My favourite site predicts swell well under 500kJ until the morning of Wed 18th and then its only 550. Somewhere between 1000 and 4000kJ is what is needed. Boring times ahead

Judges aren't leaving much room to move for the girls if they actually throw down something amazing. Carissa's 9.8 for two great turns? That should be about an 8 and scaled from there imo.

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.

That FreeFlight job looks like it would be very handy for grating cheese on tacos. Or your foot if your Sally Fitz.

Yeah it's a version of a thing Maurice calls a Shiva, sort of a combo board designed to be ridden as anything from single to quad. Feels best with a 6" centre single fin and a couple of lil tow fins in the side

It's not really right, like it's fun and all but the front end rocker is a bit odd so we are re doing, I'll get a freshie at Bells.

I'm not really into the 2-1 feel but it's a bit more exciting in a super stumpy concaved out thing like this

I'll have the freeflight 10-channel single in a 6'6x19.75x2.75 please nurse. It'd go insane in double overhead plus reefs

How'd you make the pooch smile on cue?

The moon tail looks interesting.
