The Magic Carpet is the board Roger Hall is presenting at 2:26 into the video above.

Duck's got it sussed.

Sounds like a Joel Fitz sea gypsy would suit you well. Wasn't it Tootr who bought one from my local shop? If so how are you liking it? The Sea Gypsy and the Magic Carpet seem quite different. The Magic Carpet has a narrower nose and tail and more nose lift. I think it would handle the waves I surf ...

... if soft and flouncy.

I bet Nick and Steve pick up on that one and put it to good use... "Pipe/Lennox was soft and flouncy today, just ideal for adult learners"

Great footage, nothing wrong with doing that all day!

My favourite beach when I lived in Cronulla was Garie in the Royal National Park - just a 35 minute drive away. Stopping at the top car park to check it out was a pleasure. Sometimes the rain would flood the causeways, but you could still get in (just) using the Waterfall Road. Just before I moved t...

Fcuk surfing, it's really just an excuse to find a good park. Just admit it to yourself, leave the board on the racks, lean back and enjoy a good park!

I've got a 6'6" and a 7'er in those Tajen's. Run them with Webber flex twins and a nubster in the 6'6" and with twins and fcs bonzer sidebites (the smaller of the set) in the rear quad plugs or a straight quad fin set in the 7'er. They can handle size no problem. Can't post photos here. Pics here: ...

I've now got an alternate (ie. not McCoy) quiver of boards for the bukit: a 6'4 Bonzer Biscuit, plus 7' and 7'6 Hypto Krypto inspired boards from Surf Warehouse. The 7' and 7'6 Hypto Krypto inspired boards have skinnier rails, pointier noses and tails, and more tail and nose rocker than the bigger H...

As I've probably bored you with before, my first board was a 5'8" squash tail single fin. I didn't know it at the time but it was originally shaped for Nat Young who rode it in the 1970 world contest at Johanna. My lil bro's first board was a Ron Wade 5'6" pop-out double ender singly. We got beyond...

Pinny, it sounds like you're adapting to its quirks and starting to enjoy it, or at least see some potential?

The return of Beerfan, this is a cause for celebration!

Welcome back to the new order remnants Beery.

You’re still a legend giving it a belt like that, Cranky old son.

Thanks Beany, septuagenarians are an overlooked and under-appreciated segment of society.

I haven't had the 6"4 out in anything bigger than head and a half and it was OK.
