Isn't the middle fin on our boards for drive, so does this go well?

Surfing is a totally different feeling to just sliding on your gut going nowhere and not being able to drive yourself out on the wave face to turn or manuevere.

If every booger got reasonably good at surfing they would never turn back!

Had a calm run in with a bronzie at parsons yesterday, I spotted the distinct browning of the surface water in crystal clear water about 5m from me and just watched it for a bit, It didn't surface or move much so I just continued catching my waves, and then a few minutes later some other crew saw it...

So true, not like the *** they try and get to copy surfers who are completely brown from too long in the solarium!

Here's a few I've taken over the years: Middleton point: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/968376/2006_0302Surfb4uni0018.JPG Sucky Right: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/968376/2005_0206Image0021.JPG Goolwa Sunrise: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/968376/2005_11302-3ft4amCharlieChris...

Yeah I did that and let it sit for a few minutes and watched it and nothing showed up so im pretty safe I think, ah well you can't protect your board forever

23-24deg, are you guys joking! Thats so warm, i would be in boardies for sure, the max it gets down here is around 21!

So get out of your rubber and into boardies, make the most of what you,ve got

Hey guys I was in the water yesterday and noticed a pressure ding near my nose on the deck, not the bottom, but it hasn't cracked the glass I think cause I put water on it and there's no bubbles but you can see tiny cracks under the glass, is this alright to leave or should I get it filled in. Im de...

Here's my new stick, its a 6'2, looks better in real life and my other board is a 6'3:

I agree with NCP, buy a second hand shortboard, my first board was a 6'3 and was pretty thin but if you get down to the waves alot as it sounds you should pick it up easy and then I would give it a year or so to get your turns and cutbacks/floaters downpacked and then buy a brand newie off the rack ...

Its a crap quiz and some of those questions don't even have the right answers

Your cazy!
I don't care how long I have to chase or paddle for a wave cause I know that when I do get it I experience one of the most unique feelings this earth can give us and its that stoke which keeps us coming back for more and the unpredictability of each wave ridden!

Well I will have to continue this sometime later because im off to work soon but I would have to go into talk about Western Boundary Currents(WBC's) and details about why the current heads over to new zealand but if anyone would like to contribute for me in the mean time then go ahead

We havent got enough syllables in the explanations for the big picture yet. Ekman Spirals and Coriolis Effect are fun but what we are really looking for is 'thermohaline circulation' Use it in a sentence today kiddies!! High specific heat is a general feature of water and the lag effect however it ...
