A decent surfing game for the WII

Advantages: Nice aesthetics and decent gameplay...
Disadvantages: ... inconsistent control system

...Surf's Up is a WII game based on the animated film of the same name. It's a decent game and a pretty good interpretation of the movie, which features surf-boarding penguins. The whole game is based around surf-boarding, though there is also a bonus game where you have to slide down a track on a leaf - obviously this has certain similarities with the main game, but it does have a different feel to it. There are several characters to choose from - in fact, all the main characters from the film. Each surfer has his own range of abilities including speed and freestyle ability, and there is a selection of boards which also add to or detract from your different abilities. As you progress through the game there are lots of different things you can unlock, mainly new characters and boards. You can also add new songs to your track list...

Review of Surf's Up (Wii)

surf spray

Advantages: worth a try
Disadvantages: very expensive

...Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, i was lucky enough to have this brought for me as a Christmas Present and it is a great product, bit on the expensive side, but now i know that it is worth every penny i buy it, it is not a product i would buy if i just saw it in the shop and wanted to try it at around £15.00 a bottle. Surf Spray is a product that has copied the summer feeling of being on the beach, without the pain of sand being there, Its helps to give your hair texture and volume that you would normally get after being on the beach. With the help of adding mositure to your hair to protect it and making it more managable. It can be used by all hair types and is suitable for anyone to use and it smells fresh and clean too, unlike the sea smell you expect it to be. For the best results spray on to damp hair and let dry naturally...

Review of Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray

What a smart board!

Advantages: interactive, great display, useful resources, great teaching tool
Disadvantages: pens and remote too easy to steal, callibration issues

...PLEASE NOTE - PUNCTUATION STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING CORRECTLY IN MY REVIEWS. COME ON CIAO - SORT IT OUT!!! Teaching in schools has been revolutionised by the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms. These boards have been gradually replacing the standard ?dry wipe? whiteboard as the central focus point of the classroom. There are two main brands used in schools at the moment and these are the Promethean Interactive Whiteboard and the SMART board. The Promethean uses one pen as the means of interacting with the board, where as the SMART board uses four coloured pens, an ?eraser? and you can also use your finger. I understand that this is not a product that anyone is likely to buy for their house as is main use is within schools, colleges, universities etc (having said that, businesses are now beginning to invest in...

Review of Couch Surfing

Mammy Can I Go On My Bubby Board Now Preeeze.

Advantages: Saves lugging a double buggy everywhere. Easily detachable and fun for my son!
Disadvantages: Read down sides in op!

...looked happy enough and not at all uncomfortable so off I went to surf the net to see if I could find a reasonably priced one! I should probably add that a Buggy Board is a sort of two-wheeled skateboard, which attaches to the rear of your buggy and your child stands on this rather than having to walk! Mission impossible :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: Well my mission (and I chose to accept it) was to find one for next to nothing or around the £30.00 mark but I could only find two places, which sold these little beauties. www.tesco.com and www.cheekyrascals.co.uk. These are made by a company called Lascal and you can visit their website at www.lascal.ce but you can?t buy from here strangely enough. They do tell you where you can buy them though and I was directed to a to www.cheekyrascals.co.uk but I decided to go for the tesco site as I...

Review of Kiddy Buggy Board

boards for writing on then wiping clean

Advantages: saves paper
Disadvantages: none

...The students in my class use white / dry wipe boards to write/draw scribble on to practice pencil control and to do their work on. These white boards are the modern equivalent of a blackboard, a slate. They are useful in saving paper waste. Johnny can draw and correct many pictures on one of these as when the picture/work is finished with it can be wiped of by using an eraser Certainly easier to clean than a chalk board , cleaner no chalk dust making a mess White board pens seem easier for my special needs pupils to write with than standard pens. The non magnetic white boards our students use are about A4 size, they do come in different size some A3 others that are smaller or bigger. Some I have used have a plastic colored frame border around them others do not have any frame edging. Some are magnetic some not. A white board is...

Review of Adboards Dry Wipe Boards

Everybody is surfing, Surfing USA...

Advantages: Good CGI, Good children's film.
Disadvantages: Not enough adult humour.

...My children and I went out to the local leisure centre today fully intending to go ice skating, unfortunately for them, I twisted my ankle on the way there (I have a weak ankle due to an accident a few years ago) and so skating was completely out of the question as children under 8yrs old must be accompanied by an adult on the rink. So to make it up to them both (who were extremely disappointed as they both love ice skating) we decided to go to the local cinema instead. There were a few films showing that were suitable, Harry Potter, The Simpsons, Bratz movie (son was not amused when I suggested this lol) and Surf's up. As we had already seen the Simpsons, and Harry Potter we opted for Surf's up by default. Surf's up is an animated cartoon film with a slight difference in that it is filmed to look like a documentary...

Review of Surf's Up (DVD)

SURFS UP

Advantages: Great fun, great exercise, Croyde is a good break, and a very nice summer resort to visit
Disadvantages: Can be dangerous if you are unfit, or unprepared

...I was lucky enough to be introduced to surfing at a very young age, living in the West Country where it’s easy to get to good quality, friendly surfing spots in reasonable time. I grew up on the North Devon coast; so playing in the water came naturally. At the age of 14 I was introduced to 'real' surfing, and haven't looked back since. Surfing, if you have the chance to do it is one of the best ways to keep fit and the feeling it gives you is just amazing, that you really need to try it for yourself. I would urge anyone just to give it a go, well worth it! As a really young kid I started surfing the waves on a bogie or belly board. This is a short foam board of about 4 foot long. It is very buoyant, and you never stand up, just lie down chest down and catch the wave. Belly boarding is great, its cheap and easy to learn, and you...

Review of Surf Breaks, Croyde

Sensational Twilight from Surf Small and Mighty

Advantages: Great fragrance, easy to use.
Disadvantages: May not suit male users due to feminine scent

...Review of Surf Twilight Sensations Small and Mighty biological laundry liquid. Jasmine and Black Gardenia fragrance. The Product Surf is a well know laundry detergent brand, produced by the Unilever group of companies. The trade name 'Surf' has been in use since 1959, making it a long standing household name in the United Kingdom. I am reviewing the latest in the Surf range of laundry products, a fragranced biological washing liquid in the Small and Mighty format. The product I am reviewing is the 630ml size. This size of product is sufficient for 18 wash-loads of normally soiled laundry As the name suggests, this liquid is highly concentrated, meaning a smaller package with the same Surf cleaning capabilities. The product is designed to work at all temperatures, even in cold water and leaves clothes smelling fresh...

Review of Surf Twilight Sensations Jasmine & Black Gardenia

Surfing the Waves of Cleanliness

Advantages: smell, price, everything
Disadvantages: nothing

...Piles of dirty washing and a machine always on the go. How is it possible to create so much dirty laundry when there are only two of us? We go through so much washing powder that I usually tend to buy the one that's on offer or just what's cheapest. Surf tropical washing powder, 1.10kg, was on offer in my local Somerfield, for £1.99, recently so I stocked up and brought 3 boxes. It states it removes the top 99 stains (I'm sure that the full list of stains would be interesting!) or your money back! The top 10 removed stains are: Beetroot Tomato Juice Egg yolk Felt tip pens Baked bean Fresh deodorant Syrup Strawberry ice cream Soy sauce Blackcurrant jam Now My boyfriend is pretty messy (well we both are) and I usually have to remove at least 5 of these stains from his work shirts (he works in a restaurant). This is...
