“SHAKA”greeting

“SHAKA”greeting

“SHAKA”greeting to you too is a hand gesture that
sometimes gets mixed reactions and open to different interpretations. We
would have to go back a long way to discover the origins.

One theory says it dates back to the Spanish explorer times greeting the
Hawaiians with the suggestion of a drink which was greeted in return as
a “Hello” gesture by them, and they would respond almost like wise,
with their interpretation of the “SHAKA”greeting to you too.

Leg Ropes

Leg Ropes
Leg Ropes
Leg Ropes way back when the Leg Ropes invention…was born out of necessity, it was regarded as an instrument for kooks, and was labeled the “Kook Cord’. It would be fair to say that it was a really dangerous addition, as it was made of all sorts of “rope” bits and suction caps, dubious rubber cording, with a bit of imagination thrown in.
What surfaced quickly, seemed to catch on for the Kooks (every one wanted one) was a surgical cord of dubious dimension tied off at one end by a bit of rope, and then tied to a hole drilled through the fin,(as plugs at this point of time didn't exist) and then tied off around your ankle one way or another. Some times the cord was tied so tightly around the ankle, it could squeeze the blood out of your toes.
The thing with these Leg Ropes was that they were really quite dangerous, and early users were caught out by boards careering back at them at high speed, smacking the user in the head, or even worse, poking an eye out. Enter Jack O Neil, iconic Wetsuit inventor and new eye patch wearer.

Mick
Fanning Wins J-Bay
Mick Fanning wins J-Bay Open in South Africa beating Joel Parkinson in
the final. The first wave of the heat Fanning makes a double-barrel and
commits to powerful carves scoring a 9.0. He then finishes strongly on
17.00 overall to claim his second World Championship Tour win of the
season
FCS press release stated recently that, "FCS is excited to announce the
global release of the new FCS II System and Essential Series fin range.
Set to become the new world standard in system technology and
performance, is designed to accommodate all surfers; regardless of their
age demographic, surfing genre, or the boards and waves they’re riding.
I think that was back in 2011 and goes round again...cant keep a good
thing quiet.

Mick reflects, "I had the perfect board and fin set up for this event: I used the same size board with a narrower tail which gave the maneuverability and response I wanted, and my large fin gave me the control I needed, especially on the last day in the bigger, windy conditions", added Mick after the win".

Two ASP World Titles have been won by surfers riding the FCS II fin system since being released onto the market, 2011.
