Fanning, Burrow and Slater all through to round 3 in Hang Loose Pro 2007 Print E-mail
Sunday, 04 November 2007

The ASP World title race is definitely hotting up. There are 2 events to go... actually we're in the middle of the Hang Loose Pro in Brazil. After round 1, the world title contenders Mick Fanning, Taj Burrow and Kelly Slater are all through to round 3.

 

If Fanning wins the event he wins the title. Go Mick Go!  If not, it'll go to the Pipe Masters in Hawaii.

Review: Mac OS X Leopard hear me roar on a G4 1.5GHz. Print E-mail
Friday, 02 November 2007

I took the plunge to be part of the 9% (or so they say at the time of writing this) of Mac OS X early adopters. With Tiger I waited a while. I figured with Leopard, why not. Check here for some of my experiences of running on a PowerBook G4 with 1.5 Ghz processor. 

 

I have to confess, I was a bit worried about that being on an older 1.5 GHz powerPC they old Leopard may run more like a slow dog than a sleek cat...

Stuff British Airway's ban on surfboards. Print E-mail
Thursday, 25 October 2007

British Airway's have banned surfboards as luggage. British who? I do not think I will be flying BA!!!

 

I got this from the BA website:

 

Sporting equipment we do not carry (effective from 6 November 2007)

Due to the large size and handling complexities, some sporting equipment cannot be accommodated through the airport baggage system or within the aircraft hold. Therefore we no longer accept the following equipment at check-in as part of your sporting equipment allowance.

  • hang gliders
  • windsurfing boards and sails
  • surfboards
  • kayaks or canoes
  • pole vaults
  • javelins

Please contact your local freight company to arrange carriage for any items that exceed the permitted weight and size.

 What's the logic of not allowing a surfboard. You're allowed to take your bike.

 

Also i wonder if BA knows how many surfers probably will not be keen to fly with them now that they are doing this. So it's probably not just the impact of surfers travelling with boards... it's be surfers who will choose another carrier whether they have a board or not.

 

Golfers and Cyclists beware, you could be next! Comments welcome below...

Now this is why this my favorite wave in Indo. It's pretty fickle, so not everyone will get it, but if you do it's one of the best spots in the world.

Sheeeeeesh!
