post up some footy of yourself surfing Gumby and we'll be able to help.

it's more normal in July, I found three recent examples that I could remember off the top of my head in '09 and '10. The last Nino year and the transition winter out of it. it's late June, coming into an El Nino. Undesirable but not unexpected. It doesn't undermine Nicks or yours sensations though, ...

That piece deserves some clean air and not to rain on the parade but pre-frontal northerlies, sometimes vigorous ones that whip up useful windswell are certainly not unusual during winter.

this is a classic one.

As Carroll said:typical pre niño pattern. This week still looks good. Bathymetry is mitigating surf size up here.

angle of incidence/ angle of refraction.

head high for anywhere with S swell exposure, head and a half on the sets at the S swell magnets.

that was a gift from God this morning.....holy hell....

thanks gents.

get on the fish DonW.

protein and long chain fatty acids will heal the wound.

where from mate. in the market for a steamer.

I've ridden that board in the bottom shot a couple of times when I was helping Andrew shoot Lost in the Ether.

rode very fast and slippery feeling....but that was as a single fin. I think it would go better with the dual keels anchoring the tail.

They're not planing hulls in the sense that Tomo's are planing hulls derived from Simmons concepts...

Those Hayden Shapes Germs, Shred Sleds and Hyptos are derived from early/mid seventies wide point forwards single fins.

Different beast.

I'll probably jinx it but this next frontal progression looks pretty tasty.

I don't know CC, with due respect I observed the opposite watching Dan surf at the Point lately, and Stu Kennedy. the arcs look short and ineffectual to me, they don't carry out to the shoulder for a proper sweeping roundhouse..which has to be the foundation for all good pointbreak surfing. I think ...

still ,looks this El Nino is sputtering.

Panaitan.

feels way too much like spring today.

actually a local bloke here who rides one....asked him where it was the other day.....creased.

been interesting watching Dan T surfing Lennox Point the last couple of swells and comparing it both to normal boards and his surfing on previous boards.
