Re: Where did you surf today ?

The Hook at Santa Cruz First time back since dislocating my finger trying to help save that bloke. Was around 6 foot and pretty steep. Couldn't catch a fcuken cold out there, never been good with the very steep stuff and the more shallow nature of that break was playing in the back of my mind a bit ...

Re: General snow stuff

Nice farming. Weather is turning warm here, it's a pretty shitty season thus far. Winter here is an El Nino event this season so it should be a shorter snow season. May have to consider a trip inland to higher altitudes if we want to get the most out of it. On the flipside there should be some dece...

Re: General snow stuff

Mate you are a legend! I honestly have no idea about this stuff and your post helps me a lot.

95 kg is about right, last time I jumped on the scales I was about 89 kg.

My foot size is a US 10 as well

Re: General snow stuff

Yeah only on groomed slopes doing S turns the whole way down, at least for the next couple of seasons. I'm having more than enough fun doing that. I'll probably stick to Dodge ridge as it is closer to home. Would an "All Mountain" board be the right one? Thanks for the advice on the boots, I was thi...

Re: General snow stuff

That would be awesome mate! I want a snowboard that is easy to ride down ski runs. I have no desire to try to take on double black diamond, or even black diamond runs. I know I am not that good, and I'm not getting any younger. I need the mini-mal of snowboards. I am 5 ft and 10 in tall; the boards ...

Re: General snow stuff

I went to Dodge Ridge on Monday with my son and a mate of mine. Snowboarded all day from 09:00 to 16:00 only stopping for 30 minutes. I'm still a rank amateur but by the end I could do entire runs without wiping out - I can heel stop easily now, toe-stopping on transition is still a bit of a challen...

Re: General snow stuff

Decent amount of snow falling at Dodge Ridge now Boo. Perfect day for it today in the sunshine

If my boy wasn't filling up weekends with basketball and baseball I'd be headed there this weekend.

Good one MM he really needed to head that. There you go Groots, next time save yourself the trauma and walk away and just callthe authorities as they will die anyway
Actually I appreciated MMs honesty and facts on the matter.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Thanks fellas ❤️

Been a weird day. I keep checking local Santa Cruz news feeds to see if there is any reports.

Not my first surf rescue, but the first one where it really seemed like the person had died. I hope not.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

This morning I helped try and resuscitate an older surfer who got knocked out either by his board or on the rocks at The Hook in Santa Cruz. Guy was in bad shape, lungs full of water, and we couldn't get him conscious despite draining about 4 litres of water by pumping his chest - paramedics arrived...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Santa Cruz, paddled out at Jacks as the tide was high and I'll be fcuked if I am going to try getting back in at 33rd avenue with the waves smashing into the stairs.

Surf was okay, day off for tomorrow and Friday 🦃🦃🦃

Re: General snow stuff

Current predictions are another winter of above average precipiatation for California.

I really enjoyed snowboarding even though I found it bloody hard. My boy is itching to go again so a trip is definitely on the cards
