RealSurf Surfers' Forum

we can forgive Tyler's brother for refusing to face reality, as once he does the only pro representing the trad surfie hair look will be that Kiwi with the suspicious F1 driver sounding name. Crying shame IMHO, as i dont think the new crop of youngsters have much talent upstairs - we can only look t...

Tats let it all hang out, but apparently thats not what the judges are looking for. it seems you need a slick marketing plan to get your across the line in first place. IMHO - Owen's little sister is the stand out, more power in her turns, more commitment...she's the Jordy Smith of the womens tour, ...

overall pretty sik with a few sessions in the moderate to high sikness range

if you/your gf want to develop a complex about russian/scandanavian goddesses then sure, Bali Kuta beach is a closeout, water is brown, full of trash (human and otherwise) and nothing remotely like our pristine golden sanded beaches. its nice at dawn for a stroll/jog and on dusk for the internationa...

how many times have you done a no-hander aerial reverse and thought to yourself, well, hey that was a lot less technially demanding than a cutback

surfed a south coast beachie this morning, 3-4ft, a frames, barrels, glassy, 2 other lads out, peaks up and down the beach going unridden...so good it made me want to write a poem about it...


but i didnt.

base yourself in Cornwall, fine. But you'll find happier hunting grounds in north africa in winter...(much happier)

Surfed Rags last week...head and a half, mechanical, super fun...would be even better if a few locals would step up and enforce some etiquette in the line up

geez seals v indo - are we comparing apples with apples? if you get some nice accomodation, a trip to seals in autumn would be hard to beat...you get waves, you both have a good holiday...hard to beat an uncrowded 2-3ft offshore aussie beachie, no evils/distractions to imperil your life and/or relat...

the common theme between the European Invitational Soccer Cup Semi-final and drop-ins is lack of respect for your adversary...which is hard to reconcile with the notion of being 'passionate'

i dig your plan but your timing is ballsack. i'd be getting prepared to sleep in the boot, cause campsites are chokkas that time of year. maybe ditch the boards and just bodybash instead?

pretty much checking for a nice bit of bitou bush where i can have a sly billie

Hey Nick my rhetorical question is how good was it today at south facing reefs? To recap 17 second period glass

ctd - a good way to train your breathing is to to do some hypoxic swimming. try a lap breathing every 3 strokes, rest, 5 strokes, rest, 7, 9... you'll be amazed how much you need to exhale in order to empty your lungs fully for your next breath. but yeah, keeping your core strong while breathing, be...

Nick, did i correctly hear the rumour that the ASP is attempt to kill off pro surfing by showing us crap waves...this slop the are serving up in Brazil - might as well send em out on SUPs.

i only saw the last half but it seemed like Medina's positioning was way better - he was on the inside catching waves with clean faces while Parko was taking off on crumbly bombs.

i saw a (that?) ray jump at snapper the other day. couldnt say what type, but def a triangular shaped grey thing. got a fair bit of air jumping into a reasonable breeze.

saw a dark grey shape in a wave late one arvo a bit later in the week. lad who was closer swore it was a 5-6ft noah
