That must be a ‘ben’ thing …two of mine are orange also !!
Still, it beats going crazy with a chainsaw, as Neville’s artwork fairly graphically depicts on Simon’s board…

The picture I’m using for my profile picture is a shot a friend took of me surfing a spot called Bingin on the island of Bali in May of 1983. Yeah it is a cheap camera and taken far away but it’s the overall view and memory that I like and is one of my favorites of myself surfing because of the feelings I get from it. I am in the pocket there if you look closely and the only other human in the picture is a Balinese fisherman near the whitewater. I surfed this day for the last two hours all alone on a 6’8" single fin board I made myself. This was my first of six great trips/seasons to Indo for a total of just over 15 months of surfing there during the 80s. My last trip being in 1991.
Glenn, that is a beautiful picture ! thanks for posting that !
…" big Daz" again, this time, forehand reos…
