Being a DJ is a lot less impressive than you seem to think it is.


How dare you put thoughts into my head. What gives you right to suggest even the tinniest 'seem to think' I may have. xxxxx.

Go and use your energy doing something more constructive.

DBBB is free to suggest whatever he want as this is an open forum and afterall you are the one who keeps insisting on mentioning the fact that you DJ *looks for the bored smiley*.
I guess you're an aligator wrestler as well seeing as you're insanely brave.

My next door neighbour (bit of a petrol head with a collection of V8 Holdens) has got a real snotty Waverunner, and he said I could borrow it, so if you're ever in NZ, I'd be more than happy to have a crack at towing you into a few good ones. I've got a towbar on the 4wd, so no worries to get to Papas, nice spot too, very picturesque.

I reckon it could be a good laugh.


Well, once I get the money (I run a Deep House and Techno record label too, so the money will be rolling in incrementally faster with time) I will be moving my surfing farther afield, with greater frequency, so if I ever have the time to devote to a week in NZ, I may just take you up on that (very kind) offer.

Much appreciated, thank-you.


Well i hope your label works out and all but dont think just cause you have a label money is gonna come gushing in. The music industry is very hard to break into. Best of luck no sarcasim intended :wink:

All valid points. I only mentioned anything regarding what job(s) I do, in order to convey the levels of 'free time' I have potentially available.

Sorry for any offense caused.

I'll keep my intentions to myself from now on, seems to cause more aggro than is at all necessary...! Thanks for all advice and opinions given, they are all on board fully. Appreciated!

haha i miss threads like this.

the only bad thing i have to say is u said not intrested in doing tricks most tricks in surfing are not tricks but a means to stay surfing the wave as long as pos. 99% of tow surfers are fleashing good surfers on matter what waves they ride pulling off tricks too. the resson i say this is you need to get your butt out no matter what size the waves are and lean to read all different types of waves well, before u even think about tow surfing. when u can rip on nomal waves waves then come back and ask this again.

erm.....well this thread went a bit weird eh?
Hi factotum and welcome to the forum, please take a seat and help yourself to a chocolate covered hobnob, i'll put the kettle on.

What makes you want to charge big waves specifically? Have you been overdosing on Riding Giants? - I feel your pain! Is the buz of 4ft and clean not good enough for you? :) I must confess I didnt read all of your first post - too long for my concentration span, im only interested in my own words when it gets that long :wink: Try not to pigoeon hole yourself - the big wave riders are all round water men - so dont write off tricks and stuff....open your mind maaaaan :lol:
You seem very confident, perhaps excesively so which is why you have been a lil flamed on here but who knows, maybe that will help you charge those 40 story waves or whatever. :ninja:

What type of music do you DJ? My bro in law is a breakbeat and live dnb act and DJ, tis indeed a hard business to break into but a labour of love no?

My beer glass is empty...duty calls! Catch you soon.
