RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Sorry Butts, as noted elsewhere, I'm 61 today so does that make me the oldest? 8) As also noted on these forums from time to time, I just ride longboards. Although I enjoyed a fling on the fat bat (thanks again Mark), I am happy on a mal. Strangely I am surfing better now than for many years. There'...

They demonstrate what is meant by "vicco doesn't barrell". The 2006 clip has great wave faces and some hollow sections at the top of the wave but no top to bottom stuff. Is that really what Vic surf is like, or are we just pissing on them coz they're Mexicans? Fark Trev, you can delete your own stu...

Are we talking about something like they featured on the news last night?
At Manly yesterday, the latest (?) revolutionary (?) design from GSI.

What about no "good" wave surfs"? Unfortunately I have them more than I would like as I'm restricted to surfing a fickle, flukey beachie during weekdays that can be fun at times (yesterday) & on other days serves up lumpy closeout lurchburgers (today). I reckon these can be just as frustrating as n...

Coupla things. 1/ I know the Bells shots are from a cliff but you can see clearly where the lip lands and it's not far down the working face of the wave. Mind you that's my favourite type of wave. 8) 2/ A barrell to me is a top to bottom breaking wave - Chopes - Pipe etc. You can still get covered u...

But still love my surfing, out a 5 in the morning at least 3 to 4 times a week and to the guy that is 61 and still surfing, what a inspiration. Digger, I'm out at first light, too. A little south of you if your favourite spot is where you're surfing. I'm at that big headland just north of Caloundra...

These 2 Bells clips are interesting to me, apart from the surfing styles. They demonstrate what is meant by "vicco doesn't barrell". The 2006 clip has great wave faces and some hollow sections at the top of the wave but no top to bottom stuff. Is that really what Vic surf is like, or are we just pis...

I decided to give myself a 1mm haircut with patches shaved intermittently around my skull area. Adding to that I also wore sunnies with red lenses and painted concentric black circles around my eye area. now I look like a freak!!!!! :twisted: pics?? >> good surfing?? depends on what you appreciate ...

what good is it?

It's healthy
It's exciting
It's exhilarating.

Jeez no disrespect to Ma and pa Bendall but hasn't Hedgey slipped down the totem pole quickly. What the fark happened there? Guy looked like he could be top ten in his sleep. OK. Here's the story. He's the guy who suffered those two ugly shoulder dislocations in Tahiti and at Pipeline (I remember t...

Maybe you should check what Damage's "Little business" is before you go work for him.

Really nice Trev! Mid tide going out, liney E swell. Good ingredients for your spot. If that's Fong's reef, can we name the next part of it about 100m further N Tiges Reef? I'll take 2nds over 1sts any day. OK. Tiger's Reef it is. 8) Some good rights there but their a bit hard to see from the hillt...
