RealSurf Surfers' Forum

I will be visiting the Sunshine coast for a week on the way to PNG at the end of January
Where would be a good base for a few days with holiday accommodation walking distance to the beach with mellow crowds and waves, good cafes etc

Thanks

Both great for surf and interest sights sounds and smells but in April both are between seasons ie NE and SW monsoon so conditions variable and not consistent with swell or wind direction ..if you can accept that sure to have fun

The Andamans only works well at NE/SW monsoon transition months earlier not much swell, later too much wind

ANYONE RIDING DICK VAN STRAALEN POCKET ROCKET?.. HOW DO THEY GO WHAT WAVES DO THEY SUIT..

I have had a 6-9 waterskate for a couple of years and the more I use the more I realise what a great everyday board it is.. Now thinking of getting a V skate for bigger days and when a lot of duck diving is needed

Any feedback from V skate riders appreciated

Anyone riding these looking for a good wave board as a step up from my fuller template quad fish and Miller waterskate... Amy others to think about

Who cares...just tell us how the board goes and compares to what you rode before

Thanks guys for all the feedback Much appreciated. Will buy you a beer should I ever get to Sydney!

Last questions

What do they cost?

Any email or tel contact for Billy Tolhurst or T&C or dealer who is reliable?

Thanks Botters Very useful info
What other type of boards did you ride before?
About the fin change ... what did it come with FCS and all the same size?
So you kept two and put two bigger ones in?

Thanks Tootr That is very useful feedback The problem I have is I live in Asia so need to order a board mail order! I have ridden mal for years but in the last couple of years got bored with them and started riding shorter boards so far mid 6'8" Miller waterskate and a single fin Mcoy. Want to try s...

Any feedback on these boards? ... never had a fish before. want to try the swoop and glide of a fish but I ride beach breaks and reefs and backhand so this seems to be a better option than a twin keel.

Anyone know how to contact Billy Tolhurst ..email preferably.
I see from this forum his performance longboards are highly regarded how about his fishes etc Thinking about his quad fish.

Any here riding Mackie boards? ..interested in thoughts on the fish and hybrids. Thanks
