Followed by twenty lines of rubbish. Don't they teach you about net
courtesies, Alan?

More to the point, what does it actually mean?
I've used it elsewhere on this newsgroup and I still haven't the faintest clue.

I've always read it to mean /unfriendly/ .

Sorry if I had offended anybody - Andy is a friend of mine who has just
returned
to college. Hence the jibe about spelling. I'm sure he wasn't
offended.

I'd be interested to know about the "twenty lines" of rubbish though, as
my reader
shows only my sign-off and four line info block. Is there anything
after that I can't see?

Whenever I've used the word gnarly to describe surf. The conditions have
been blown out with medium to large confused messy waves.

Not the best of conditions, but still great fun depending on either how
desperate you are for some wave sliding, or the company you get to play
with. ;-)

Right Guy's thanks for that.

I've concluded that it should be gnarly. I consider it to mean testing
conditions in any form of activity, I suppose unfriendly was a good
definition except I quite enjoy what I perceive to be gnarly boating.

On another note I've heard/read a lot of theory on cartwheels, still
cant do them but I am trying. Can anyone enlighten me with regard the
new move the "Side loop" which i overheard Shaun, Jan and Justin talking
about the other day ?

Dont be a stranger....
