Geez Graeme, don’t know what “Wodja” did to you to be the recipient of your not-so-latent aggression, but can I suggest that you have the guts to approach him directly about it, and not muddy the responses to a generally positive short piece reporting on people trying to create positivity within the confines all this class consciousness. (At least he had something positive to say)
And as for making a “buck”, I am pretty sure Wodja did this one for “Mahala”

Keep up the good work Andy and Roger.

PS Andy, Did my old Pacific Dream longboard make it back into the water yet, hopefully with a “blissfully unaware” and joyful “darkie” on it?

Magic stuff Josh

Spending time bringing some positive impact in chidrens lives through sport
Is way better than lobbying to make these kids even more aware of their lack of resources and at same time reminding them of their percieved lack of status (class) in our world.

Darkies on surfboards ? Geez , more like kids having fun . . . . . . . . And opportunity !

Go for it

And there is the thing Feltham, surfboards do not fall out of the sky. We collect them. Part of what mahala does is provide these initiatives with surfboards, through events we throw around the country designed to get boards, through this site and through mahala friends going around and asking for them from surfers, they then come to mahala and we get them to the closest initiative.

Further to this, there is a huge class aspect to this, there is a shit storm going down at the moment, Andy Davis is currently writing a story on that. In this instance we decided to just, y’know write something nice to thank all the peeps who donated boards without getting too sentimental and slushy about it.
