RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Yeah, I want my own. Really nice board. Trust me, I tried to lose Carroll's address. I went to a hypnotherapist but that didn't work. I went out looking for a one-punch kinda thing, but Marrickville's more into pho and ukuleles than punching, so that didn't pan out. Finally, Nick threatened my famil...

I get so petulant when I'm at home on the school holidays and my wife is trying to organise stuff to do with the kids and I can't just say, Nup, I'm going surfing during these hours, on these days, you'll have to work around that. Instead, I get a bit pouty. Even worse when I ask her what she wants ...

Stop fighting over me, fellas. I ain’t goin’ with either of you.

Great read. Thanks thud.

Thanks Nick, pretty sure I don't have that, but I'll shine a really bright torch down there tonight.

What is a high-ankle sprain?

As do I.

Yeah Carroll, check your privilege. You probably get franking credits, too.

Steve fell off.

When I was a teen, I had a mate who was a really good surfer and totally (stupidly) fearless. He had a two-stage pop up which was quite slow. He was a goofy and loved big South Narrabeen lock-ins. I have no idea how he made the drop on those things. He also loved that left next to pipe in front of C...

Atan Madisson, aj. I felt like petubot must when buying jeans, except these aren't actually a womens model. I went for the Xcel Drylocks. I'll report back. Every time I've tried booties, I've given up after a couple of waves, but I reckon my circulation is getting worse because I'm only getting abo...

What did you get, legion?

Sheeit. I hope there's something tomorrow- AJ is meeting me and I don't want to disappoint him and the MC from NC!

It sleeps in my bedroom. Oh, the things it has seen!

Thank you, Nick. And now, back to the studio... post up a report after your first surf aj, go hard on the detail. Do you mean like… The board lay in the back of my beat up maroon ‘96 Volvo wagon. A cool sou’ wester blew and my taupe angora jumper was barely adequate. I eased the key out of the slig...

5’10” x 187/8” x 23/8” “modern” revee to single concave to flat exit square squashtail Pretty easy board to ride but if you wanna push it it's a real power surfing board, good entry line thanks to the straightened rail next to the front vee, nice lift from the very moderated concave, very solid in ...

Ah well, Trev, you see I also have a neck issue. Lucky, aren't I? That's to do with osteophytes on a couple of vertebrae. Ageing sucks balls.

I’ll let Nick speak to that as he’s all over the technical stuff. It’s lovely, though.
