Yes the new ,T.Pattersons J-File boards are now in the shop ,we waited a while but their here and they look great the carbonfiber inlay running through the bottom is fresh for 2010 apparently it gives the board some extra ping . these boards are replicas of Jordie's boards shaped by Timmy earlier this year and gave the young man a nice start to the WCT 2010.Jordie is on fire and was beaten by Mick by a silly fraction.Kelly doesent seem to stop got...

It seems like yesterday ,Tank myself and smokie were having a few drinks after a surf session in the famous Smokies soup bowl bar ,yes it was a land mark and every pro surfer that ever came to Barbados and every surfer that challanged the famous soup bowl has been in the bar even if it was just to say thanks for droping in on me ,Smokie .His reputation was larger than life and he is in just about every...
