I hope you have the bottle of champagne ready to swing…
well maybe just fruit juice…
actually I guess salt water will do the trick.
Have fun guys.
digital camera , hopefully Lav’s brother’s digital camera / video in a water housing , maybe my canon plus 400lens plus motordrive …
hicksy is even talking about bringing up his BOOGIEBOARD for me to shoot water photos from [but I think he just really wants to get shots of me on a booger , personally ?]
[taken in hicksy’s new backyard pool today , by hicksy…yep, that’s a booger !!!]
catchya Wildy !

Do you really want to go on a trip with a bloke that wears his jocks as a respirator.
Now you all know how intuitive he is foiling fins…the ultimate perfectionist…
I forgot to add, I’m chucking on a BBQ when we get back…
Really hope to see some of you…
Hi Guys
Is it a day trip or an overnighter?
Just a day trip, leaving here at Merriwa at 5am coming back at around mid arvo.
Swell’s looking a bit suss
It’ll be bigger up at Lanno’s at least 1-2’…hehehe…doesn’t matter, any excuse to get wet…
I’ll see and if I can offload the grubs for the day.
hiya mate !
I’ll pm you hicksy’s number if you want to give us a ring tonight …
depending on the lancelin bushfires if we can get to the back beach at Lanno , of course !
cheers !

Hope she goes well on her maiden voyage lads.
Cheers,
Craig.
Good luck! have fun and hopefully use a fibreglass fin! (hehe)
Happy B’day Ben!
Good luck chaps and I hope she makes it to the other side of the country. I’m actually going to be over in Margs around the end of the month and would happily give it a free flight back to Qld if it needs to go. Hopefully we get some swell soon or we’ll all turn into grumpy old blokes…
Cheers

not enough rideable waves on it today to really give a proper report , plus I rode the “moonrocket” more than the Auslocks" board . [see “moonrocket attacks” thread].
Hopefully get another go at it between now and late february , when Grant will take it to ‘Pandanus’ country …

[and Kate’s foamie , too ]…
The launch went well, the conditions were basic to say the least but it’s a fast paddler and you have to watch where you lay on the board because of the thin nose not giving much float. Or it could have something to do with MY weight distribution…hehehe
I only tried it as a single but from my brief stint I reckon it’ll love chunky chest to head high surf, turns quickly and glides well. Got a few comments on the beach, people were amazed it was epoxy, really pleased with the finished result.
It’ll be over with Panny first week in March, so if any other Wozzies want a ride, better get in quick…PM me to arrange a pick up…

hicksy waxes ,
ben grovels … [I did EVENTUALLY get to my feet]
[we also took up the “hixell” board , but the surf was too small to get it moving …]
and , here’s a headshot to compete with "Sir W.A.L.''s avatar photo , I reckon !!
“go the goggled Grantman !” …
And , here’s one more shot of the dangerous weapon [foreground] , and the nose sinker …
Good stuff Chip! Thanks for that!!
