Do you like smacking the lip or touching the glide? Do you prefer to exercise your legs and go for walk or stand still and stear from the rear.

Longboarding times are changing, in fact we are returning to the past. The rise and rise of the logger has brought traditional style longboarding back. This year the ASP rules for performance longboarding have been modified to reward more traditional moves. Basicially you can't have a wave score over a 7.5 if you don't combine modern manoeuvers with traditional moves. This used to be an 8.0

We all know Curly is often not the best wave to showcase the art of traditional longboarding, but now after hosting two world class Maljam events you'd have to admit that traditional surfing manouvers can be done here - and how good does a nose ride look on a critcal wave like ours!

So, what to do fellow back-of-the-board-longboarders? Reckon it's time to do a Jonnie Walker and (all of us who don't) start walking - who knows where we'll end up.

To kick off here's the current rules as they stand for performance and Log.

Am sure this will be a hot topic of debate at the end of year presso.

"Hi Phil,

As I mentioned on the phone, we’re casting for a new TV series called Don’t Tell the Bride. It’s originally an English show appearing on BBC3 and we’re making the Aussie version for Channel Ten.

The premise of the show is that we give a Groom $25,000 to organise his dream wedding over three weeks with no influence from the Bride whatsoever.

We thought it would be great idea to have a surfer or beachy person on the show, so anyone at the club who may have recently got engaged and isn’t too far down the track with their wedding plans, I would love to get in touch with.

Our planned production period is between June and August and we’re looking for couples who will be happy to be married in that window, with $25,000 being the big incentive for them to change any planned date. If anyone is interested or knows of anyone who maybe interested."

If anyone of you guys are interested or know of someone please contact me, Phil Nicol 0424727275

Phil C and Simon C early morning at the office. Thanks Doug for the pics.

There's a crew of Curly surfers going down to the DV8 Malibu Boardriders comp on the 25th of Febuary. Phil C has commandeered a bus so your transport is taken care of. Please give Phil a ring to confirm your seat.
