A Surfer’s Dream

funny, I have 2 friends that are professionals, I have not seen them in years, darryl wong and warren bolster.

I have seen cameras that have housings on sale on ebay, do a search there, in the camcorder section type in the word water or housing, waterproof anything that applies to what you want. Also search the side bar for completed items, that gives you a reference on what the cost was.

If you buy it new, its an arm and a leg.

Edit, just seen this come up! :: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Handycam-Sports-SPK-DVF2-underwater-casing_W0QQitemZ120382541600QQihZ002QQcategoryZ50507QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

In Malibu.

What’s a good way (company) to get a surfboard shippied from Orange county to Concord/Pleasant hill thats not gonna cost me more than the board? I am looking at a surfboard in OC but I can’t find a cheap way to get it shipped where its not gonna end up in 1,000 pieces.

I have heard that you can use Greyhound to ship stuff like boards. As long as it is packaged well it should arrive okay. Why not just buy one closer to home? Go to SF or down to Santa Cruz.

I have an indie style and I love the waves that some of the girls have. Especially like Amanda Seyfried in Mama Mia. I only like waves though when they are equal like that. Like when they are all in the same parts, not just messy looking. I don’t have any of those fancy hair curlers or straighteners or anything. How can I get those perfect waves without spendingmoney on those stupid things? I have tons of hair curlers and stuff. Hair tutorials or understandable descriptions would be prefered.

try braids? leave them on at night.

My internet becomes very slow when I put on a couple of downloads on Utorrent..
How do i change that?
Can I change something in preferences to make my internet surfing more enjoyable?

If you limit your upload in uTorrent to 80% of your overall upload capacity, then you should have no issues surfing. This article on setting uTorrent up for best speeds (limiting upload also helps download speed in uTorrent) has more info and links to help:

Kerry McGregor
Manager – Sharon Osbourne
Odds – 28/1 (Outright), 10/1 (25 & Over Winner)

Kerry McGregor is 31 years old, from West Lothian and is a full time single mother to 18 month year old Joshua. She is a paraplegic and uses a wheelchair and crutches after breaking her back at the age of 13 after falling out of a tree.

She is very close to her mother who she describes as her ‘backbone’. Her father was run over and killed by a drink driver when she was six years old. Her experiences and courage was rewarded with a Child of Achievement Award in 1988.

Kerry comes from a musical background and is no stranger to the music industry. Her grandfather was known as the Scottish “Bing Crosby” and she entered the Song for Europe, coming second. Her entry “Yodel In The Canyon Of Love”, lost out to Katrina And The waves.

Kerry has also had a record deal in the past and reached number 21 in the charts with a song called “Freedom”. She has also had some acting experience and played Carol-Ann in the Channel 4 show “The Book Group” in 2003 and featured in a Radio 3 play called “Peeling” which was about disabilities.

Kerry auditioned for the X Factor in Glasgow and sung Maria McKee’s “Show Me Heaven”. All three judges were impressed by her with Simon Cowell complimenting her with: “good voice, good song choice – yes”. Louis Walsh was also convinced and said: “good voice – sounds like you mean it. Yes” and Sharon Osbourne made it three in a row with: “great voice, great face. Yes”.

At bootcamp Kerry sang “Something” by The Beatles and “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me” by Dusty Springfield. Judge Mark Hudson described her as “beautiful inside and out” but fellow critic Adrian Williams did not think she was as good as the contestants. Sharon agreed with this sentiment but argued she had “a great aura about her”.

The performance that convinced the judges that Kerry was worthy of inclusion in the final 12 was at the judge’s house where she sang “You’ve Got A Friend” by Carole King.

Adrian said that he had been negative about her during the bootcamp but this this performance had persuaded him she was finals material. He felt this was the best he’d seen her perform and while he still thought she was not as good a singer as some of the other female contestants he liked her. Sharon said Kerry’s eyes sparkled while she sang and she was won over by her lust for life.

There is no doubt at all that Cuba is a unique island full of interesting sights and sounds you cannot experience anywhere else in the world, but what it’s sometimes easy to forget is that there’s also a lot of exciting activities off the island – in the expanse of Caribbean waters that surrounds it. From fishing to scuba diving, Cuba has all kinds of attractions for people to enjoy just off the coast – here are some of the must-dos.

Try Your Hand at Scuba Diving in Cuba

Scuba diving in Cuba is amongst the very best in the world – all tastes are catered for and whether you’re a first timer looking for lessons, or a veteran looking to explore sunken wrecks and caves, the island has got you covered. The top spots for scuba diving in Cuba are Cayo Coco, Maria La Gorda and Santiago de Cuba – depending on the style of diving you’re looking to enjoy. Wherever you go though, you can expect to see hundreds of tropical fish and colourful types of coral – the kind of thing it’s well worth investing in that underwater camera for!

Sample Surfing for the First Time

While Cuba holidays aren’t always associated with surfing, some good practice can be had, especially if you’re on the island in the winter months of September to December – and maybe a little later if you’re inexperienced and looking for smaller waves. The east coast of the island offers the best waves, generally speaking, though it’s by no means the only spot! Be sure to bring your own board, as you’ll struggle to find one to use there.

Relax With a Spot of Fishing

Ernest Hemmingway popularised fishing on the island during his infamous stay in Cuba and many people are keen to follow in his footsteps. He used to fish for marlin out of Havana, but also was known to explore the North West coast at Cayo Guillermo. Cayo Coco is another good spot, but unlike in other countries fishing is legal across the island so find the best location for yourself and share your anecdotes with fellow Cuban fishermen!

Swim with Dolphins

Swimming with dolphins is something of a life changing experience for many, and certainly joining the graceful mammals underwater is breathtaking, once you get past the initial fear factor! If this sounds like your dream Cuba holiday activity, then the resorts of Varadero and Holguin are where you should head. From there, you can take special trips out to sea, allowing holiday makers to get closer than ever before to the charming creatures.

Explore the Aquatic World With a Snorkel

If you can’t quite bring yourself to take a series of diving qualifications, then snorkelling is an easier option with less training required. There are a number of good spots where you’re guaranteed to see some interesting sea life – Guardalavaca, Cayo Coco and Playa Jibacoa. The majority of beaches in Cuba will offer snorkeling of some kind, but if you’re serious about it, these really are the best spots.

Don’t worry if this list leaves you cold. There are all sorts of Cuba holiday activities for you to take part in that don’t involve you getting near any water. From salsa to cigar factory tours, a holiday on the island has you covered, even if you don’t fancy surfing or scuba diving in Cuba.
