Haven't seen you on the water for a while Flipper. Dust off that longboard and come and join the IWC crew on Australia Day for a bit of longboard fun!
You told us about the boards way back (Flipper1259 maybe)
Sadly, we all believe that occy straps will hold anything in place until we find out otherwise. Best case when the board does a vertical standup excursion for 10 seconds and then crashes back on to the roof. Worst case when you arrive and it has gone, then spend half a day searching the long roadside grass all the way back to home before realizing that somebody must have picked it up to use as a garden feature and the work that you did on the nose is wasted and you are now doomed to riding the Funster which has never been known to overtake a wave.. .
