Cheers dudes I’m at the Canterbury hospital waiting lounge as we speak

Yeah might get it stitched tomorrow. Can’t be fucked tonight. Happened first wave second go out today. Held up in the lip on takeoff then cartwheeled. Stayed out for another hour as it didn’t hurt much. Got a cracking left last wave in the hobbled up the beach, it started stinging like fuck soon as ...

Reckon I’ll dodge stitches. Betadine and pressure bandage FTW

Classic 4-6 foot beach break conditions. Surfed the entire Maroubra stretch. Started north end and surfed left after left until I reached the south end then finished with a right. Surfed the 6’2 twin , it performed and handled perfectly.

For reference this is a Nigel Beckham twin. A 6’9 I owned. Fast as fuck and super wild top to bottom. Liked hollow waves, burgers not so much. https://i.postimg.cc/VvrkzbV7/IMG-1719.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/L8dn6NRj/IMG-1720.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/MG5T5wBY/IMG-1721.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/k5qGWG2...

What’s Voodoo like at 2-3 ft?

Today was fun and cruisey. But even at 3 foot it can pack a punch with a long period south swell and low tide.

Voodoo 2-3 foot dawn session. Surfed the 6’2 twin. Goes great backhand. Got a few that went right the way thru inside the point. Cutting back it felt I could take a higher line and drive deeper back into the pocket, unrestricted without the centre fin.

2-3ft righthand reef break top end of east corrimal. similar size to yesterday, but better quality and just a little less energy. Clean conditions, fast walls and a nice lip to rip into. Surfed the 6'2 twin. That thing's becoming super comfortable and very easy to surf. Loose but good control and qu...

yeah, pretty much. I've had the board out a few times now and it looks and feels identical to an MR twin I've ridden before.

fucking great boards! so much fun.

2-3 foot east corrimal earlier on, nice shape, clean. Left and right options. Had a bank all to myself

If I had more time up my sleeve I'd have headed south. it was still Ok but, decent enough waves.

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 pyzel options look decent also. Wildcat: https://pyzelsurf.com.au/products/wildcattwin Happy Twin: https://pyzelsurf.com.au/products/happytwin Both gh3y names but whatever :lol: Anyone surfed either of these boards? The happy twin looks more small-wave focused. Am preferring the look of the WC ...

Took the afternoon off and hit up north Maroubra. Not ideal conditions, long period south swell etc. but still some inconsistent and reasonably punchy overhead sets coming through. Surfed the 6’2 twin fin. Put in a four hour session to give myself a solid chance to figure the board out. So far, it f...

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...

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...
