I had the 6'0" Bonzer, and it felt squirelly and lacking drive in the small lefts. No big fins to pump for speed like the twinzer. Then a bigger set came and another one. Longer period energy transformed the lineup. Sets drew hard off the bank. That transformed the board. No need to generate speed, just build speed on speed with climbing and dropping. Once the water flow reaches critical speed through the concaves and side runners the familiar bonzer feel kicks in. A feeling of both floating on air like a hydrofoil and being completely locked in like a luge. Got a really long deep tube that felt like falling into outer space.
interesting but without photos or especially video footage essentially meaningless
By all means if you want to come over and can pay the airfare I'll be happy to provide beer, vittles and lodging if you want to be my filmer.

If you promise never to use the outside shower, it's a deal!

(Btw, that was your line from 2014. Couldn't resist recycling it)

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

Only Southerners have taken horsewhips and pistols to editors about the treatment or maltreatment of their manuscript. This--the actual pistols--was in the old days, of course, we no longer succumb to the impulse. But it is still there, within us.”

Japs mostly only surf well in small waves.

Poms are typically poostancing kooks.

Brazzos need to think outside the JS/DHD/Al Merrick box a little more and perhaps tame their froth levels a little ( you don't need to paddle for every-single-wave-that-comes-thru dude)

“the industrial problem arises from the base forcing of all human energy into a competition of mere acquisition.” Human concerns, in other words, are narrowed to economics.

It is unsurprising to see people concerned solely with making a living if they face starvation. But, for Lawrence, what is queer about modern Europeans—including the working classes—is that actual starvation is seldom a danger for any man, yet they behave as if it is. Indeed, he begins his lengthy philosophical essay “The Education of the People” with exactly this issue: “Curious that when the toothless old sphinx croaks ‘How are you going to get your living?’ our knees give way beneath us. . . . The fear of penury is very curious, in our age. In really poor ages men did not fear penury. They didn’t care. But we are abjectly terrified of it. Why?” Whoever has wits (and guts), Lawrence points out, doesn’t starve, nor does he care about starving. But today the only thing that seems to really move people is a threat to their safety and security. We are all, it seems, Nietzsche’s Last Man.

In Sydney's eastern suburbs, selecting the wrong type of Italian marble benchtop is akin to cultural starvation.

Am sure plenty of New South Welshman say the same thing about feral Qlders trying to kill their sharks.

Around 1930, Keynes predicted that in 100 years we would all be working just 15 hours per week as we would earn enough due to economic growth and therefore would choose to have more leisure time. A bit of media lately about this and why it has not happened despite the economic growth. Some suggest it is because the more you earn, the greater the incentive to work. i.e. you forego more by not working if you can earn more. What daily rate would make realsurfers give up the best day of the year?
