Good muck around surf at Bondi this morning.

Plenty of cops down at Bondi today.

Good choice Pet.
Very versatile design.

Bower. Too crowded but pleasant in the sun.

...but they had lightning bolts on them. It must be like pipe.

Yes, little I considered just that shape for my last trip over there. The thing I reckon with beachball characteristics of short, wide, fat boards is that it puts the emphasis back on how well tuned the rails and rocker are. Basically as a cliche the characteristics mean going up the wave backwards ...

Yeah, not an all rounder though. I had a fishcuit that was phenomenal sometimes but just too limited. I went through a brief time of thinking they could be good for me but I've got plenty of boards that surf little beachies well. Not what I'm Interested in. I reckon steering an average surfer onto s...

Yes Pet, I reckon they must try to move product in many surf shops. I had a young guy try yo push me towards a 6' biscuit one time. Now particularly since I have had a bit of a trip into fatter, wider and a bit shorter boards since then I can only scratch my head and wonder what he thought I was goi...

I've had a 7'11" epoxy carver for years and years so getting this carver fish felt just like stepping onto a hotted up version of that without the minimal bit. I had been riding a quad fish a bit too before that so I feel very comfortable with the general attitude required to enjoy it. It goes very ...

Great passage in Tom Wolfes novel A Man in Full about horse breeding. I guess it's one area that its easy to practise. Don't know if whacking off an elephant would be considered as a preliminary exercise. It would seem a major achievement in itself if you were working in that field. Bit like mountai...

At least a Cert IV.
I'm just wondering how you would do work ex perience
It would be quite a specialised field.

Bo bo, now I know your going all Greenough on this but surely a lid covers the same territory much more easily .e.g. You dont have to pump the fcuker up.

Marginal. Very reluctant to get dragged down after work. Plenty of learners and log riders. Managed to refrain from cursing too much. Didn't get clobbered. Probably could have had a trim on a mal. Nice little bank underneath it all.

At least Monday felt like surfing for a change.

Dragged down this arvo. At least the water was nice.

Geez fong, more people die on the golf course than on any beach. Heart attacks, stroke, lightning strikes, run over by golf carts, bashed with a five iron it's carnage out there.

I actually like Nicks definition of sport.

Had a fun surf yesterday arvo. The first good one in a while.

Speaking of regional styles, I've always thought the Thruster would never have been invented in Queensland. It really grows out of Simons surfing style which carries on a real Nth Beaches approach. Baddy Treloar used to have a somewhat similar approach.
