Yeah. My mate has one which is a replica of Midget's 69 shape. Glassed in fin.
This Huie one is probably a later version as it has a fin box. (Which I guess could have been added later).

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Anything with an eggey shape with a soft rail and bit of V seems a handy craft. Kind of makes sense at the most basic level of design.

IGGY ALERT

Coastal Watch is calling it (Maroubra cam) 5'-7' today. I thought that 7' didn't exist? Is this some kind of Being John Malkovich thing?

Dr. Lester from Being John Malkovich

" I don't want to be your goddamn link, damn you.I want to feel Floris' naked thighs next to mine. I want my body to inspire lust in that beautiful complex women. I want her to shiver with a spasm of ecstasy, Schwartz, as I penetrate her..."

That's how tube riding should be described.

They should be dragged out to the International Wave Scale Tribunal at Lakemba and answer for their misdeeds.

so saying the forecast kJs are incorrect is the same as saying the swell height and/or period for the predominant swell are incorrect.
Yes, I'm saying the models get this wrong plenty of times and this is when you'll get a wrong forecast.

Tomorrow for example, we've got an existing SW swell across Bali, and then there is a large new long-period groundswell due to arrive through the morning, peaking into the afternoon.

Now the models incorrectly combine this new long-period energy with the existing swell and jump the forecast size by midday on our Swellnet models and by 8am on your forecasts.

This is wrong and we'll actually see the swell build strongly through the morning and peak later in the day/overnight...

1.7m @ 18.3s and 1.8m @14.6s combined incorrectly at midday and over-forecast.

Similar to Surf Forecast.com but at 8am with energy jumping to 3832Kj.. when peak will be later when the model has 2900..

Craig is there an available list of ocean and swell models that different forcasting sites use?

Wow watching the wavepool on tv is pretty boring. Lasted about 15 minutes. Too much waiting around, same wave, same manoeuvres, no atmosphere. The wave really needs to be bigger. Any better live Nick?
