RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Read it and not sure exactly what he’s getting at but if it’s what I think then it doesn’t make sense to me.

Little discussion from a few years ago, with accompanying crappy pics courtesy of me ...http://forum.realsurf.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=27872 I’m a bit like Hatchy, lived there for a little while, never followed surfing via magazines or whatever and never been interested in anything other than ...

Heath Joske on Equinor. My gut feeling, based on having a few friends in the maritime industry, is that drilling will go ahead, not by BP for now but there will be others once Statoil / Equinor hit the jackpot. There are certain morons here in SA who are pro oil drilling in the bight, like a mayor o...

Something a bit exotic. Looks like one of Rustt’s covers too.

I’ve got to go to Singapore in a few weeks for work and am going to have a week surfing on the way back. Was gonna come back through Bali and see where the waves are but seeing as I’m further West I’d thought I’d check out some land based options on Sumatra to minimise travel time. Was thinking abo...

just to drop the fcuken hammer again I've been on a transition surf movie bender and that seq of MP at Kirra on Morning of the Earth is still a complete jaw dropper. Go to 43min and something on here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak-ZsABf3lc&feature=share Like four years before this was shot, pre...

Decided to give the carver a miss, the guy selling sent me this pic this morning, I think he's asking too much for it and from what I've seen of GSI boards the glass jobs weren't great a few years ago. Also he can't tell me if it's EPS or PU and it was a bit of a drive so I'll pass. https://beta-sta...

Carvers are great boards IMHO, a 7'7 or 7'11 would suit you well MM MM, what I think Cranked is saying is that you might need to go a little easier on the pie floaters before the 7’6” is a feasible option. I turn 61 tomorrow too Foamy :oops: Nah I still use my 6’ 7” Miller Fish sometimes, so it won...

Here’s the link, the writing on the stringer looks like it’s a Tuflite? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/brighto ... 1209641318

Thanks to all Beanpoles, I’m going to check it out when I can.

@Beanpole....I’ve got my eye on a McTavish Carver on Gumtree, 7’6”
Don’t know what the construction is, eps or pu.
Did they come in both? Have you still got one? Good board?

Hassle free parking too

Be back there tomorrow if I had my way.

You can’t beat walking across the road from the hotel with ya board under ya arm Beany, great locale too.

Okay, Prof. I just went for a surf at Newcastle main beach. The water was very pleasant since it was a hot day. I caught a few waves.

Lived there for over 20 years and never surfed in town. No particular reason. Usually to the south and Stockton a lot.

Re safety, yeah fair enough trev and beanpole - you’re pretty old :D they’ve still got feelings. I lived the clubby life when I was younger, but haven’t had any involvement for probably 30 years. It’s not something you forget though, so I can and have helped people in strife and resuscitated a few....
