RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Got my new 4/3 EBomb (back zip of course - chest zips can fcuk right off), about a month ago and damn is this thing keeping me nice and warm in the cold Victorian waters.

Right I need some advice. I'm not getting younger and this cholesterol diet I am on has seen me already waste away from a healthy 89kg's down to 84kgs. Basically I'm getting thinner and the Victorian winter surf is no place for a thin man in a 5 year old 3/2 which is showing all the strain of me str...

Another article about one being made in Melbourne. Again.

I just wish they fcuken get it over with and built, I'm sick of hearing about it

Melbourne. 40 degrees with high humidity one day, 19 degrees and rain the next!

Ah love it, can appreciate that my girth has never been forgotten around here

Backzip all day every day. Tried a chest zip once and hated it. Not you too, my brother. You aren't at the geriatric stage yet. Grooter struggles for other reasons. https://orig00.deviantart.net/d7a1/f/2016/335/5/3/violet_beauregarde_blowing_up_by_girard1020-daq9nlp.png :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's more a patience thing and I've had a backzip for nigh on 30 years. They work. In a world of constant change I like my wetties to be backzipped!

Yeah, the flashbombs are good. That's what I'll get if Torquay don't have oneill's. I believe they have reinstated the back zip as an option. Must have realised there's plenty of old farts like me and unco tards like shearer in the market Hope life is good, you bulked up eating machine Backzip all ...

Lost some weight, Grooter? I'm the opposite, tempted to try getting through with a 3/2. Shoulder struggles to move 3 mm. Gotta be a back zip too. Exceedingly difficult to get out of a chest zip without help Nah mate I've fcuken given up! 88kgs all day every day. Even done a bit of cycling the last ...

Need to upgrade to a 4.3 for winter, the 3.2 is now 4 years old and is not handling the icy Victorian winter waters like it used to. Goodbye tax return

My several 3 foot runners on the longboard this morning under a clear blue sky would suggest otherwise champ

This weekend for Victoria looks very, very, very good

flinders? Nah that time was Point Leo, been struggling with a bitchy AC joint of late so needed something tamer. Flinders last weekend was a lot better Cyril's and Meanos are both really good waves Still are mate. A good thing as the beachies are all over the place. I've spent the last 15 years wis...

Gloves and booties now.

Saw some mad bastard out the other day at Flinders in a spring suit. Then he opened his mouth to reveal a richly toned pommie accent and it all made sense, Victorian water temps now must be like summer for them.

Had a decent surf on Saturday but no big monster swells yet

Yeah fair point mate
