finally got around to watching this news blurb about apple's factory in china. workers at Foxconn make $1.70 something an hour, lunch costs 0.30, and rent to live in a communal dorm room with thousands of other people is $17 a month. in China Foxconn is considered a great place to work! the news report made me wonder about all the other multitude of things i buy that come from china... i wondered how those workers fare, what they're getting paid, and the dangers they're exposed too. do they even know how dangerous their work is?

Best race of the year? Let's take inventory: Cranking trades and swell? Check. Long scary exposed cliffside section of random gaping holes/ tall whitewater bombs? Yep! 5 miles of deep water, warp speed downwind porn? Yes sir. Final leg of shallow reef crossing, with big swell feeling bottom and standing up tall at your back? But of course! That was the best 27 bucks I've spent in a while.

G'day everyone

Are there any races on the third week of August?

I am looking for manufacturers of outrigger canoe paddling clothes and accessories. Can anyone steer me in the right direction. Does anyone know who prints all the t shirts like you find at Pacific Paddler? Any type of paddling accessories would be good.
