Here is my pop up tip, noting my level of sucking: for a natural, place left hand on board below shoulder at around mid rib level, place right hand way way down near your hip (reverse for goofy). Not sure who told me this, might have been someone on this site at some stage (NC I guess) but its made...

here we go?

running out of time.

Tonks if it is a surf trip I'd push it into April. Still fukall trades and more chance of surf.

or go in Oct/November.

Personally I don't think any of those Coral Coast waves are worth getting on a plane for.

Alot of surfers who've surfed since Carroll got pubes have a weak pop-up and poor take-off.......it's an ingrained habit that doesn't get better with surfing more......it just becomes more of an ingrained bad habit. Anyway try doing both of those exercises once or twice a day. It'll take you less th...

c'mon GSTQ, comprehension is usually your strong suit.

It's in the post already.

How's your pop-up? Few months out of the water and it's usually the first skill to degrade significantly.

swimming doesn't help it.

from observation and experience the thing most easily fcuked up and remedied by the average recreational surfer is the take-off. Carroll deals with the technique capably in his book . Alot of surfers are weak in the middle and this makes for a slow and clumsy pop-up. Do these two exercises and you w...

Vic, I think behind the questions lies a deeper question? Why are pro surfers so dumb? It could be a lack of basic education....maybe they don't understand simple concepts like cause and effect. You have to look at a guy like Slater who is capable of rational thought and analysis, often during a hea...

I have a question about your book.

Have to go get the kids now, will ask later.

I suppose I should google it as instructed.

waves look fun, but I'm a sucker for backlit lefts.

Why are you going then?

parkos roundhouse. to be savoured.

judges are overcooking Bourez.

breaking news, an unsponnoed ex world champ gets a new no-name sponsor.

this is bush league to the max.

dire.

total crapshoot.

the winner will be the guy who can blitz limited opportunity. I hate to say it but that means Fanning over Smelly Skater.

and if Holy Toledo wins it doing twirly birds I'm gunna kick both Braithwaite and Beerfan in the nutz with steel capped boots.

Can everyone just calm the fcuk down?! As soon as shearer devises his scale of sexism I'll calm down. There must be a scale. While I admit, what I'm saying is sexist. I feel that would be at the lower end of sexism, while the taliban who've suppressed, beaten, tortured, humiliated and raped women s...
