whats 1/2 foot trevG measurements in hawaiian?

yeah now that you mention it that does make sense for the east coast. we get alot of windswell in between the better sets of groundswell. to be honest, sometimes surfing 6 second period swells can be great, everyone gets a buttload of waves. actually, surfed Iluka few weeks ago and period was about ...

and we get excited over 12 second periods, yet in california 14-17 second periods are commonplace.

what a week to pick to head down the NSW coast for waves! scored Iluka early friday the 6th, but as soon as we hit the road it started pissing down. drove through some flooded towns, saw a couple of massive truck accidents, 2 blokes tried to shake hands through the front windshields it seems, one ca...

if the guy is really from Ireland i dont think there'll be too much of a problem with water temps right?

a steamer will probably boil him to death in March

this conversation is a good one, and important. however I feel we're comparing apples and oranges a little. there is a very wide range of surfers, all with invidual outcomes and expectations in mind. for example, for years I simply surfed, without really consciously working on anything specific. obv...

my best dolphin surf ever was at dreamtime smallish pod catchin some early morning clean ones, just my mate and me out. i'm glad i knew they were there, as I was bobbing in about 8ft of water when a stray one was heading straight for me, caught sight before it kinda freaked out and dove straight und...

Ian Byrne is still knocking out 6 channels at Mt. Woodgee

think wayne mckewan who is shaping for bede is doin em too.

find the video from 21 october in portugal.
not the most radical example, but still, he makes it all look very easy.

couple of paddles and down he drops, seems positioning is more the key here.

pics man!

so Nick, do you have a hunch for who will take out Pipeline Masters?

obviously Parko, Fanning and Bede will be up there.

or is it waaay too early to call?

who knows what woulda happened with Owen, he was surfing pretty well, i wouldnt say the best, but def in with a shot against fanning.

hard luck, but good on him.

yeh ok, but it kinda looks like Pipeline haha

whaaddyas reckon about this last 2 rounds being a pretty good warmup for Pipeline?

was showing similarities, especially seeing who could handle the steep backhand drops going left

try and tell me she isnt the hottest actress of all time.

dysentry is a personal favourite
