RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Shocker today. Picked all the wrong waves, catch a few close outs, head up the beach to where it looked better and then good ones came through where I had just been. Rinse and repeat.

I got to the carpark and it had started gusting 35kt and so much rain I couldn't see the water during squalls. And the waves sucked. I bailed.

Cott main, Sandtrax?

I want Carroll piss tested. He’s behaving peculiar

Post 6 foot surf Nick > Friday arvo Loofy.

IMHO, Hi per equipment generally doesn’t suit the irregular surfer, particularly when a minor mistake causes all speed to be lost.

I thought you were already back in the water Cranked? Technically I guess, I have surfed twice on my 8' McCoy, once for 30 minutes, the other for an hour. ATM I can't do push-ups nor chin-ups, but I'm working on easier variants. I'm adding about 10% more load to my exercise routine nearly every day...

There's about 10 quite good reef breaks spread over about 10k. If the offshore reef didn't block and disrupt the swell the area would really rate as a surf location, but it does and it isn't Spent a lot of time in that location in my teens. I remember a good beachie prior to a housing development r...

Influencers! Once the first one succumbs to steve's charms they will all be queuing up

If Steve's soccer coaching skills had them queuing up, it'll be like the Boxing Day sales once they see his surfing ability.

I think your definition of smaller surf probably differs from mine. The same for bigger waves as well! But I agree here with Shearer & Thud, a bigger board allows me earlier entry into waves where I'd probably otherwise get smashed at a critical takeoff due to lack of water time, poor reflexes, poor...

but proper step-ups can ameliorate the deficiencies in a sub-par skill set. Only because they stop people from trying to turn. but no-one rides 6'3"'s anymore, we've been brainwashed into thinking anything bigger than a 6'1" is a mini-mal. ^ This. This whole extra short trend, while not as extreme ...

See a lot of this, slaves to fashion. Despite the huge amount of choice, so many people riding boards that they just aren't good enough or fit enough to ride.

Yeah I’m kinda taking the piss there c I worked in Sydney for a decade then moved to southern fcuking California. There's no way I'm going through that shit again. I'd rather be one of the underemployed. Still plenty of swell today, already a bit bumped from the impending SE wind, I imagine still s...

Well Monday was the best day of the year in Sydney and yesterday was the second best, it was forecast for days ahead and even a bat coulda seen it on the weather charts*, you don’t get a whole lot more predictable than that. But still it wasn’t all that crowded along much of the northern beaches, w...

well snapper sure is pumping, but man! there is some special delivery kookery going on out there

Saw a clip yesterday which should have been titled "Occy drops in on everyone"

Same, surprised how easy it was to find a bit of space early. Did the dawnie, saw an awesome red sunrise, got heaps of waves with the closest person, also by himself, 30 metres away. Banks loving the swell direction. Crowds started turning around 8am, so bailed. All day offshore likely so will hit i...

Steve. How much of it do you reckon will make it down to Sydney and south NSW by Tues-Wed? I’ve seen surf sites calling 5-6 foot. Thats double overhead sets.

Over call?

I reckon Narra will be all time.
