Other than a new stadium to replace the Vetch (White Rock stadium - is on google and virtual earth I think) Swansea is pretty much the same !

Some excellent surf recently, and of course the world record surfers chain just last Saturday 15th in Swansea Bay.

I think the cutting compound i use is a little bit more abrasive than t-cut. I can find out for definate later and let you know.

Good show bro. Nice job on your first board, It's all a learning curve and if you do more you can only get better. Congrats on the kid thing and good thing your doing the board now cause soon you won't have time or space or money HA HA but I wouldent trade my kids for the world( even though they are cutting into my board making/repair/surfing) 14 and 3 , just got my 3 year old out on a board ha ha lilshizz actualy rode standing HA HA just wait you'll be there sooner than you think!! Well lets see the pics of that thing when it's all done ( the board I mean ) pics of kid are nice but a lil premature. Oh yea be sure to let us know how it surfs?? Good luck with all (kid & board) you'll be slowing down soon enough to help the momma a bit and it's probably wise ya don't want any of the poly toxins around the (stork package).
