to get a full subscription of Riptide from down under we have to pay international shipping and all that... cost is insane. I was going to renew my subscription the other day and could not afford the price. Its actually about $120, not 150.
Just got back from the water myself... I should have gotten out a lot earlier but had crap to do around here. There was a nice left breaking at my home break and was able to catch a couple nice rides but the swell was messing with the shape... next thing you know it was mostly white water ankle slappers. Whatever... it was cool getting out.
