Decrepit knows how to make an indestructible board, there's always a cost factor though, which will be weight

that makes fill alittle better jord [}:)]does decrepit build them or fixes them hardie

thanks gestalt i only want a strong free ride board not into wave sailing, have blood disease so can only do small sessons then im buggered ,i dont think weight is a issue but strenth is ,if you know any custom builders could you please give contact details regards bazz

I 'neary' bought a witchcraft in 1997..

I went in the shop and he did the 'hammer' test and the 'staircase test'

First he bashed the sh#t out of one with a hammer then got the board, turned it on its side, swung the board over his head and whacked the rail against the concrete steps leading into the shop.
...I was only after a pair of harness lines...
Not really an enjoyable thing to watch but the lack of damage was astounding.
They weighed no more than your average board.

And to expel the myth of Fuerte, the wave sailing is no better there than in WA. Though the spots work in summer AND winter.

The summer winds are nowhere near as predictable as Perth.
The weather, however, is wonderful all year round and the Spanish girls are just as wonderful. The laid back, non violent all-ages-welcome atmosphere makes going out at night great fun.

Bad day sailing huh ?
Last year me and my mate had a sicky and went to lano for the day.It was perfect 3qtr mast high and the wind was pumping.
After an hour or so of massive backy,s and sick waves i got cocky and hit a large wave went into something like a stalled pushie and came down hard... popped my shoulder out of its socket! ouch!!! I was trying to wack it back in when a massive wall of white water hit me and popped it back in.Luckly i was able to water start and sail back in.Twenty minutes later my mate walked up the beach (after a long swim)with half a sail,half a mast and a busted boom. Karma for the sicky aye..lolololo
But still i reckon it was the best session of the season even tho it was only an hour our so.
cheers

Dinged boards 4 times in 3 sails + the batton on a sail. One of them was dinged each time but we reckon we had been making the repair to thin so we fixed that up this time. Hopefully its all good now havnt been sailing since. Dad reckons its to cold in the winter but i reckon it would be alright. Looking forward to it and hopefully dont wreck to much more gear.

Bubs

mark you get the first lollypop as for hijacking keep it going i allways enjoy reading your posts

well it wasn't bad, just annoying but still ads to this post. i get out to crazies (first time with good wind conditions too) strait after school, im in a rush so i don't warm up my legs, which i have to do or i get bad cramps... its a b!tch getting out and with my lack of tacking skill, i fall off and have to swim the sail around, after that i was going good, got out to the sand bar, few jumps on the way than i nose land one and being hooked in i get flung, to make it worse im in the breaking zone im trying to keep the board and sails position rite, untill i get a good water start, with no crashing waves, and i get the worst cramp i have had in a long time. so five minutes later im still in the water, stretching it as much as i can and it goes away to a slite pain. so i get up and just as i hit a nice plane i go to attempt another jump on a nice formed lip, but im not even one second late and it crashes, (well crazies crash. not quite a proper crash ). im off again. decide to go back into sure, to go get my booties on, so i turn around, water start fine, and than im in the straps planing, aproching a nice little wave to play on on my way in,. and i get another ****ing cramp!!!, this time in the other leg, so im struggling my way in with two cramped calves, and the choppy conditions with a board with way to much volume didnt help. as i get to sure, my dad comes down to, what i thought, to help me get my rig up. but he instead tells me that he has broking my 2nd faverout 5.4 wave sail, and its not worth fixing[broken battern, monfilm torn up, and the mast sleeve. so this means that instead of getting my 5.0 super freak i will be getting a 5.3. (wich is still a nice size, just wont get as much use for waves, maby free style once i start doing that) and than once im on the sure, i have a look at my board to make sure i didn't break it when i got flung, but instead i discover a big dent, and a big patch of my paint job missing. luckily no cracks in the acutall board, because it was in a place i had rinforced in previose repair, but still hurts when you have put so much time into a paint job.
so that sucked. but when i wasnt cramping and i was hitting a few nice ramps it was good,.. but that was probaly no more than 20 minutes in total.
so one hour of sailing turned out to be more like 20 minutes of sailing and 40 minutes of pain

yeah im drinking alot of water, i have a 1leater bottle i refill 2 times a day but today i left it at home so i didnt drink much. but the main reason is because im going through a "big" growth spirt i wake up at night with them, and it horible. i thnk i have grown 2 inches in 9 days. we used to think it was dehydration, but i started drinking lots, and it did nothing so the only thing that stops it really is stretching them out befor i go. its pretty weird, but my dad apparently went through the same thing at my age, and both my sisters did with thier dancing.

(1) yeah I read once that "growing pains" were not an old wive's tale... ppl would not grow for months and then grow like an inch in one night.

(2) you have sisters who are tall dancers? Are they single?
