Reckon it’s worth taking an inch off the fish.
I wouldn’t want mine any longer.

20% off emery customs for next two days Steve

Poo point at west end of 13th Beach

Looking at the superbank cams, not quite ‘every cnut’

Or are you saying the ones that staying behind aren’t cnuts? haha

Surfed it yesterday, holee fcuk the crowd got so frothy.

wasn't that good.

Surfed so many super fun b-grade days this summer with minimal crowding, was quite a shock to get the full frothing crowd back.

Shorter daylight hours, restrictive wind and swell angle.
Recipe for a crowd.

Point looked nice as I drove by

How does it compare to the MTB injury, Steve?

I reckon a peg leg would suit the cletus vortex image.

The emery was a good board. Preferred good waves but serviceable down to 2 foot if you only had one board in the car. Drew nice lines on the face with a bit of a longer arc than the JS, rode the barrel well. Was really nice to do a big carve on and put as much as you could into it and it would hold....

Funny those JS's, people seem to love them or hate them.

They all look pretty standard shortboard material to me.

That’s totally what it is. But executed perfectly.
Makes surfing easy.

Today 3-4 foot punchy in bal.
Yesterday solid 4-6ft. Big drops, mostly burgers but every now and then get a really good one that linked through the bank.

Big squeeze of lime and then record the sound you make for a sound sample for cletus.

Yeh the xero gravity model which I think is similar to what the monsta box was.

wind went offshore here around 10.30

Really fun 3-4ft wedges.
You get some Buddy?

Managed half an hour of smooth conditions before wind ruffle again.
So much fun. Water very brown.
Willing to call it my best short board since my bourton quad back in 2018. Might be fav ever.

Does the water get dirty around there after an event like that?

Maybe in a bit

I like the look of this.
The 6’1, 2 1/2 for pumping waves would be sweet.

Same fins made the emery I snapped way too stiff so I put an extra small rear in and it was great. Not quite as small as a 2+1 trailer
