Hi Amandine,
There is a lot of stuff on the Net, and if you choose a particular company
and email them direct you may be able to gather more info. I can't do that
for you. When you talk about Surf Companies I don't know exactly which you
mean . There are many Surfboard making companies and for me these are the
only valid Surf companies. However there are a lot of Clothing Companies
etc that associate their image with Surfing, and for those I guess the only
way to be valid is to sponsor 'Pro' surfers (see how important the Pro Tour
is...) and buy a lot of advertising space in the over abundance of assorted
Surf magazines. Pay the surfers and pay the mags and anyone can be a 'surf
brand' these days.... sad isn't it.

Comments: Help!! Stuck in cold shitty Germany. Looking for
information about surfing around Agadir/Morocco.
(esp. cheap accomodation and flights) It¥s fuckin¥cold so please help me out.
Ed:
Ah the old Casbah...I remember it well. It's been 25 years since I
travelled down to Agadir from London during my well spent youth, and it was
well worth it. Morrocco has much Surf. I caught a plane from London to
Tangier (that saved me having to spend any money on the way..) and I always
use a Sleeping Bag instead of a Board cover so that saved on sheets. Before
I left London I also looked around for a good 1-2 man tent. The one I found
rolled up as small as a large towel, and I was able to pack it inside my
suitcase. I left the airport in a Taxi driven by an Arab with his robe on
and went straight to the Hotel (that was part of the ticket package) for
one night to gather myself and acclimatise to the new country. The next
morning I caught a modern and efficient train that went South along the
coast for a great deal of the way, and saw the abundance of Surf that
Morrocco offers. I got off in Casablanca for a night, checked the late
evening swell, and then kept heading South the next morning by bus. Agadir
was a laid back place and I lived on Mandarins and Bread for a month. The
nights are cold, but waking up in the morning and seeing the point surf
around that area was worth the trip, even if the occasional camel blocked
the view from my beach front tent. All in all, one of my best 'value for
money' surf trips.

The best way to get stickers is to politely send stamp addressed envelopes

Comments: Has anyone out there had any experience riding
boards equipped with the keel-type fin(star fin) that Cheyen Horan rode
back in the 80s? And, does anyone have a shaper or manufacturer they
wouldn't mind recommending that may be able to build a board for this type
of fin? Aloha!
Ed:
Hi Mitch,
Geoff McCoy builds Cheyne's boards, and they remind me of another great
surfer Ted Spencer, whose boards looked like they were a fin (with a
board attached)! Cheyne's fin was designed by Ben Lexan (noted for
designing the boat that won the Americas Cup race), and it was modelled on
a WW11 Spitfire plane wing. The fin fits a standard box and so you can
adjust the position on the board which like all fins, is crucial. I don't
know who to suggest to shape your board, but if you can try the Fin first
on another board you'll be halfway there already.
Actually the 'winged keel' was invented by Carl Knox, a Californian surfer
from the '40s who marketed his invention as the "Surf Lock' fin. It fitted
a box as well, and it was crucial that the box was fitted flush with the
board to make sure the fin was angled just right. I rode one for a couple
of years on a longer board before Cheyne's model came on the market, and
absolutely enjoyed it!

really quick..thanks..SURFS UP DUDE!!!
Ed;
Well DUDE,
I guess it depends on whether or not you believe Surfing can be judged to
begin with, as to your views on it being an Olympic Sport. I personally
don't, and I could tell you the best Surfer in the lineup on any given day,
without the need for a Judging Sheet.
However as Surfers, we are a part of society ( whether you like it or not),
and use the facilities offered to get to the beach to begin with, so if
Surfing must be judged let it be in the Olympics. After all that's only
once every four years, there isn't much of an opportunity for any
particular company to change seedings/rules to suit themselves, and this
endless parade of local contests closing the beach might end up with some
direction after all. At the end of the day we are going to need all the
help we can get to save our Surf spots from other users such as Boat
Marinas & Fisherman, and Olympic status could do that. Besides all those
kids who don't seem to enjoy Surfing unless they are 'sponsored' will have
a field day. Think of all the companies that would want to be assosciated
with Surfing then!

Do you mean Surf competions Maria? Isn't that a business arrangement
between a small group of Surfers, whereby a company that has no place in
Surfing and does not contribute to Enviromental issues or board design,
gives the local trophy maker some money, and in the name of Surfing (you
can read about it in your local Surf mag ads) presents the winner with a
trophy,title and cheque. My personal view is that there is far too many of
them and they have lost all validity. Maybe one day those same companies
will put something back into Surfing of lasting significance....

Comments: First of all the site is well presented. I do
however have a question?
I am Graduate Law Student at Southern Cross University Australia (I
acually live at Lennox Head). I have been asked to present a paper to a
coming law conference re "Surf Rage" and the Law. Currently assault in
the water is the same as assault on land and is a crime under our Crimes
Act. My question how do the legislators/courts/police/local and state
authorities deal with this growing and in my opinion serious
problem. Thanks for any feed back. Geoffrey
Ed:
From my experience violence in the water is caused by violent people, and
the Surf is just the trigger for their problems. I don't think any amount
of signs/rules will change these people one little bit. I don't recall any
cases whereby the police/courts have dealt with the problem. One case that
the media jumped on recently was the regrettable Nat Young incident where
Nat was assaulted by Michael Hutchinson after Nat had bullied his son. To
his credit Nat did resolve the personal issue after a couple of hours worth
of discussion with Hutchinson who apologised for the considerable pain he
had inflicted.
Worth mentioning is the fact that if you are assaulted by a Pro Surfer in
the lineup ( who incidentally is in the course of fulfilling his contract
as a Pro surfer by riding/endorsing Surf Brand products) you may have a
case to sue the Pro Surfer's employer, whoever that company may be.

The ISA is a world governing body for surfing and has been recognized by

event in future Olympic events. You may want to contact them if there is
any information that would assist you in terms of their Olympic Committee.
I am not sure if that is a direction or information you are interested in
seeking. www.isasurf.org
Bruce Gabrielson replies
Guess I'm getting very confused on this. Thus far the ISA has made no
effort to work with us after repeated attempts to get information from
them. What we are doing is a USSF effort and has nothing to do with the
ISA at this point. Any country is free to work their own initiatives
towards Olympic recognition. The ISA is welcome to work with us if they
wish, but are under no obligation to do so. It sounds like you're

Comments: To whom it may concern,
Hi, my name is Richard Lawless and I was thinking of buying my
first surfboard. I want a board that I can learn on, but one that will
also perform well when I become more advanced.
I would mostly be surfing at Wilsonís Promontory in Victoria. I'm 14 years
old, 153cm tall and weigh about 47kg. I'm pretty small for my age but I
don't want to buy a board that will be too small for me when I grow. I
have no surfing experience but I am O.K on a skateboard and I have been
snowboarding and also go bodyboarding.
The board I was thinking of buying is the Mac-T 6'6" shredder. When I go
surfing, I would go with my uncle who is a good surfer and used to surf a
lot when he was younger so he would teach me to surf and give me pointers.
I just want to know if the shredder would be a good board to buy. Is the
soft-top better than the hardtop? Would it suit me when I become more
advanced? Would it last and not wear out? Will it be easy for me to learn
on? What conditions is the board suited to?
I donít want to buy a 7' funboard because when I become better it wouldnít
suit me. I live in Sale in Gippsland and I was wondering where the closest
dealer of Mac-Tís would be. If the 6'6" shredder isn't the right board,
do you have any other suggestions? I'm very eager and willing to learn to
surf. Please help me choose a board. My E-mail address is

Please reply, yours sincerely,

George,
Some Shapers cut their planers short because they feel it makes it easier
to shape the boards. However if you haven't had a lot of experience, I
suggest you just shape the normal planer way and get your boards right as
your first priority.
The main developement in planers for Shaping is the 'Shapers Barrel" which
replaces blades in the planer with a rounded cutting bit.
When we re-open the SURFIN SHOP that will be one of the products we will be

20 years!)
Good luck..

I'm planning a trip to the morrocco area or the cannary islands or both.
I would like to get some more info on specific spots. My father lives in
the casablanca area and I would like to know how difficult it is to
travel to the surf in Morrocco and, also how the plane flight to the
cannary islands would be from Morrocco. Would their be a need
for a wetsuit and do I need a couple of boards for bigger
surf.
Ed:
Brook, there is good surf in Morrocco and Canary Islands.
Yes, you need a wetsuit and a couple of boards would be an advantage as the
swell there can be quite powerful. Travelling in Morrocco is pretty good,
as there is a modern train service that takes you along the coast if you
head South (to Agadir). Casablanca has Surf as well. Keep your nose clean
and have a good trip.

Hi Guys,
Could you please settle an argument in our office
and tell me what the significance is of the 7th wave.
Thanks
Michael
Ed:
Ah Michael,the Seventh wave..........
Tradition has it that if the seventh wave is ridden on the seventh point by
the seventh son a Messiah will come to rescue our lifestyle from the boring
little people presently heading up the Surfing Industry. Everyone knows
that young impressionable kids follow the best Surfers so these business
people buy their 'cred' by paying the Surfers to use and endorse their
feeble products. Look at any Surf Mag and there you will see them all
represented. We all know that valid Surf Companies are too proud to pay
people to use their products don't we? I for one will always take the
fourth wave of a set, satisfied in the belief that at least I had it when
it was all still good..... I hope this clears up any mistaken rumours.

Hi Chris, Really like your site - looks like a full time job (wish

'publicity' for our website http://www.wannasurf.com
If you have time, could you take a look, and maybe give us a review and/or
a link from insidesurfin, (if you like the site!) We hope that our site
is sufficiently different from the thousands which already exist, in so
far as we are trying to build a world-wide data-base of surf spots
(modest ambitions) - with the data and photos being supplied by surfers
from around the world. We only supply the 'environment' in which the
data can be housed. Spots are indexed with regional maps, and full
reporting/messaging/forum facilities exist. We do not, however, intend
to work on forcasting and 'pro-surfing', as these are areas already well
served on the net. Hope you like it, and any feedback would always be
appreciated. Good Waves! Richard

Hi Chris
Just checking out Inside Surfin and thought I'd drop you a line to say 'hi'.
Actually I was surfing the net for a reason: looking for websites for women
surfers. I checked out your links; do you know any other good ones??
Also I have some news: I've just landed a job as editor of a new womens
surfing mag called SurfGirl (published by Emap, the same guys who do Tracks
and Waves). So if you have anything you want to tell Australia's surfing
girls, let me know. There's going to be just two issues this year - Winter
(due out late April) and Summer (due out September).
Hope all's well with you. Inside Surfin looks good as usual.
Best new year wishes,

Nice to hear from you Louise.
Good luck with the new Mag, it sound great! Also check out Chick Mag. Anyway I'll be in touch...

The best place that I have found to gather info on the Surfing Market is to
ask for ADVERTISING Rate Cards from local Surf Mags. They usually prepare
a few details in their Advertising Schedule to assist clients.
I don't know what country you are in, but in the USA a good source of this
information is 'Action Sports Retailer' mag in Sth Laguna. CA. They handle

Comments: sup yall at IS , I actually do have a few questions
that no one here in good ol canada can ever awnser. The surf shop guys
here don't know thier head's from their ass's, so I was hoping you guys
could help me out.
1. I'm 6'2, 190 , should I be looking at one of these " big guy boards "
or are they just a pile. I've snow boarded for the past 9 years and ride
extremly agressive and I suspect that I'll be the same way once I know how
to actually ride a wave, does this affect what fins I should have ?
2. I live in BC Canada, but I've saved all last year to take this year
off and devote it strictly to surfing I'll be riding all of the westcoast
from here in BC all the way down to Mexico, do I need more than one board,
and does the difference in salt water affect my boyancy at all ?
3. Wetsuits , where do I start , um full length, 3/4 or what please help !
4. Are there any books or vids I can pic up on how not to piss off the
rampaging locals all the while learning some surfing fundamentals.
That's it, if you can answer any or all of these questions I would forever
be in your debt, thanks.
ED:
Hi Riley,
Thanks for checkin' INSIDE SURFIN.
OK, I'll try to answer your questions....
1) In regards to surfboards, the bigger they are the easier they are to
learn on, because they float better and paddle into waves easier. Plus
there is a lot more space on them to paddle without falling off the side,
and stand up(which you can do after practice catching the broken waves as
they roll in).You catch the wave when you are paddling the same speed as
it. The more you practice the quicker you will learn!
I would look around the 7'6"-8'6"x 21"area in surfboards, and probably in
the second hand rack.Boards are probably cheaper down in LA so how much
surfing do you plan to do before then? You won't know what you prefer until
you have caught a few waves.If you can hire one from the shop with the
intention to purchase if it floats you and feels comfortable,do it. Better
still ask to try it for free if you seriously look like buying it. If it's
a single fin, that's fine. As a matter of fact a single fin is easier to
learn on.You only need one board. When you are a better surfer, then think
about higher performance and possibly a tri fin. There is plenty of time.
Don't be impatient and then end up giving up because your board was too
hard to ride. Salt water won't effect the size of your board although a wet
wetsuit does.
2) If I was to buy only one wetsuit I would buy a full length
legs/sleeves.(with booties). Then when you go south where it's warmer, you
can make the decision then about another wetsuit such as a vest or 3/4.
Check out what other Surfers are wearing in the area.
3)Some of the best stuff on Surfing is on the Net. Try "Santa Barbara
Surfing"(linked on IS links page) for some surf lessons to read. When you
get to LA you could look up Corky Carrol Surf School or Groundswell Surf
Camp(both also linked from IS). A couple of days with an instructor will
work wonders and both those companies are professional. The water's warmer
down there and would be easier to learn in too!
Hope this helps...let me know if you have any more questions,OK?

surfing site. pretty darn cool. any info on how i can get into surfing
designs on clothes etc. i've got a copyright on a surf label i drew up, &
i own that for the next ten years but i just don't know how to get
started. i live about two hours away from the surf. thanx heaps. surfer
girl tiff.
ED:
Hi Tiffany,
Thanks for checkin' INSIDE SURFIN.
In regards to your query on setting up a Surf label, it is a serious
business proposition that will require some professional advice ultimately,
if you plan to go ahead..There is strong competition in this area and so I
would approach it slowly, to see if it is suitable career for you. While it
can be satisfying to design your own clothes, what is there to stop any
company copying you by slightly changing your designs. If they have
distribution deals in place already, you will find it hard. Also do you
have enough money to develope the range, pay for samples, advertise, and
generally pay for business set up costs at the same time. All of this
before you sell anything! Established Surf labels spend millions of
dollars(advertising,trade shows,pro surfers etc) over years to establish
brands!
That said, with the advent of the Net, there is nothing to stop you setting
up a neat little website with pics/prices of your products to test the
waters. Importing cheap gear(it doesn't have to be clothes) from
Mexico/Bali etc could also be an economic proposition for you to learn to
understand your market better. Visit Surfshops,keep your eyes open. There
is something out there that is just right for you....It's hard work..can
you stay interested?
That said, I wish you all the best and if you set up your own site, send
INSIDE SURFIN your URL...OK?

Hi Chris,
Currently, I am researching the surf wear apparel industry and trying to seek
information on the industry. I am also interested in information pertaining to
Web sites, sales on the internet and how to set up relations with national
brands such as
Quiksilver, Redsand, Rusty, etc.etc..
Chris, any information or contacts you may have would be greatly appreciated!
Once again, Thanks for your time! Don Cordero
ED:
Hi Don,
I am not in the clothing industry, so I can't help with that. I suggest
that you mail the brands that interest you, and see what response you can
raise. It seems much of the information you may be seeking could be
confidential business stuff, which has cost the companies you mention a lot
of money to find out the answers..try ACTION SPORTS RETAILER magazine. It's
a trade publication from an organisation that also runs the US trade shows.
They are in the Laguna Beach,CA area. They are very professional and are
probably the best lead I can give you.
Good luck,

I haven't been down that far Dave so I can't tell you if there are any surf
shops in the area. That would be your best bet. To buy a second hand board
locally if you can. That way you get a board to suit the local surf
conditions. As for surf sites,there are plenty of them linked off INSIDE

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for checkin' INSIDE SURFIN. Have you checked our GUEST OPINION Page?
You could email the author who has put a bit of thought into the proposals
how Surfing could be an Olympic Sport. Also I have enclosed an Article
mailed to us from Portugal(you will have to make do with their English
translation!) where the ISA is based. It looks like Surfing is going to be
accepted, and I suggest you email Pedro at his email as well.He would know
exactly what the situation is. In Sydney, many Surfers were disappointed
that it was not accepted for the 2000 Games, while some Surfers don't like
the idea. They think the Surfing would lose it's 'soul'. For me that has
already happened, as so many Surfers work out how to make a living from it.
Some don't like the idea that the Clothing Companies have such a huge
influence within our Sport, being the biggest advertisers in Mags,Contests
etc. Many outside Companies have expressed interest in being involved with
Surfing, but this could break the monopoly of the Clothing Companies and so
these directions are usually stifled. For me Surfing already is commercial,
and any interest from Big Companies would help the Surfers put their Sport
in the same Prize Money brackets as many other more 'normal' Sports.
I hope this helps a bit, let me know if you need more info.
Good luck,
