BONDI RESCUE LIFEGUARD MAY NEVER SURF AGAIN

BONDI RESCUE LIFEGUARD MAY NEVER SURF AGAIN

KOBI GRAHAM has told the media and his friends that he may never get back on the board again.

The main player in the hit TV show BONDI RESCUE, broke his neck while surfing some challenging waves at Cape Solander near Kurnell. The graphic pictures showed Kobi wiped out and getting sucked over with the wave onto the rock platform OUCH! Kobi is having trouble coping with the pain associated with his injuries…not surprising as the wipe out is the biggest seen by shocked onlookers who thought he would not survive.

Kobi’s mate in the TV series, Anthony “Harries” Carroll was quoted as saying in the Daily Telegraph  “Kobi is in a lot of pain, particularly his arms, and he will be in a neck brace for another two months at least”.

BONDI RESCUE LIFEGUARD MAY NEVER SURF AGAIN

On a personal note all his mates are itching to get him back to work and in the water again, but are not certain that he will ever do Life Guard duties again.

On a positive note, Kobi is a survivor and is walking again, and says he has got all feeling again in his limbs.

Two guys to mention in the rescue of Kobi are Billy Morris (who took the point of impact image attached) and Perth Standlick tow in guy, who with life guards did a great job in stabilising Kobi, as any false moves could have rendered more permanent injuries.

It won’t be long before he gets back in a positive role and in front of a camera as his popularity will demand.

Go Kobi!

Check out the photo by Billy Morris and the extended leggie with board at one end, and Kobie attached to the other, in the process of being crunched…ouch!!

Day in the life of Kobi

WHAT MAKES FISH SURFBOARDS RIP?

May-13-2010 By Birdie the Boardie

Why Do Fish Surfboards Rip?

WHAT MAKES FISH SURFBOARDS RIP?

Global Surfboard manufacturing companies work hard to identify and categorise the models they make, and one surfboard model of note is the 7S Super Fish Surfboard range.

FISH SURFBOARDS.

Fish Surfboards have become a world phenomenon in popularity not only for accomplished surfers but also those who want to lift their level to a higher point, and when only a Fish will do that job.

Basic Fish Model

The basic Fish model shape shows a more hippier characteristic feature over it’s counterpart, the modern day Thruster . This Hippier shape if you will, is what gives it the term Fish, and along with that shape is given a generous amount of floatation, and it is inherently wider, and also made thicker than a Thruster style surfboard.

Super Fish XL

This extra size has opened up a new world of surfing for the bigger surfer as well, when floatation then becomes a lesser problem and Fish boards can be set up as twins or quads can handle a variety of wave size being bumpy or smooth, and in the hands of an expert. even quick suckey waves.

One Fish surfboard is at the fore front of the Fish surfing world, and is is the model known as 7S Super Fish, and a model for the big blokes the 7S Super Fish XL.

This brand 7S is constructed in regular polyurethane fibre glass, and also the acclaimed Epoxy finished models that are super lightweight, and very durable,

7S SECRETS

What Makes 7S Fish Surfboards Rip?

The 7S secrets are that this style of board has the “step deck design”, which gives this Fish design model and that also gives them a high buoyancy advantage, but this factor doesn’t interfere with the inbuilt high performance rail design. To add insult to injury it doesn’t stop there, when the bottom of the board features low entry rocker that flows into a full length concave, to help get the best out of full rail turns.

This 7s Super Fish board can help you make sections that you never have before, it is  as smooth as it is fast.

Manufacturing Features

The manufacture points to note is that they are glassed with 2 x 4 oz deck and 1 x 4 oz bottom with an extra 4oz patch around the fin area. The boards come in a silky smooth Gloss Polish finish in the Poly models, or Gloss Painted finish in the Epoxy models, and they all come standard with FCS M7 Quad Glassflex Series fins.

The Fish Range

The full model Fish Surfboards and the 7S range, can be seen at the “Surf- Shop” David Low Way, Peregian Beach on the Sunshine Coast, or just follow the links to “Dealers”, on Global Surf Industries web site to view more of the 7S Surfboards, and click on “Surf-Shop” Peregian Beach as your preferred supplier.

KELLY SLATER TAKES THE SHINE

But

Young Jadson’s The Star.

Jadson’s The Star

It’s 2010 and it’s been a good year so far, and we can all expect great things from the best in the world, Kelly Slater as we move towards the years end.

Greates Surfer Ever

Not with standing, we can all agree that Kelly has been the greatest surfer in the world, in the modern times, but just recently I feel (this is my humble opinion) Kelly displayed some out of water behaviour, that I found a bit surprising, from this man of great surfing stature.

NEW SURFBOARD CARRYING DEVICE-BOARDSLING

May-5-2010 By Birdie the Boardie

SLING IT!--BOARDSLING

New Surfboard Carrying Device

Surfboard Carrier- Easy As, A…BOARDSLING

How lucky if you only live a couple of minutes to the beach, but if you are like most of us you usually have a lot of walking to do to get to that perfect break.

Boards are sometimes awkward and heavy when you need to carry any distance.

Boardsling Surfboard Carrying Device

There is a way out however, and it’s called a Boardsling surfboard carrier that is surprisingly easy to use. Gone are the heavy board bags with their slings when you use one of these. Simplicity and ease is it’s major feature.

Just a few points in the Boardsling’s favour.

a/ Carries that big heavy board with ease

b/ Don’t need long arms.

c/ Makes a long walk easy.

d/ Helps eliminate sore back and muscles

e/ Hah! Even the kids can carry their own now!

You know it’s available at the Surf-Shop Peregian Beach and it’s only $49.95

Online Surf Shop Boardsling site

So get every body to carry their own boards, and you can bet when you have one and forget to throw it in the car when you leave for the beach, you will definitely kick yourself for doing so. Just leave it attached to your board when you pack it away, that way you won’t forget it, and hang it up by the strap when you get home is the trick.

New Surfboard Carrying Device is as easy as

PEREGIAN SURF SHOP TRUTH UNCOVERED

Mar-31-2010 By Birdie the Boardie

Bob McTavish Going Vertical

PEREGIAN SURF SHOP TRUTH UNCOVERED

GOING VERTICAL

The Truth Uncovered

There was a time and it is now Surfing History when a film maker, David Bradbury (arguably one of the best Aussie Doco’ film makers) did justice to the McTavish and Brewer argument.

What was Bradbury doing making a Surfing Doco? Well when asked this question Bradbury said, “ I grew up with Midget Farrelly and Bruce Brown were heroes of mine, so I was happy to run with it even though it was out of my norm, it was interesting to step outside my comfort zone of Political and Social issue events”.
