RealSurf Surfers' Forum

I had one of the first tri zaps (a 5'11) around 1983. I loved it and had no problems riding it at all, but riding a 6' single wide tail McCoy for a year in Bali before that probably helped.

I've just got rid of those annoying astron zots. Basically I spent about one third of my surf time over the last 2 years fcuking around with them when I could have been on my nuggets or a lot of other boards that click within a few sessions.

Stu Nettle: I had ten surfs on a Lazor Zap. The dimensions were 6'0" x 20'3/4" x 3'. It had a touch too much foam for my 75kg frame and a 5'10" would've been better suited. The waves I rode it in were between two and four feet. In surf this size the first turn on a regular shortboard is nearly alway...

Just for the record. Found this on some obscure forum: Displacement Hulls They're one of a variety of convex bottom designs, effective when used in combination with other elements of design. Here's a portion of something I wrote a few years ago that talks about the rounded convex bottoms you find on...

It was Made Kasim's, I swapped a 7' Banksy gun for it.

I had a 6'8 Al Byrne/Hot Stuff 6 chanel in about 1984. Great board that went really well in Indo.

But you see Beans, Minister for the bleeding obvious. I’m aware of that and it’s one of the reasons that I want go. I can see why it wouldn’t appeal to you though,my learned pickled friend because you can’t get shitfaced every night. Mrs Cranked and I went to Yogyakarta, the fundamentalist heartlan...

You can go to Sumba with Salty and the other realsurf reprobates

I think everywhere in Indo is a bit hit and miss at that time Jimmy.

Nice looking board jet, I'd love to put it through its paces. A new season on the bukit starts for me soon, its gonna be a long one as usual and the best year ever I reckon. First up it will be the last try for the zots. This time with Winged keels or 6.5" centres and medium fronts. I think the keel...

I'll even lend you my new board



hang on no I won't.

That looks serious Nick. Where's it for? Dimensions?

Same as GSTQ, pretty sure it isn't a Tuflite. They always have the logo and that's a wood stringer, the pretend stringers are just paint lines

I've ridden them a lot, Carvers are great boards IMHO, a 7'7 or 7'11 would suit you well MM

I've always assumed everyone on realsurf was gay.

I think foamy nailed the context and meaning though drailed

Yeah I was assuming that would be the case

I think the limited supply of waves may be the root cause of a lot of the animosity/localism in surfing.

Localism doesn't really occur in all the bike based sports I've done, front up to somewhere new and you'll usually be welcomed.

Or join a band.
