RealSurf Surfers' Forum

I've got a Scottish wife who has, naturally, extended Scottish family living throughout Scotland. I am certain that, in some small way, each and every one of them benefits from the income derived the business of Nessie. Therefore, it is in my interests to back Nessie.

Really good, helpful stuff. Thanks, Nick. I've done a few of these things, but not at a conscious level. For example, one night last year, I sat up watching vids of Mick Fanning. The next day, I surfed better than in quite a while. I didn't, however, have that in mind when I watched them. I think yo...

Nick, I've whinged about it enough that you probably know that I don't get into the water much these days due to a few factors. I'm aware of how much my skill level drops, but I also know that with a decent run I can get back pretty quickly. The thing that I struggle with, though, is my mind. The th...

Really, Boo? My mates also understand that a wave trumps life's issues no matter they be big or small.

Hi Nick, long time listener, first time caller. (Not really; I've always wanted to say that. Although that's not really true, either; I just wanted to say it right now.) In a typical one-hour session, what proportion of time do you estimate is spent on your feet as opposed to paddling or just sittin...

This might sound kinda weird...but stiff shit. When I ride the train, I like to watch how people adjust their bodies for the movement of the train. More often than not, when suddenly trying to keep their balance after a big jolt, they'll stiffen and straighten their legs which makes it more likely t...

I'm not playing into Charles Darwin's hands, thank you very much.

Just tried a set of C-Drives in my 5'8" Misfit. I usually run K2.1s but thought I'd give the C-Drives a go. Now, I can't really give a fair and balanced opinion based on one surf in 1-2ft waves on a rising, ravenous tide but I given my opinion on much weightier matters with much less direct experien...

Alright for some. We're all stuck in here with only 1s and 0s for company.

Thank you, sir.

How's it been out in the real world?

Look who's back!

I got my Bos steamer a couple of weeks ago. Obviously, longevity is untested. Obviously. It's a 3/2.5 and replaces my old Buell 3/2 that felt more like a 2/2. There is marginally less flex. Marginally. But, the way the panels are cut means that it feels great across the shoulders. With a titanium li...

The crowd and the circumstances of the spot also mean it's one of the few spots on earth that I've surfed yet sorta can't see ever surfing again, which makes it a bit weird in my own head perhaps.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like, I'm SO done with Collaroy Point.

Okay, I'll point out the elephant in the room...

How come you don't just post the name of shop?

Oh Saltyseadog, your first post and you're left dangling for the whole week. Don't worry, they're a bunch of cnuts on here.

So, to your question - no idea, but let me just say, I acknowledge you.

Count me in, Don. Further to 'boo's comment, it'd be handy if you could decline the enticement when donating. I've got enough of all that stuff and all it does is take away from the amount raised. Unless, the enticements were... Donate $25 You get: Tomtom banned for 1 month Donate $50: You get: Tomo...

Alright Nick, let's get this out of the way...

What do you think of Rogaine?

I thought maybe I should've been a little more considerate yesterday and kind of regret a situation.

C'mon mate, whaddya do? Not paddle far enough away from the line up to drop an aqua bog?
