Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

For reference this is a Nigel Beckham twin. A 6’9 I owned. Fast as fuck and super wild top to bottom. Liked hollow waves, burgers not so much. https://i.postimg.cc/VvrkzbV7/IMG-1719.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/L8dn6NRj/IMG-1720.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/MG5T5wBY/IMG-1721.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/k5qGWG2...

What’s Voodoo like at 2-3 ft?
Today was fun and cruisey. But even at 3 foot it can pack a punch with a long period south swell and low tide.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Voodoo 2-3 foot dawn session. Surfed the 6’2 twin. Goes great backhand. Got a few that went right the way thru inside the point. Cutting back it felt I could take a higher line and drive deeper back into the pocket, unrestricted without the centre fin.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

2-3ft righthand reef break top end of east corrimal. similar size to yesterday, but better quality and just a little less energy. Clean conditions, fast walls and a nice lip to rip into. Surfed the 6'2 twin. That thing's becoming super comfortable and very easy to surf. Loose but good control and qu...

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

yeah, pretty much. I've had the board out a few times now and it looks and feels identical to an MR twin I've ridden before.

fucking great boards! so much fun.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

surprised you managed to get any turns in south swell maroubra Sure, plenty of shut downs, but also peelers in the mix forming angular walls off the dunnybowl with a hell current running opposite direction. If you timed it right against the current you could chip-in an early-take off behind the bow...

The happy twin looks more small-wave focused. Am preferring the look of the WC ...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Took the afternoon off and hit up north Maroubra. Not ideal conditions, long period south swell etc. but still some inconsistent and reasonably punchy overhead sets coming through. Surfed the 6’2 twin fin. Put in a four hour session to give myself a solid chance to figure the board out. So far, it f...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Is Kirra capable of breaking anymore as it used to before the early 2000s sand dredging that helped shape superbank but compromised Kirra in the process? Ive only surfed kirra a handful of times since then. But never seen it break anywhere near as good as it used to late 1980s onwards. It never used...

Re: Ebay Bargains thread

easy search for bargain surfboards on sale from clueless people is "surboard cm". it'll work on facebook, gumtree, probably any site's search function. you'll encounter people with adverts whereby they've taken out the measuring tape and given you the drill on sizings because they're baffled or igno...
