Only a kook would ask why crouching occurs in surfing, especially when strong offshores are happening.

Thus you are either a kook or are trying to appeal to kooks.

A stupid answer. if I wanted to avoid being shot i'd wear a wetsuit which blended with the sea for camouflage.

Don't worry the brain cells which you killed over the weekend won't regrow but the brain will make new ( and more circuitous ) pathways using the ones which remain.

Wow, sarcasm, I'm impressed.

The offshores were 20 to 28 mph during that session, but crouching is highly functional even in glassy conditions as anyone but a kook like yourself would know.

[offshore1]

I've never thought of myself as being particulary 'strong' per se, but i am rather wiry. love ya roy.. get a chuckle every time you post.

Ok. You're right. I must be a kook.
Just what "function" does it deliver in glassy conditions?
Hopefully I'll get an answer from someone who knows what they're talking about.
Don't bother applying, Roy.

[Roy_Stewart]

Ok. You're right. I must be a kook.

Now you are talking sense for a change.

Just what "function" does it deliver in glassy conditions?

At least three:

1) lower wind resistance

2) It allows unweighting for lower drag and weighting for propulsion to ocur.

3) Better visibility for down the line control.

4) A lower centre of gravity and a lower centre of mass and effort.

^^^
That was four (so, yes, I guess "at least three" fits.
However they only apply on a real wave.

What it really means is you crouch down so you don't fall off.

[Roy_Stewart]

What a lot of nonsense you spout Trev.

Your second and third statements are just completely wrong and the BS assumption that there are 'real' and 'not real' waves is laughable.

[kayu]

Lower wind resistence ?........maybe you should go back to your kneeboards Roy ....your halfway there anyway

......because he eats too much cheese

[Roy_Stewart]

Lower wind resistence ?

Yes that is correct, apart from the spelling of course.

Kayu's penchant for talking BS is alive and well.

[diggerdickson]

roy, this is your best post yet, you absolutely crack me up, at the time I read this I almost fell off my chair laughing, so funny Trev yourve been so set up

That board looks like a lot of fun roy, great clip, it flys down the line (even if you have to crouch down to surf it)
