Crusader 5/3mm titanium winter wetsuit

Advantages: Cheap, some decent features
Disadvantages: Cheap!

...Having bought a few big name wetsuits which were by no means perfect I thought I'd try one of the cheap, no frills options. Crusader sell direct from their website or on ebay. The ebay option works out cheaper most of the time and the delivery is pretty quick. The suit itself is nothing special to look at; standard black with red or blue trim. There are no pre-bent elbows or knees here, just thick, standard neoprene. Movement is restricted by this suit moreso than in a more expensive brand, but not by a great deal. The fit isn't great, the torso having no contouring to it. Buy one for a guy with a big chest and you'll find a little too much loose material around the waist. The other problem with these standard sizes is that taller people will struggle. There is no extra tall option so you may find yourself going from Large to...

Review of Crusader Surfing Wetsuits

Circle One wetsuits

Advantages: Keeps you warm
Disadvantages: A bit thin for winter surfing

...too large and feel that you will grow into it, the best thing to do is to wear a rash-vest underneath. This will stop the rubber parts of the suit rubbing your neck and chest, its also provides a little extra warmth in the winter. They tend to look ok, normally just black and have different coloured bit under the arms, but style really isn't the point. The zip system on these wetsuits is simple and easy to use even in the winter when you can't feel your hands, and I have never found that it has started to come undone during a session. PRICE I live in the West Country so I don't really know how they are priced in northern or Irish surf areas. But here the price of a wet suit is very high in the summer when there are a lot of tourists around. The best time to buy them in my opinion around Devon and Cornwall is at the end...

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 Couch Surfing

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...

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...

Review of Surf Washing Powder

SUN FRESH SURFS UP

Advantages: Smells good and cleans your laundry
Disadvantages: The TV advert

...I firstly came across this laundry tablet in my local Tesco’s. It was on special offer so l gave it a go – l bought the tablets which (I think) were £2.79 for 18 tablets or 9 washes. So, why choose Surf Tablets? PACKAGING – the packaging is excellent. A compact box which holds the round tablets. They are colourful, as well – Sun Fresh is a lovely tangerine colour. The boxes are easy store – they do not take up too much precious cupboard space. SMELL – They leave your clothes smelling very good. You know like how your mum always could get them smelling! I love that initial smell wafting at me when l open the washing machine door. CLEANING POWERS – These two little tablets in their little net back can sure shift a lot of dirt! David (my partner) plays cricket regularly...
