Re: Just general surfing stuff
Nah, we had booked a place at Rainbow Bay. I was trying to work out if it was going to overlap with the comp. Anyway we got our money back. Might have been overlooking Jimbos pad.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Much higher risk of not making a set wave. As opposed to a guaranteed high point wave.
Fcuk I’m glad we canned going up there. We would have been staying in the middle of the comp zone.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
There was a commemorative thing happening down at Bronte. Local Pollies, Life Savers and old Diggers. Some Clubbies were handing out rosemary. We commemorated with some home made ANZAC Biscuits.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Went for a swim at Bronte. Surf was pretty crap and the SE Wind was starting to get into it. Guy walked down with a square nosed twin fin that looked about 5’ nothing. Watched him stretch and paddle out. Went in for a dip and by the time I was grabbing my gear to go for a shower he was walking back....

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Makes sense to me. Everyone rabbits on about hand shaped boards but properly foiled fins have always been a better bet than moulds.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I had some Shapers fins in my Quad. Snapped one jumping off at McKenzies. Found a AM that was about the same but it never felt as good. They don’t make those Shapers fins in original FCS System anymore.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
The confirmation bias could be you two thinking we can’t tell the difference. (I don’t know, as I said, I haven’t swapped out same template with different constructions) I think it’s more about the difference. I’m sure it can happen but the degree of focus and the access to high quality boards and ...

Re: Just general surfing stuff
There’s a dude I talk to occasionally down the beach who is constantly buying new boards, fins, etc. Given his ability he would have a much better time and catch a lot more waves if he had a midlength.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Buddy is a competent surfer though. Half the suckers wouldn’t have a clue. Also I guess if you are prepared to put the time, effort and cash into comparing fins you could fine tune your craft. I've just got a big bag of old fins and finding a set that match is the biggest challenge.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Exactly. Unless you put a set of keels in or tiny fins they wouldn’t have a clue.♀️

Re: Where did you surf today ?
I’ve had a couple of surfs now nursing this hernia. Seems okay with a Springy on as long as I take it easy.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Had a surf at one of my favorite novelty waves this morning. When I was paddling out I noticed a slab of the rock shelf was getting exposed before the end of the wave broke on the inside. Made a mental note to be careful if I caught a long one. Got a few. Then got the longest wave and thought I bett...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
First time I went to Noosa was in 1973. Two mates had bought a VW Beatle for $100. The heater was stuck on so it was a hot trip. Usually had to push it to start. Stayed in a caravan park back towards Noosaville. When we got back it broke down in front of the High School where the buses stopped. Stay...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Rainbow Bay next to Snapper used to be called Shark Bay because of the large number of sharks. Bit of a marketing name change.
