Where did you surf today ?

[steve shearer]

no need to name spots Iggs.

[Davros]

Board most surfed on your trip Hatchman?

[Hatchnam]

Ok Steve . Fixed.

Davros. So far the 6'3 thruster but now it's dropped below four foot I've been on the twinny.

Saltman. I will be kicking around Ballina til mid arvo at least tomorrow. Catching up with Steve in the morning 9 ish onwards so may see u then

Must've dropped heaps throughout the day. Was still 6 foot sets this am.

I think I paddled out as it dried up.

Suiting up, there were still overhead bombs dropping everywhere. I got rinsed on my paddle out, and it kinda pulsed for for the first half hour. Then in the last hour, i caught like 4 waves.

had to wait over 20 minutes for a wave in.

I've never seen a swell die so quick, i don't think.

[Davros]

Thruster? That's a bit disappointing

[steve shearer]

should be a nother little pulse tomoz Iggs.

Half of my quiver still has three fins. I just paddle out on whatever board will best suit the conditions. i tend to keep thrusters for beachies when it's four foot plus. Smaller conditions I prefer a twin. Points and quality (not lumpy) reefs I prefer a single fin.

[steve shearer]

I'm gunna bring a quad and a 5 fin bonzer to shit all over your quiver tomoz Iggs.

Let's see. That twinny of mine was like a rocket on those waves this arvo. The 12 mil deep single concave gets things cooking down the line.

[buddy]

Where ya gonna go, boys?

[steve shearer]

I reckon your way Buddy, maybe where iggs surfed.

Or might let the tide drop and surf here.

see what happens.

[steve shearer]

looks like fun in the sun small waves with a pulse in the arvo, maybe Wed is the pick.

[buddy]

Yeh, looking forward to seeing what that swell has done for the sand around here.

[batoes]

Looks like the wind caught a few just as they were close to taking off. And the one guy doing tow ins when everyone else was paddling (including a body boarder)!

I've been meaning to ask if the concave that deep makes it track?

Not at all. Being a twinny it's constantly driving and pumping off either side fin - and never feels like it wants to just stick in a straight line.

It just goes really fkn quick off the mark, and builds up a shit tonne of speed.

Initially I had the same question (doubt) also, and the reply I got was "it won't track as a twin with a deep single, it's just going to go really fast". And was has right. But he understood that i thought the deep single (without a vee exit to soften it) would've raised the question.

I asked for a board for tearing up beachbreaks up to 4 foot, and so far it's been great for that.
