Interesting Graham, he does of course want you to buy something from his own shop.  I didn't hear him mention the coffee cup. But I agree with you. 

Interesting about the CX trucks. I contacted Carver asking them why the CX trucks were dearer ($). What was the difference. They sent me an email back but I can't find it now unfortunately, but I definitely remember them recommending the CX trucks. I went to my local skate shop the get my pads and they tried to steer me toward the C7 trucks, it may have even be the C5. It confused me. But you have cleared that up for me, so thanks.

Sounds like Heaven to me Roxy

Maria MolèMaria are they what the mountain bike riders wear. Also haven't heard back from Jeremy. You are right there is definitely something wrong with the account. I went to watch May Feedback and was asked to pay for it. So thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Hadyn got my pads the following day. Very bulky. Need a helmet. Was also thinking about wearing an old wet suit as a skin saver.

So it’s a shallow short paddle don’t stretch out in front too far I was a swimmer so we would curve the hand in an S shape down the front of our bodies does that still apply or is it straight back Thanks for the advice G - Lib

Can't help Roxy. They are not my thing.

Hi Roxy while watching I noticed the paddle too. Especially my left arm. Was in the surf on Monday and focused on narrowing the paddle. There was some restriction in my shoulder. Need to give it a massage then try again. Thanks for confirming what I also saw. The holding on. I don't know why yet.

Maria MolèThanks Maria. Unfortunately nothing comes up when I click on the link. The message 'not found'. Sorry for being a pain in the butt
