    The watch thread.

    I did a quick search, and nothing popped up in this thread, but www.jomashop.com has quite a few deals weekly/monthly, and might be worth a look for those of you looking for a new watch, but can't bring yourself to fork out retail.

    Large Shark catch and kill order WA.

    Maybe WA could just adopt the Reunion Island approach. http://www.surfermag.com/features/reunion-island-bans-surfing/

    Large Shark catch and kill order WA.

    Any burners have further info on WA's new policy of culling sharks over 3m found in in particular zones? Interested to know if they are only targeting "man-eating" species like tigers, bulls and great whites, or if it applies to all species, which would theoretically include grey nurse...

    Question for surfers

    This. I have exactly this model. I just lock it to the ring attached to the towbar. Awesome having some peace of mind not having to think about losing your key in the surf - and easy for other people in your car to leave the water before you without you having to juggle giving them the key in...

    Bodyboarding - Help a noob

    Have you considered bodysurfing rather than bodyboarding as an alternative? And by bodysurfing, I don't mean the sort of stuff your uncle used to do in the whitewash of the local beach in his sluggers. More like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOez2mFNk2s I bodyboarded for about...

    canberra? work/live/ride, tell me all about it!

    I spent most of my life living in Canberra during my school years, and again for a few years after I got back from Canada. I moved to Sydney last year and surf more than I ride now. It certainly has pro's and cons, so I'll try and bulletpoint some things that I learned. - Canberra is super...

    Ourimbah’s first All Mountain race 6 November 2011 - RESULTS ARE UP

    Dammit! I've been looking to get to a few all-mtn events, especially now I'm in Sydney and not Canberra, and I'll be O/S for this! If it moves to the following weekend, I am certainly in. Otherwise, I would be most appreciative if some Burners could point me in the direction of any more of...

    Sashimi grade fish

    For future reference: Iori or Coo (same owner/chef) in the Civic bus interchange, or Mee's in Manuka. I wouldn't bother eating sushi anywhere else in Canberra.

    Riding in Canada

    Hi Linda, The map and info on this site might help you with your decision - http://www.whistler.com/bike_guide As Mail Man said, River Runs Through it is a classic Whistler trail, and there are plenty of other trails of varying difficulty. Lost Lake trails are also nice if you are not...

    Steve's Whistler 2010 thread... updated 18/08, Canadian Open race run

    Hey Steve, Nice work! Rock rolls scare the living crap out of me. Have you ridden Tower of Power - on the road to Pemberton? There are a few rock rolls on that that are "s*hit your pants" scary. There is some footage of Mick Hannah doing a few in Illusionary Lines.

    53 hours, 20 minutes.

    I don't know....With the amount of resources the US has devoted to anti/counter terrorism, I'd consider this a fail. This guy actually set off a device on one of the busiest streets in the world. If he had half a clue about explosives, and actually managed to detonate, there would be a large...

    CAN 2010 July - Whistler.

    The other alternative to ordering over the web is to take a trip over the border to Bellingham. Obviously, you'll need transport, but they have a pretty massive mall there where you can pick up clothes etc pretty cheap. Can't remember if there was a bike store there though. Then you just have to...

    Whistler 2010

    Absolutely! If you can't make friends in Whistler, you are either a complete asshole, French Canadian or dead. I'd bet you a day ticket that you will be riding with new friends by your 3rd trip up the gondola.
