RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Yeah Spork - having returned two weeks ago I'm feeling ya froth. Its a damn fine place when its firing. How are the crowds? Tho the sweeps tend to even things out a bit

So how big Beery? I'm liking my 8 footer and I have a 7'9 - - so whats the dims on this one?

Spork/Ric - I'm hoping you didnt get the wrong impression - we surfed all through - just were blessed in the first few days and last three especially. All the other stuff was about the benefits of being landbased. There are pros and cons and both Ric and I have done the same boat trip with the same ...

Yep Ric - 60/40 indeed - but those days when it was on - it was real fiine. On the Southerly days we tried early in the morning and late in the evening - though perversely these seemed windier times than in the middle of the day?? :? So we played tennis badly for some fun and squash (hot hot hotly -...

Ok - so back last night! We too had a great trip. We did it a bit different as we stayed on Hudhuranfushi island the whole time - well that was our base if you like as there are boat trips every morning and arvo to south or north if you want to take advantage. We arrived on the Sat and had 3 days of...

Flying Bris to SIngapore tonight. Singapore to Male and then 12 days Maldives - woo hoo! Ric I'm hearing ya on all this stuff so commonsense will be my friend. I dont have any myself so its good to be worded up :?

Yeah i'm with Iggster - show us some more pics and the dimensions please. That said - looks real approachable as is and my pintail penchance has been picqued

No - no boat this this time. Did the Banyaks on a boat last time. Land based with access via boats so hopefully a good mix

Going Maldives 24th Aug thru to the 5th Sept - does that seem same time as you SWVIC. Though I'm flying out of Brisbane and you no doubt Melb???

Need to thank Trev for uploading these pics. Tint and cut laps and deck and tail patches give it a nice look with gloss finish coat too

Being close enough to Currumbin I've be lucky over the last few years and can vouch for this being a real pleasurable experience to go along and look at the fine craftsmenship. Oh secondary point - i was gonna post a pic or two in the Show us your Guns section my new board - but as I dont post pics ...

Just got - well last week a board that I shaped - but had glassed. Its 8 foot - and a pintail, so by length it may be considered a gun by some - but by an aging me - well its just a shortened mal. Will try and post a few pics - once i remeber how to do it - doh. Maybe it should go in New Board Porn ...

Mr Shearer - you were saying that after those big swells tearing the guts out of the banks your way that things might be grim. A mate said he's been surfing v close to your neck o the woods and its been pretty nice. But then here's my an old cnut like me and the cut and thrust of the point aint nece...

Yeah - had that look of the Bay - and wondered if it was the Outside left. Man - you are right on that late call up stuff. If you can do it - more power to you. And I guess having done the travel before a few times you know what you are getting yourself in for - and the boat of course and Mick and C...

Jeepers Ric - another trip to the Banyaks. Were you with Mick again - or another vessel. Where was this spot? if you can share a proximity at least

Spork - loving watching this all come together. Sure looks nice job too - though I'll be there have been moments of "jeezus, should I do it this way or that ? Will I take a little more or a little less off!!" The old adage of measure twice and cut once and dont rush seems to echo in my ears. On the ...

So whats the doms on the Swinger Mark - looks very clean but

So Nick - by your comment "But conditions were completely unlike those experienced in 2010 when Saxon died" - do you mean that they were benign/easier/less hostile (dangerous) by comparison - and "contestable" from a SLSA perspective for people with years of experience and months of training through...
