Re: SOLD!!! Simon Anderson thruster 7'6 x 20 x 2.75

I got a nice board to get rid of and would like to avoid grovelling over the realsurf forums and putting it on ebay and seeing if there are any takers. Salty, I may enlist your negotiation services, especially as you are looking to fill in your time at the moment. BTW, it's a 6'6'' afterburner by a...

Re: tell me what good surfing is

Coupla offcuts from Snapper. Should be slightly better than compressed smeg from youtoob. http://www.vimeo.com/3316589 nice work Steve. It’s hard to argue against the elegance and grace of Curren and Parko, and as avid armchair critic I’d thought Parko would’ve carved up a world title or two by now...

Re: tell me what good surfing is

nack for being right in the right spot most of the time especially on less predictable pointbreaks etc
That’s the reason why I prefer to watch Slater over all.

Stevenson Screen

Fellow weatherheads, I’m after a bit of formal info (preferably from the BOM archive) in regards to the correct placement of a weather station-Stevenson screen. I googled around a little and found nothing of real substance.



Any info will be appreciated,

Re: concave?

Double can slow the board a bit, however a well shaped double should not make too much difference. That’s the problem ive got with my latest experiment. I harassed for a deeper double through the fin entry in the hope it would generate a little more pivotal zap, but I think it has probably created ...

Re: Swellnet

Swellnet and Coastalwatch are great sites. There does seem to be a difference with the daily reports of Wollongong between the two sites though. Phil Byrne’s ( Coastalwatch )summations on wave height and conditions seem to be more realistic, and Coastalwatch's reports come through earlier a majority...
