Amen to that Salty

Yeah-I think that's right. As were the Wallaces' and they were a whole lot cheaper than a custom.
Seems these mass produced boards that come in from Asia nowadays are merely a more refined pop out

Wallace....as in Bill Wallace, long time shaper from Brookie on the Nth Beaches had a "pop out" too. At Bennetts...the Bull, Greg Knoll had a pop out model also... think it was $70 that the younger bro bought. But it surfed ok...all one opaque colour as opposed to the Wallaces' that had the Shane vo...

Didn't surf - but I sat on the rock at Currumbin Alley and watched for a half hour some very nice looking (up to 6 foot) waves coming through.
Quite strong offshores.
I bet the Snapper Pro folk had wished this swell had come through last Thurs/Friday as opposed to Monday.

nice job Salty- what dims? That pic shows the single concave v nicely

Lake Ainsworth caravan park? Headlands Park at Skennars Head Rd adjacent to Boulders... though they may not be your cup of tea. Speaking of which, Shearer maybe better suited to match your compatabilities with share house options. Flat Rock minus sharks has been good short term in the past...but who...

Seems like too many Realsurfers know Josh' pain.
So on the brighter ish side....The Imperial, what are the dimensions...looks cool and I like a bit of extra point in a longboard nose like that

The guy that did it is known to those who surf the line up regularly (not me anymore) - and its not a random action this guy has taken. Whether he is part of an older crew and considers he has "dibs" and therefore rights to waves regardless, I dont know either, but he does have a rep according to th...

Its been on ABC radio morning programm this week- first few days. They did interview Mr Morelock and he did say he wasnt going to take it further. A lot of talk back chat about if it was good bad or indifferent - or just par for the course out there. I think they interviewed an ex Snapper Rocks Boar...

No thoughts of a late season jaunt to really test her out Ric. "Svelte" eh - and she looks just that!!!
And practical

Argh - Salty, lvl 6 you say. Well those lifts at JF are/have always been shite - so getting that high up was always gonna be a challenge. Good luck bud - dont know you from Adam as they say - but like your pics and posts and have occassion to be there on lvl 2 regular enough. If you up for a chat ma...

Hey Salty - are you on the side of J Flynn that looks out over the airport and down to Snapper. WIth binocs you can just about check out the surf - though that may be too much punishment Yes I've been spending too much time there over the last two years. Hope you're not up on the top level but. :sho...

Havent stayed at both - but Lohis last Sept - (read previous posts). Its certainly somewhere you could take your wife and there's enough to keep most reasonable folk well happy. Its not 5 star if thats what you're after - but its a very good 4 star resort. I went with World Safaris and got the Surf ...

Odda - yep I went to Huddanfushi (Lohis) with 5 mates last Sept. We booked through World Safaris and yes only guests staying on the island got to surf Lohis. Part of the deal through World Safaris was two boat trips a day (morning and arvo) either North or SOuth to Sultans, Chickens, Cokes etc. A ti...

Wingy - over the years many cock ups - gouges when planes flipped as it tripped on its cord. Or sanding blocks that caught and gouged, And too or like everybody, carrying blank (almost finished) from temp shaping area back into the house so dogs cats and bush turkeys dont take chunks out of it - onl...

Sure enjoyed reading the trials and tribulations of making that first, second or in my case 20th board. At 57 and surfing for all but ten of those years I always wanted to make boards. First one was a cut down, re shaped mal that had a half inch redwoord stringer that I had to chisel out with one of...

Dont ya just love that lunch session when between 12-2 you are sure to get a few by yourself or a few others!! Looks just fine eh there Spork and no booties too. Saw a few guys with sea urchin issues rather than coral. Actually the coral at the blue ramp was pretty worn and not too bad

Ah Spork - Richard sure knows how to find the pocket at Lohis- but I guess if its your backyard you'd be all over it. Amy and Katie surf pretty good too eh - your architypal (sp) SoCal girls. i got a heap of good shots - I should put a few up too - as I'm sure you have rolls and rolls too. Say gday ...
