RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Yeah, I used to surf at a spot frequented by female pro longboarders.
My wife would get cold and get out of the water before us, she often got asked to undo their wettie zips and there were two that used to shampoo each other's hair each morning.

weren't you packing to move house recently Steve?
You're not between dwellings are you?

Just on the 2+1 comment as well. Made a 2+1 for first board but goes so much better as a single due to the flatness, it has ok rocker but thinking need decent (not outrageous) bottom curve to get full benefit for the 2+1 and hence not to wide. that's why I don't shape, and limit my involvement to v...

well, now that the post has been magicked, it don't make much sense at all...

I don't shape so I don't have much to contribute to this section, but I've just ordered a newy. Similar idea to Tiger, a 6'3" step up from my 5'11" small wave quad. It'll be a 2+1, super amped! Good to hear you sorted out your house stuff Digger, sounds like lots of fun. The twinny sounds interestin...

ahh....no.

Insects and crustacea are both arthropods.

They are not both insects, nor are they one and the same.
Just for starters, they have different numbers of legs.

Ace Buchan is probably the best of the pros I've seen close up. thought he was the pick at Jbay Reckon the judging criteria let Ace down a bit, or maybe it's that he doesn't play to them enough. I still can't figure out how he got two barrels on different waves in the one ride and didn't get a 10. ...

How can you know? Shane Dorian? Bruce Irons? Ace Buchan is probably the best of the pros I've seen close up. But the best surfer I've ever seen is a 15 yr old Indonesian boat driver on Lombok. Completely ambidextrous, would surf without a leash and just stand up whichever way was required. Then he'd...

I'm genuinely honoured.

you sure do seem to do a lot of 5 fin boards, Josh.
Would have thought that someone ordering such a fine craft would know what they wanted....

I used to do both.
Now I just rinse.
But I'm going to start towelling the thing down meticulously, just to mess with people.
Got a new chamois just itching to be used.

surfed a bank that's normally only present for a few days after a decent swell, except in summer. The wind was strong cross-off, which is actually needed for the break to work properly. It's never crowded. Never looks good from the beach, and takes a bit of time to get it wired each time, but it's w...

Just out of curiousity Oldman, how did you think they got back into the atmosphere without engines You must know that all satellites are on degrading orbits. The trick isn't in bringing them back, it's in keeping them up there. :mrgreen: I always assumed they used a vacuum cleaner. You're a more pa...

not only do/did the shuttles have engines, but you can get one for free . As long as you live in the US and can pay postage. Read the comments... :lol: btw, the rockets used for docking and positioning (reaction control systems)are called thrusters. The big ones (orbital manoeuvering systems) are st...

Geez, the surf would need a fair bit of power.

jordy gets overscored.

parko, mick, melling!
anyone would think those blokes had spent some time on right points.
love seeing ace win.
