No way! Spy V Spy are still around???
I was trolling around You Tube the other day and came across some Riptides clips. Same miss spent youth era.

Mental as Anything, good description of your amateur dentistry 
Brings back memories from when I lived in Victoria in the 80’s (the state not the chick)
Joe Cammeliri & the Black Sorrows
Hoodoo Gurus
& the Saints
Some great bands then
I’m still trying to find an MP3 of JUST LIKE FIRE WOOD by the saints if anyone can help
Cant figure out how to do frame grabs, just watch Dan charge in this vid…

Ben,
#1- Surfed the fins you sent and they felt great, little waves but some peaks here and there- good time being on the big board again, and I’ll try the keels in the next week or so. Thanks again, you’re a champ.
#2- One of the fellas I work with a huge Mentals fan and was STOKED to hear you’d seen 'em, I’ll show him the pics here when I get a chance.
#3- What the @#!* were you thinking with that tooth?
You’re a scholar and a gentleman.
Oh, Burnsie- the Black Sorrows- I had almost forgotten them! Great band, I remember liking their album a lot. I got to see a few of the messier outfits too- Beasts Of Bourbon at the Trade Union Hall, James Baker Experience at the Rock’n’Roll Wrestling at Paddington Town Hall, The Surrealists- great fun.

cap’nn ,
i’m STOKED you got to try the cutaway keels already !! [simon , my brother, is taking the ones i sent him , to indo for two MONTHS , starting tomorrow …STOKED !!]
Well, i’ve NEVER been called a “scholar and a gentleman” in my previous six lives …been called shitloads of OTHER things , but
cheers
ben

cheers
ben[tal as anything…]
“viva la backyard dentists of the world !!”
good thread.
Love the fun!
That multi template fin is giving me ideas.
Remember those spark plug gauge things like a swiss army knife like motion, imagine a fin guru has templates all lined up, and if you want one, you slip it out . . .
chipper put too much catalyst in …“show us the DECK , ben !” [to quote hicksy from the bushfire thread]
notice the rippled glass on the bottom rhs plug
closeup
mental, indeed
