I gotta get me a handplane. What one have you got?

One of these

Add some body boarding fins, and you’re set. Solid workout though, lots of swimming and treading water.

Fins and a handplane in the wind. Few fun closeouts tubes.

I'm ok knowing I'll never paddle out there at a size that says drown me.

Woooo actual Sunset today, I wanna see someone seize it

Looking at the webcast, some of the clean up sets look pretty intense.

Iggy - interested?

Lunchy at DY once the nor’easter had got up. Peak to myself down the beach. Bit junky but loads of fun.

I had a crack past the pole earlier but the tide was pretty high, was there more shape on a lower tide?

But he's making 60' Peahi look easier than 6' Honolua.

Freaks.

Some awful surfing happening at Honolua Bay.

Edit...what Nick said.

And it's done. Probs the right call.

Watching the girls at Jaws jump from the top of 25 foot waves. Massive respect, so full on.

Makes perfect sense. Bigger than 4 foot, definitely not 6 foot, there is no 5 foot. He's nailed it.

Iggy - confirmation of the Iggy scale if you would.

Channels. How do you find it compared to a thruster ? Lacks the instant acceleration but has way more flow. A few times ive blown bottom turns due to poor technique, i reckon on a thruster, you can get away with errors and recover far easier from poor positioning. If i was a ripping surfer, i think...

I rode my MiniMerk in a few late sessions this week, such a great design, loving the speed I can get it up to.

New custom? What are you getting?

DY. Super straight lines. Lots of long closeouts. Nothing off the long reef bommies? Kinda weird. I reckon it’s 4ft max over here. Curly was only that size. Bombies weren’t breaking at all. Maybe it’s the tide. Yep, high tide near 2 metres at around 10.30 and then down to 0.2 around 5 pm. I was pus...
