Where did you surf today ?

[Beerfan]

Yep. I have no interest in nose riding ( nor the skill or waves ), just love the feeling of a big board gliding along.

They're fun in decent waves as well.

Those gatoes look like pigs though.

[Beerfan]

You being funny or clever? Pig outline longboards look much more usable than the standard paddle pop wide as fkukk nosed ones

Haven't seen the ones you're talking about though

[Drailed]

Perhaps I should have used better terminology considering pig is a style of longboard.

I meant they look like dogs...

Today and yesterday, a four foot plus reef bombie a few hours south of Sydney. Real swell magnet. First time I've surfed it. Steep take off with a fun inside bowl section you could carve up. Really shifty wave, and elusive at times. Kinda like a ripbowl. It looks like it'd be a great spot in a big swell.

Does he surf any of them in beachies or all on the points?

[el rancho]

mostly the coolangatta points. pretty knifed out hulls with big greenough flex fins. go unreal if you're into riding longboards in head high waves too

[Davros]

The mid length Kook Killer looks good. Spoken to a few blokes down here who have Gato boards and the like them a lot. Check out Wildthings Gallery for candy.

[Beerfan]

Found a link to the shop next door. Damn some nice boards in there too

[Davros]

Mate I built a wing on that place when I was right into my Neal Purchase Jrs. There are a bunch of seconds out the back Taylor doesn't advertise as well.

Sharks at Manly yesterday as in 2 sharks at the same time.

[Davros]

I cant remember who wrote about the guy riding a Black Beauty in small surf or where it was. Anyway a guy in 2 ft NE puffing DY crapolla was riding a Black Beauty today and managed to drop in on me, lying down over the falls on an obvious close out we went. Kind of funny, kind or close to dinging a new board.

Sharks at Manly yesterday as in 2 sharks at the same time.

According to today's Manly Daily, Layne B went out there anyway. She used the dubious reasoning that there were a lot dolphins around her to protect her from shark attack.

Quite surprising to hear such a comment from her, unless she was trying to be humorous.

[Davros]

Couple of years ago there was a Bullshark out at Manly. I stayed for a while but was too spooked to stay out, but Ol' Layney stayed out. I guess her skin would be quite tough, but I reckon she is a cutie in person.

[chrisb]

The 2 times I have met her out in the surf she was fine. Friendly and tolerated kooks.
