Firstly what do we want to do?
  • Make surfski information centralised and accessible
  • Build an online community of surf-ski enthusiasts
  • Welcome and guide newcomers to the sport
  • Provide useful and credible content
  • Have fun
  • Paddle a lot
What inspires SurfSki.Info?

SurfSki.Info is inspired by the spirit of Open Source software - where a community give freely of their talents to create something that is of benefit to others. Computer folk have quietly become some of the most generous people around. Communally they produce the best software available - all for free! This site would not be here without these people, I thank and salute them.

Speaking of good people... while browsing the surfski newsgroups on Yahoo I came across regular high-quality postings by a person named Rob Mousley, who Dawid Mocke once described as the 'keenest surfkier on the planet'. I wrote one email to Rob on the 25th November telling him of my fledgling website and that same day I had an inbox full of articles and the site's daily visitor count went from 6 to 160. He is a human network, it is fitting that he works for a company called Grapevine. Nice work Rob, you share the spirit of open source and are a very welcome partner of SurfSki.Info.

Have you seen the new Robberg Express designed by Hubby Sandberg and Knysna Racing. It's awesome! Peter O'Conor from Gauteng, Mike Davies and Hubby were playing in the 'Big'Knysna Heads this weekend and I caught it on film if you're interested.

Thanks

Alain/Rob I can't seem to find out how to add our event the Bayview TT (see http://bayviewtt.tripod.com/) to your list like the Currumbin event?

Fenn XT VS Epic V10 sport
written by mtkaala1, September 03, 2006
Aloha,

Have you ever seen a performance comparison written between the Fenn Mako XT and the Epic Sport? I think it would be a good review if it compared the over all speed and the wave riding ability of both surfskis in different conditions.

Aloha nui loa
