and easier to ride the barrel too.
Fcuks me how those guys make it through waves where you have to pump while doubled over.
and there aren't as many people.

Fin cluster preference differences
I've found that in quads I seem to like relatively large front fins and smaller trailers, whereas in thrusters designed for the same size waves I prefer medium fronts and a large centre fin. Now, my theory is that in the quads I am actually using the front fin (and a more forward point of the rail l...

Re: Surf/Weather - what's coming Mar/Apr?
Don't drag me into your catfight. Braithy, I wasn't claiming local status, nor saying it was a secret spot. I wrote it in bold as a joke, yelling at someone who was liable to shit themselves if startled. Thought a wise owl like yourself might have got that one. If I was really trying to keep it a se...

Re: Quad / Thruster ride report - fin advice needed
Mate you might offend the pro quad crew on here calling a thruster 'the dogs bollocks' but yeh it's hard to beat the good ol thruster all round, ESP through turns. From my limited two-month foray into quads I'd say yeah thrusters do turn better, but they can't hold a candle to a quad for hold and d...

Braithy! STFU!
There was a grom contest on this morning. Invasion of the wave snatchers.
I was in the general area on a bank by myself. Very fun, looked shit from in front.

Re: Surf/Weather - what's coming Mar/Apr?
Bowlo carpark is just about the best protected part of that area, Braithy. More likely to form a headland. Could get attacked at the southern end though. Rest of it is just for show, 'cept for the piles in front of the surf club. Checked it out this morning, looks like they've upped the size of wha...

Re: Quad / Thruster ride report - fin advice needed
Rode a thruster for the first time in yonks today. Normally ride quads or 2+1s.
Forgot how easy they are to turn.
Now I need a new board...
There was more going on than just the difference in fins, but in some bowly beachbreaks it was the absolute dogs bollocks.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Agree with the first part Don, what's the second part about? Boo, where I was surfing there was a deeper outer bank and so the waves would stand up (not break) when moving over this outer bank, thus taking some of the energy out of the wave when it broke on the mid bank that we were surfing. So the...

I was on the mid Goldy on a fun bank, me a mate and 2 muppets complaining about their big night last night and generally just teabagging.
Got some fun ones.

Blind Brazillian surfs Pipeline.
Inspiring, yes, but given most Brazillians are half blind and completely deaf, not remarkable.
