Pinhead's weird trick that wig makers don't want you to know about

Hi all, If you've got a bit on top but need to wear a hat in the surf to prevent scorching, you may be interested in this story. I've been taking Magnesium L-threonate for a couple of years now to improve mental acuity. I came across a study that found that the L-threonate component reduced hair los...

This guy is the best keel surfer on the planet

Forget those ex-pro sponsored motherfuckers like Asher Pacey. This guy works and has a family and surfs a keel better than anyone.

mornings are better for crowds.
it's a euro type vibe for that.

less kooks early.

give me a Pm if you like and I'll give you a tailored forecast.
tailored to minimize crowds, maximise tidal phases.
Yes please. If I can get the trip approved by the committee, I would much appreciate that.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

anyhow, wow at the latest GFS run. glad I've put some miles in on the Ghost and Desert Storm. I'm thinking about going up to Bangalow to visit my dear old Mum in the week of the 1st. If I was to nip down to the Pass once or twice, what sort of crowds might I expect? expect it too be wild, but easy ...

Re: Twin keel adventures - canards!

I'm 175 cm. Most people will tell you canards direct water flow around the big fins. I think on a surfboard they do that but also move the fin engagement forward slightly and tame a twitchy twin by extending the turn side base.

This board feels nothing like a quad BTW

Re: Twin keel adventures - canards!

I like the last shot. but the hull still looks under-powered - ie not attaining the speed necessary to fully engage the canards. Yes I'm thinking the vee is exaggerating the problem with the rocker curve in front of the fins. I think flattening the rocker curve slightly will fix that so I'll probab...

Re: Cluster Fun

Dan saved your mo'fo arse Pinny. show some respect ;-) I'd mask that rear in to say, 4 3/4 and tweak them fronts with a shaved fade on the sides and a post punk versimilitude mowhawk to within an inch or so of its ... on their fronts. Leave a trail. Make a statement. I let my surfing do the talking.

Cluster Fun

Hi all, Now that Chairman Daniels has taken the jackboot off our necks here in Victoria I can finally go surfing. During my confinement, anticipating a loss of fitness I ordered a mid length from a file I made. A key design requirement was it should have a huge turning sweet spot. I've found this fi...
