Re: Fantasy surfer comp

The WSL fantasy is a different format to surfermag. It's much easier to pick a team cos it's set up different without a salary cap. I knew I had to have fanning on my team for bells, but just couldn't afford him. Not without sacrificing other surfers, and then having to buy them back later at a much...

Re: bonzers.....the quad fad is over

There is this option too, and a bit cheaper. Although I prefer the CW.

I've been getting a few tri sets off these guys, and their quality is good so far.

Think I just learnt something.

If you're out there matticus, how long did it take you to receive the true Ames fin?

Re: bonzers.....the quad fad is over

Thanks stevo. He's a good and powerful surfer, so think we'll go with the 7".

Can't work out how to put a link to the fin I can get from shapers from my ph, but its on their site. Box fins/7" CW.

Any opinions on it, looks like a nice more upright fin to me.

Re: bonzers.....the quad fad is over

Glad I stumbled on this thread. Making a bonzer for a mate of mine who has ridden singles exclusively, and wants a change. Might pick your brains on a few things. It'll be similar to a Russ Short, but with a swallow, want to achieve a little more tail area than the singles I've always made him. It w...

Re: Bells

Yes the forecast looks less than frothable.

Think I'll just be screening it heats on demand, be hard to sit through all the turd polishing.

Re: Fantasy surfer comp

Bells starts tomorrow, so get your team sorted if you haven't already. Anyone who missed snapper, doesn't matter as you get to drop 2 events.

I for one, expect to establish a commanding lead. Vanquishing the hollow threat that is Stenchy Wes.

Re: No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

Much the same for me don. I was hoping for a true landbreeze this morning. So the light overnight northerlies were a bit of a disappointment on one hand, but thankfully not really strong enough to do to much damage. Was actually quite clean where I was, and mostly 3 ft with the odd bigger pulse. Lik...

Re: No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

The trades have been blowing out there for a few days already. Not with a lot of speed, but in a fairly stationary position with good direction. Its a nice bit of sea state for what is currently out there to work on. Sunny coast does well on these set ups. Slow build, slow fall, days of fun beaches....

Re: No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

WTF Braithwaite? It's right in our swell window, all be it towards the eastern extremity. No we won't get much swell from Rueb's alone, nor the fairly weak high alone. But the little squeeze play between the 2 has got me a little bit horny. Wed- Fri earlies look money to me on the sunny hoax.

Re: Fantasy surfer comp

The Brazilians are far more likeable when you have them on your team. If I have de souza on my squad he seems like a fiery little underdog with a heart the size of pharlap, who rips the bag. When I drop him from my squad, he seems like an annoying little pygmy, with a style that reeks faecal matter.

Don't worry boo. Think most will be throwing away this event, so worth jumping in for bells.

Re: Fantasy surfer comp

Can we have a bit more banter and smack talk this year please! Braithy, sense a Slater/AI type rivalry tween you and Donweather. Where you say you are friends, but really hate each others guts. Use any and all means to get under his skin, I wanna see some vitriol. Forecast looks pretty lame ATM, mak...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

I've surfed Sunshine the last 3 mornings, and yeah it's been pretty fun. I've felt a little let down in a way though. The banks are a bit average, and I've had that nagging feeling you get when you know it would be cracking at some of the better beachies around. But time constraints, and not wanting...
