Thanks to Wayne in Australia for sending in pics of his beautiful spoon quiver. Still no word on British spoons coming to light so we'll enjoy the Aussie ones till then.

Hey man back in the mid 1970's we had a bud who was so inept he was also unable to get to his feet to ride waves :D and I remember having real fun riding his 5ft plus kneeboards stand up! They were loose and fast when ridden that way and you could really get em up on a rail and chuck out the biggest rooster tails on a round-house, only neg was they didn't paddle and I remember giving up and staying out when we were cruised by a shark at Cape Byron one bleak Autumn arvo :0 ah the days, the days ^_^
