Bats, airs & alternative uses for surf wax.

I’ve just watched The Batman. Awesome movie. Great interpretation of both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Anyhow, the scene when he beats the living poop outta those gangsters makes me think – isn’t that the kind of car guard we need? Armour, martial arts skills and absolutely no mercy on criminals?

The simplest way to explain to a grom how a vinyl record works is to point out the endless air reverses done in pro surfing finals in waves under 4 feet. Cindy Cynical, Youtryitville

Dear Cindy Cynical, I get the impression you’re slightly underwhelmed, unimpressed and flummoxed by air reverses. What will convince you then? Huge, tweaked airs? 900 degree rotations? Varials? Kickflips? Doing an air from your wave to the one behind it, dropping in be damned? Airing with a tandem partner? Doing an air reverse with weights tied around your genitals? Teaching your pet to boost airs? Airing across the Atlantic from J Bay to Rio? Reanimating the dead then making them launch an aerial? There’s just no pleasing the likes of you.

Those surf hats, whether with a peak or with a floppy brim – are practical as hell in terms of preventing sun damage and glare. Yet, I find myself wanting one with Mickey Mouse ears. D Duck, Dismalland

I’ve started eating my own surf wax. It’s been a rough week. Mntali Mental, Headcase
