RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Short window for lunchtime Dbah. Northerly was getting up. Rip along the wall took me straight out to the shallow bank that was the biggest pain in the arse to penetrate the last 15m. Finally out. First two waves caught behind, current dragged back to the wall and stuck again. Then got a 3 turn bang...

These were the fins I first upgraded to from plastics. Big improvement. (When I later used them in another board that had plastics in them) Not sure the exact construction of them. I bought them new and put them in a 6’2 bushman I bought from RCJ’s quiver. Cost $99 which was a lot at the time - arou...

Actually I tell a lie, in a mate's board we both tried fcs2 accelerator mediums in neo glass and performance core and both much preferred the PCs.
But I'd love to test my bias one day with a blind test.

The confirmation bias could be you two thinking we can’t tell the difference.

(I don’t know, as I said, I haven’t swapped out same template with different constructions)

Fishing as usual.

I notice big differences changing out fin templates even if they only look subtle. Or things like putting a slightly smaller rear fin in. But I've never tried a honeycomb and a fibreglass in the same template/foil on the same board so I'm not sure if I could tell or not. A few in the last couple yea...

Dollars on the line

I don’t think I’ve ever surfed with stitches still in.
I heard a bloke with a cut got sepsis surfing in Lennox recently.

Bit of a wait but.

FCS bringing out a few more classic templates (like MF, AM) in fibreglass and marketing it like it’s a new breakthrough after years of telling everyone how good honeycomb, carbon, and hollow fins are.

I have a good interspecies relationship with them.

Yeh I got a few dirty brown bombs on the 7’1 Gunther

Peepee’s face when going for a relaxing stroll with the wife.

You’re meant to pull under the lip not into it.

As good as it gets on the NB's.

Did you surf?

I am still tempted by this as a step up.
Looks so good but when you’re watching Parko and Jai G it might be a little deceiving.

And the short surfs like it’s longer too with the straight section in the mid part of the outline.
