RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Interested in getting peoples thoughts on these . Are they / were they better than what you were using ? I`ve read Nicks take on them but also curious to see what other folks think about them . I have quite a few sets ( as we all do ) of fins and keep coming back to the Julian air cores . Boards I`d...

My turn to work from home for a while . Got out at 6 to a nice 3-4 foot surf albeit a little on the full side with a few guys out . Also means lunchtime surf time too . Was better than this morning with size still holding . Empty lineup too ! Hope the wind backs off and tomorrows on again .

Frustrating here today . Wind was all over the shop and nowhere had anything clean . Thought I`d wait and see if the island cleaned up when the wind died but it just did not clean up so opted for beers instead . Tomorrow hopefully will be clean somewhere .

Yes that growth sees an increase in wait time for customs also . Ordered a Chilli Faded 2 and the wait is 10 weeks .

Sean Doherty writes on the DPI trials. Some big numbers on the receiver pings.

My god , that guy is so lucky to be alive ! Holy shit the board ! I tip my hat to the guys out there that helped him , any one of them could have been taken but their bravery held .

Home was solid today . Green water cold as but what a day . Missed the morning session as had jobs to do but paddled out at 12 with 3 people in the water and solid waves coming through with clean ups galore . A certain Island was breaking but the beach was firing - well worth some thumpings .Then th...

Nice one mario. Bold colours! 😀 I just bought the twin to my Outer Island 6'1". A 6'5" step up, which I'm hoping to get out in this swell a'coming. Needs FCS 2 find though, which I don't have. Any suggestions? Large, I reckon.. Cheers Wyre , I`ve always had colour / designs on all my boards . Perso...

let me guess. More foam up front than normal HPSB? That for me? Just well balanced, it’s pretty low volume still. I think JJF boards have foam forward. That’s all. I’ve a Conner coffin board he and Kelly rode in comps with foam forward. And they are easy to ride for an average punter. Nah, just cen...

You're rushing things a bit, Mario.

Hmmm , you may be right . Any suggestions on how to slow down ? I`m never the greatest forum poster , even on the mountain bike forums , preferring to read and absorb instead . Plus work is slow today .

This ones just under a year old and still looks new apart from the usual compressions . I was with the same shaper ( Warren Carey ) for a very long time and just felt the need to ride something different . After buying a few different brands I came accross a beat up chilli peri peri and instantly ge...

Well back from the trip with mixed success . Got to Bendalong late Thursday arvo . Was just a churning mess . Friday was just so out of control so into the car and found this a long way away , such was the swell size everywhere was maxed out . Some may recognize but I won`t name it . Got some gems a...

heyyyy mario! itsa me, Luigi!!

Ha ! Not heard that one before ! How ya doing Crabmeat ?

Well I`d actually forgotten I was on here . Checking the forecasts led me back here . I`m heading down to Bendalong Thursday night and if it gets as big as they say I`ll be watching as my biggest board is 6'0 . Hopefully can find somewhere a little sheltered from the swell so I can at least get wet...

Suggestion would be to hit up gumtree and ASAP sort yourself a cheap step or gun and get amongst it. Yep , thought about that and still thinking about it . I`ve just bought a bunch of fins to try out too , so not sure if the the minister will approve . She`s actually at me to reduce the amount of b...
