yeah, just standing them on a rail of any type.
pressure thing.
Solved by foam/rubber

fixed to the wall, or free standing? I'm in the planning process of renovating a carport/storage area. Think my boards will go horizontally either in the rafters or under the raised floor (about 1m off the ground). Just simple horizontal wooden beams like those above, they're all in bags. Don't like...

depends if it's the same size board...could get tricky designing a 5'10" paddle-in board for Mavs.

how big? the waves...

Hardest thing for me is the patience and timing of delaying the bottom turn in bigger waves. Get that right and things normally go okay.

Lived over there for a while Offshore, it was great. Often offshore, too. Planning to go back at some stage. My wife learnt to surf at Scripps pier, was great before they pulled down Surfside and you could get a hot shower. Surfed a fair bit at Blacks and Cardiff Reef. (Blacks is a little south of t...

and easier to ride the barrel too.
Fcuks me how those guys make it through waves where you have to pump while doubled over.

and there aren't as many people.

I've found that in quads I seem to like relatively large front fins and smaller trailers, whereas in thrusters designed for the same size waves I prefer medium fronts and a large centre fin. Now, my theory is that in the quads I am actually using the front fin (and a more forward point of the rail l...

Don't drag me into your catfight. Braithy, I wasn't claiming local status, nor saying it was a secret spot. I wrote it in bold as a joke, yelling at someone who was liable to shit themselves if startled. Thought a wise owl like yourself might have got that one. If I was really trying to keep it a se...

Mate you might offend the pro quad crew on here calling a thruster 'the dogs bollocks' but yeh it's hard to beat the good ol thruster all round, ESP through turns. From my limited two-month foray into quads I'd say yeah thrusters do turn better, but they can't hold a candle to a quad for hold and d...

Braithy! STFU!

There was a grom contest on this morning. Invasion of the wave snatchers.
I was in the general area on a bank by myself. Very fun, looked shit from in front.

Bowlo carpark is just about the best protected part of that area, Braithy. More likely to form a headland. Could get attacked at the southern end though. Rest of it is just for show, 'cept for the piles in front of the surf club. Checked it out this morning, looks like they've upped the size of wha...

Rode a thruster for the first time in yonks today. Normally ride quads or 2+1s.
Forgot how easy they are to turn.
Now I need a new board...
There was more going on than just the difference in fins, but in some bowly beachbreaks it was the absolute dogs bollocks.

Cudgen one?
nah, wasn't designed to last.

you can see that? :?

think that was the first time I've watched a youtube vid twice.

would think Canberra would be a contender too. Might actually get some decent pollies to relocated.

would have picked you as a Rudy Project person, Reg.

they do hair tests these days.
