Re: Sets to 50 feet on outer reefs Monday....

yeah coops that was at rocky point if i remember correctly. Interesting question i always thought the reason for drop ins is because more paddle speed is required to get into the big waves and its seems to be more a case of if they can get into them or not, if i paddled for a wave out there i know i...

Re: psychological aspects to bigger wave riding

I don't think its wanky at all, and i'd love to see what a sport psychologist has to say about it. Big surf makes me feel calmer or i need to be calm to be in big surf, pre surf i like to listen to really slow chilled out music which seems kinda contradicting. The only reasoning i can give this is p...

i learnt on a 5'8 twinnie. it realls depends i think if you already have a feel for catching waves (eg switching from bboarding or bodysrfing) short is way better. long boards are easy to catch waves on but i find in 2ft (what most noobs learn in) they are harder to turn and get trimming. or maybe i...

i reckon geez! cant tease and not deliver. i would not be surprised however, stab, in my opinion have always been crass. i have never actually bought a copy but just from browsing i was pretty dissapointed. i think they ran a story 'great whites, 15 way to kill the bastards' or something like that.
