RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Cranked, I switched from a surftech lazor zap to the lost weekend warrior, which has a deep single concave and a wide tail. I'm not sure how much of a 'dome' is on the zap - I never measured it - but it seems like the bottom contours of the surftechs were less extreme than McCoy shaped boards. It wo...

Sometime? SOMETIME? Cheeky cunt. I'll have you know I surfed three days in a row last week (with a bit of help from ibuprofen)

Nick, Please, in your capacity as forum elder and Protector of Australian Surfing , will you deliver a definitive statement against the shaka. That Beavis and Butthead do it is regrettable, although unsurprising, but let's nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. Anyway, a question: Do you thin...

No that's wrong foamy. Our waves are miles better than the wavegarden. But I strongly believe that they aren't looking to attract people away from coasts in any significant volumes or with any great frequency and instead are going after the inland surfer who is happy to drive for a few hours to spen...

Nick, I've had another brainwave. With Jarrad Howse having described Surf Snowdonia as "awesome for board testing" and an increasingly cynical readership growing ever wearier of Surfing Life's advertiser-fuelled jollies to the Telos, what better way to rediscover some authenticity and to reconnect ...

no, 'fraid not

If and when evidence of the two metre wave is forthcoming I might be tempted to go and have a look if I find myself in the area (in itself pretty unlikely but not impossible). A wifebeater in M sound OK steve? Assuming I can succesfully battle my way through the throngs of surf heroes stocking up on...

How much of you, by the end, wanted to kill your brother for paddling so fucken slowly? Did you find yourself at any point clenching and unclenching your fists and saying in a squeaky voice "Well maybe this time we could try to go a little bit faster and a tiny bit longer"?

look they're not aimed at people who surf. that's the beginning and the end of the argument

I'll look into flights and let you know. Just to give you a heads up though, I couldn't decide between the pancho thruster set that I already owned and the plastic biolos set that came with the board so I've got a mix of both sets filling all five boxes. I call it a quster and I'll expect you to do ...

Yeah I know, and it wouldn't be the worst option in the world. But we are NOT going to be the weekend warrior twins and that's the end of it

Ka-pow! Lesson one: insult a man's fishing outfit at your peril

Nick, Can I ask you a board question? It's for a friend (no really, it is). Anyway, said friend has been surfing for a while, probably 20 years plus, but still doesn't really have much of a grasp of anything beyond the basics. When things go absolutely perfectly I suppose he can go along a wave and ...

Cranked wrote:How many boards do you have again Nick?

and on what percentage of them did you pay something approaching the full retail price?

Nick, who's paying for Kelly Slater to do the tour now that he doesn't have a headline sponsor? Is he self-funding or is the WSL picking up the tab?

Me too

This is the look. Manbag non-negotiable, I'm afraid
