Re: Where did you surf today ?

surprised you managed to get any turns in south swell maroubra Sure, plenty of shut downs, but also peelers in the mix forming angular walls off the dunnybowl with a hell current running opposite direction. If you timed it right against the current you could chip-in an early-take off behind the bow...

The happy twin looks more small-wave focused. Am preferring the look of the WC ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Is Kirra capable of breaking anymore as it used to before the early 2000s sand dredging that helped shape superbank but compromised Kirra in the process? Ive only surfed kirra a handful of times since then. But never seen it break anywhere near as good as it used to late 1980s onwards. It never used...

Re: Ebay Bargains thread

easy search for bargain surfboards on sale from clueless people is "surboard cm". it'll work on facebook, gumtree, probably any site's search function. you'll encounter people with adverts whereby they've taken out the measuring tape and given you the drill on sizings because they're baffled or igno...

Re: Ebay Bargains thread

Or just follow Yoda’s advice “Do or Do not, stop fucking overanalysing a twinnie” Yeah well twin fins are back in vogue with probably countless shapers having a crack at getting it right. Expect consumers to scratch their heads over it, ask questions, be cautious. Same as happened back in the early...

Re: Ebay Bargains thread

I’m also a little hesitant on the plan shape and rocker . Too flat, too wide/bloated? I’ve had a decent custom board off PCC before, that said, he shaped a flat-tracker style single fin, when I was instead after a hi-performance style board :lol: I’m becoming increasingly tempted to just bite the bu...
