The recipe I used was really simple: 1 kg rough chopped fish fillets 1 cup coconut milk 2 tbsp brown or palm sugar 3 tbsp of a good red curry paste 3 spring onions 4-5 kaffir lime...

Re: Upgrade

Congrats,great yak. Go the turbo fins, or even better, go straight to the flow fins straight up. The difference with either option is huge, so much better than the standard fins.

Upgrade

So I sold the trusty old Perception Pescadore a few weeks ago so I could stop fantasizing about owning a Hobie. Paid SL Hobie a visit this afternoon and picked up a red 2017 Outback which I am absolutely stoked with. Purchased a few rod extenders and the longer rudder - kept the standard mirage driv...
