Excellent article! It doesn’t make it any less sad just underscores our inability to act on climate change and shut foreign companies down that are raping our forests for the asian market of fine woods..... it’s the last rhino! We got a little bit of labour out of it and a little bit of economy and ...

That response by the union rep speaking on behalf of forest workers was so incredibly lame… “They are just going to fall down and rot if we don’t harvest them…” What a moron :roll:

For just over $2k you can get a new old stock mid-level 1 year old mountain bike you can ride 365 days a year rain or shine out the door of your house or just about wherever in the world. That is why wings, kites and windsurfers are always going to remain fringe sports. A lot of money for many days...

....duties depending on the mood of the customs guy and product coding by the manufacturer resulting in duties can be disastrous....then you get to pay PST/GST....love it when folks compare apples and oranges arguing it’s cheaper elsewhere.

But the Wing costs only a few hundred euros, ditto for the foil, and a little more for the board. It's still very reasonable and light years away from windsurfing budgets for example." Really? Wingboard costs same as entry level slalom board, wing same or more than sail, doesn’t the foil add u...

What about the beach kind of before most of the beach houses at Gordons about 200-300m prior (heading W) to Tugwell? Lots of parking and beach accesses. Assuming wind is very onshore there but that’s no biggy. Was deserted there today but I’m guessing a busy spot on a hot day there. hmm damn we all...
