefits. Movies allow the viewer to be completely engrossed in the plot. There is no need for thinking, as everything is presented to you in a straightforward form. One never has to ponder what a place or a person looks like; the information is all accessible to the viewer. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on what one is looking for in his/her entertainment.
wow gold,
In a society where we want everything faster, better and more exciting, perhaps movies are a more relevant medium. However, movies demand at least an hour and a half of one's time. Books are available to their consumers whenever there is time, which is also an important feature. In conclusion, I believe that neither books nor movies are a more enjoyable form of entertainment. In some cases, I prefer to read a book. In others, a movie is vastly more enjoyable. It is up to the consumer to decide.

Which type of movie do you prefer?
