...This board paddles GREAT , turns well, trims nicely ...

 

I was fortunate enough to try it out in some decent head high peaks on the weekend , not long [one hour] after a 120kmh 'mini-cyclone' had hit [THIS was taken at 1pm , from inside the fourbie]......

Yeah, if you change the www address in any way, it breaks the link and doesnt show in your posts. So if you change the name of an album, move the album or pics to another album, all the pics dissappear from posts.

I'm also hoping to get hold of the footage of the wave that rowan  shot of me on it...

 

 

 

 [ p.s. - I also have a circa 1975 Richie West Bullett single fin , too , which we got from Coffs Harbour the last time Simon , Eli , and I were there. I'll get a shot of both the boards together at some stage soon ...]

Good stuff Ben, your pics always make me think Im there with you.

One day I'll travel over.

cheers brett

 

  hopefully one day you may be ...

 

  hey ,

 

  i just realised ...

 

  apparently when you move photos from one album to another on 'photobucket' , they delete off swaylocks posts ???

 

   ooops

 

  that may explain why several hundred of my photos have just ...well..  disappeared ???  darn it ...

Hey Chip, you'l have fun with the fin options on that one. The gift board from your brother is a nice touch, history for you with the older Ritchie shape.

 

Whose is the white Pathfinder? I have a red one...the two door model is hard to find. Surf Truck!
