I say we start a drive to raise money to pitch in and by Chip a workbench and stool to sit on. Then, he can really crank out these cool fins.

hahahah

 

yep.

 

  i was actually at a friend's place , happily filling the air and surrounds with toxic dust while her co-tenant was overseas

 

  girl's house's don't always feature workbenches and sheds here , i've noticed ... [i'm sure rachel's and ethereal's are fully decked out , however ...]

     Howzit chip, I must say that not only are you a good fin maker but your photograpy is top drawer also, keep up the stoke.Aloha,Kokua

Slightly sickening...your winter is better than our summer...

Cheers

Hey Chipster,

Those wave only shots have caught and frozen moments that puts a smile and stoke in every surfers day ....... without being there ( sort of like having shots of your mistress you sneak a peak of when ya can't be there)

Yeah that's it ..... surfer porn ........ (lol) (lol)

W

Ps I think iGo HD is a precurser to stuff we should'nt mess .... hmmmmm

PSS Jeeeeeze were you on it when you took them shots .... might be something in it !!

Sorry for being such a kook! I intented to say GoPro:

Just wondering what the pictures were taken with??

no no you're not a kook at all mate ,

 

  it was merely my [paltry] attempt at aussie humour

 

  special thanks go to 'Lazarus' here [my brother Simon in real life] for VERY generously giving me a water camera while he was here in perth recently ....THANKS heaps , Simon !!  [it's a fuji finepix waterproof camera , which also takes movie footage too [this drains the batteries , i noticed! ] . Now , if i can just figure out how to post mini movies here [they are only around 6-9 seconds each wave ] .......

 

  cheers for your replies , guys ! [i have more , and varied , other photos for this thread too, but will try to hopefully be a bit more self-controlled with my photo postings??!!]

 

 ......keep surfing !!

  cheers .....and keep surfing !
