Surf/Skate Underwater

The Surfari Skate allows kids to ride the board underwater.

Not exactly sure how it works, but it appears it would challenge one’s ability to stay underwater, let alone the body’s natural habit of floating back up to the top.

Being that it’s made of foam, just keeping it underwater would be a trick itself.

Grip

Sex Wax.jpg OR palmerswax.jpg OR deck_grip.jpg

There are many different types of surfboard grip available, they all do the same thing but I’ve chosen to re-wax my board with Mrs Palmers wax. I’ve been using Sex Wax and found myself slipping off my board, hopefully Mrs Palmers ultra sticky wax formula will keep me steady.

Now I’m the first to admit I cannot use the wax as an excuse for my poor performance up to now but I’m hoping it may help me a little.

Deck Grip & Foot Pads are widely used and I looked at a few but decided I’d get a little better then test it out on a hire board first.

May 22, 2005 - after fours in the surf today I’m happy to report Mrs Palmers is working wonders and I think my performance has improved two-fold. Cheers Mrs Palmer.

Mini Mal

My New Mini Mal.jpg Bought a mini mal surfboard today. I’ve been testing different sized boards for the last couple of months and finally found the right one. The dimensions are 7′6″x21″x2 3/4″. I’m still struggling even with longer boards (8′6″) that I’ve been riding of late but after testing this one on Australia Day I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I’m on the 2005 ASP World Surfing Tour. All I need now is a car to get me to the beach!
