I'm cooked.

the whole summer of surf has caught up to me.

sat out overhead uncrowded point surf this arvo. Too cooked to consider it.

I'm so happy this week will be small.



time for ding repairs and a rest.

I went to a party last night and got wrecked.
got a few today with a wretched hangover but had to sit the late session out. looked really good.

it's a miss.

it's just insane what he's doing out there now.

what did he say?

so much fun here.

I've been zig zagging back and forth between my 6'6"Desert Storm and a 5'8" Twinny all week and fuschia myself up.


today the 6'6" was about perfect.

waited all day, having some really good chats on the headland.

it was a good vibe day in the water and on the land.

3 bomb sets.

I’m saying 525 tops.

a) used
b) big board for the design
c) shit house board that looks like a Zepplin
d) I like how the numbers 525 look
e) something

100% correct.

I'm waiting for the Sat morning froth to subside a bit.

yeah, very much so.

and the major diff is that the board still flat out trims like a mofo unlike that Chilli which has the front half of the board flapping around in the breeze like a half sucked cock.

good mid has to have that flat out trim speed otherwise its poor design.

Those twin pins look so good under good surfers feet, but so, so, so shit when kooks ride them after watching instagram videos.

one of that ten pack jumping off last night had a channel twin but a 6'4" version.

absolutely shredding on it but I think he was genuine ripper.

this is the board he;'s riding.

the goofy in here is a pal of mine.

I see him riding that mid-length twin a lot.

I think it's a 7'0".

he rips on it.

carvers are great.

Brocky has been shaping tri-plane hulls (single to double concave ) since the late 60''s.

his bottom contours are insane.

Was fun, bailed when I saw Steve and 10 others lining up to paddle out at once.

how slippery where those rocks?

did you see me go Cnut up?

winds dropped out looking v. fun.
bluewater chunks.

to be fair there has been some advancement in the design.

thought that Chilli looked shit.

half the board is out of the water at all times. terrible rocker.

just an inefficient shortboard.
