Giving up surfing to concentrate on improving my golf handicap

Hey Chip.

Long time no mustard. How’s it going mate? The subject line was a lie, I’ve never played golf and don’t intend to start now.

Had my first waves in months last week, crap as they were I damned near soiled my wet suit in anticipation on the way down the beach. I feel I need to apologise to you mate cos my heads been stuck up my arse for the last few months, been forgetting and neglecting loads of stuff that should’ve got done. But, I’ve had a bath now and everything is smelling much better.

I still haven’t re-sent those fins out to you and they’re all wrapped up and ready to be posted. Shit I’m crap! I will do it this week.

My lad has just got into making skate board decks, he’s just finished this 3 1/2 ft cruiser thing with 180 holeys and Dog-town 70mm wheels. I had a go on it and think I may have re-fractured my collar bone. That was a week back and it still hurts like hell.

How are all your mad folk down there? All of ours keep dying, at this rate I’ll be out of a job by summer…more surf time I guess then.

Anywhose, I’m off. Take it easy, shout soon.

SSSSHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRK!!! (made you jump dinnit?) "

ahhh , yes …the pommies …

gotta love 'em eh ?!

glad there are so many of you brits on this forum , it keeps things sane , and fun …

cheers ,

  ben

moral of the story , too …

skateboards can be leathal weapons to us over 40 year olds …bones take longer to heal = more time not surfing …‘’ d’oh !!" etc

2

I’d be keen on seeing some photos of those decks.

and an x-ray of your collarbone too , please , “mr.x” …

Hey Robbo, cheers Bud. Mine too, and my son’s!

Oh and wood is good. (Or so I’m told, I’m a bit too old to remember really).

Is that gorgeous work of art of yours finished yet? I’ve been away for a while and haven’t kept up sorry.

Ah yes, fins. Welll there’s a funny story with that…I was going to post them last Tuesday and there I was in the queue for the post office, when Godfrey (really) the post master, was caught short and had to close up for a short while. I had a wander around the shop for a minute whilst awaiting Godfrey’s relieved return, when four men in balaclavas and track suits entered the shop and held me hostage until 5.30 that afternoon when a ransom had been paid in a small crisp packet in used coins. By the time my release had been negotiated the post office had shut, since then I have been too traumatised to enter the building again. I did think of going to another post office but keep forgetting. Sorry mate…Tomorrow for sure. At this rate by the time I remember to get em out to you the wood will have biodegraded to compost ready to start the cycle of tree-wood-dust-compost-tree…

Jase (MMM)

Hey Timmmmeeey, I been good, but flat out busyas mate. Hows you?

No pies nor beer mate dieting hard and about to change my screen name to …slightlyless-fatbas-lowfatsunflowerspreadwithpolyunsaturates-pert-buns, but I’m fucked for an avatar.

Just got back from doing some climbing with Dan and thought about doing some repairs to my fave hollow, but realised that I’ve forgotten to order my glass cloth from Seabase last week. I’ll see if I can get those pesky aliens to pick it up for me on the way back from dropping off your fins mate. Yup, they’re still waiting to be posted. I was just thinking of doing a “How to” thread about how to get round to posting some fins that I promised way back when, complete with photos, obviously using a stunt double for the more dangerous pillarbox shots. Feck, yes, I’m going to do it! (If I remember).

Seriously mate, at the minute I’m seriously skint and just about keeping it together enough to go climbing and surfing every couple o weeks, next month should be easier so I’ll post em then. Didn’t help that I crashed my wife’s car into a lamp-post and had to pay to put it back together again…OOOOOPS! She was well sweet about it though which was really cool, all she said was “This means I don’t have to cook, wash up or iron this weekend then?” Which of course was an easy get out for me and one which I agreed to immediately. So we had take-out and crinkly clothes saturday sunday and monday. RESULT!

great to see another South Park fan online …

yeah yeah , I know …totally non surfboard design related [yawn] …

but that’s exactly my point !

Hopefully a bit of good ol’ pommie merriment makes at least ONE person’s day brighter ! [It did mine !] …

Seeya later , I 'm off to a place north of here for “a spot of surfing” with an ex-swaylockian formerly known as ‘Zap’ …a strange world , indeed !

Hey there you wierded out upside down fecker, hows it all hanging down thar?

Man, the weather is fine and the birds are a singin in the trees, god is in his heaven and my grandads in his greenhouse, my tomatoes are ripening nicely and there’s beer in my fridge, all my toiling is done for the day, there’s a steady wind in my sails, the stars are guiding me home, and my cup it runneth over. On the down-side there’s not a wave for 200 miles. LIFE SUCKS!

Jase (MMM)

P.S. I’m over that whole alien - hostage - post offiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaggghhhhhh aaaaaaaahhgghhhhhaggaaaaaaggghggghhhhhh…well maybe just another week or so then.’

Almost dude, just about to walk through the door and was overcome by the fumes from my under-crackers.

Is that D.E.V.O.? Are we not men? Man, I used to leuuuuve DEVO, fucking wierd bastards.

I’m starting a foam board soon I think, someone got me some epoxy dead cheap so I’m looking at a Wickes’ (English version of Home depot) polystyrene insulation sheet blank, but have to finish my mate Tim’s hollow first, I will deffinately post pics of the foamy thing. I’ve just thought, this will be ideal for a board for my missus as it is insulation sheeting so should keep her feet nice and warm in the winter water.

Keep in touch you mad twat

from a “google search” of …

"take the piss’

Vrb phrs. 1. To ridicule, to tease, to make fun off. Cf. ‘extract the urine’.

  1. To take advantage of, to exploit. E.g.“Just because they like looking after their grand children, doesn’t mean you can dump the kids on them every weekend whilst you go out clubbing. That’s just taking the piss.”
