Re: Just general surfing stuff
it was deceptively good here. I woke up thinking the swell had dropped but it hadn't at all. Beautiful long lines.

Surfed snapper through to greenmount early on ... wasn't all that crowded ... jagged a couple of nice little peelers. Was smallish.Braithy wrote:yeah i scored some ankle deep grinding lefts with two other guys.

I'm liking the look of the new Hypto Krypto model quad-or-thruster option.
when set up as a quad in the double over head and grinding range - I reckon it would add a significant advantage over the standard thruster model

Re: Just general surfing stuff
it's a good board. it's so easy to ride, it's like cheating.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
A 6'0 quad / thruster fin option would be a pretty ideal 'cover all bases' option for my tassie trip in October.
But at the moment I'm liking the look of this from psillakis . The eclipse . Fairly similar.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Every time I go to byron I'm seeing more and more brand new pop-outs being carried around by backpackers. I think there's at least one or two shops set-up in the main drag offering up these cheapies.
maybe the days of the recycled old brown dogs passing through many beginner hands are numbered.

shop right next to Deus , which sells $1500 boards selling brand new pop-outs for $300.
I laugh every time I go past.
tbh they look totally functional shapes.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
most of the time you get what you pay for. I wouldn't buy a deus though.

i guess it doesn't matter what you ride when all you do is nosedive take-offs at the pass.
