RealSurf Surfers' Forum

all too true. i'll freely admit my small level of skill, but then i give away more waves then i take - i'm in it for the fun, not the hassle. go out to the cronulla/elouera/wanda stretch anytime and there are a few of these notorious wavehogs. truthfully, some of them seem skilled enough but they ha...

Natho, what's the make and dimensions of your single fin. sounds nice. cheers

Hi guys, i have had a surf lock for 6 months now and it is ideal - strong, safe, concealable. it wouuld take some major work to get into it and with the comination lock i don't need to take anything in the water with me. the hitchsafe looks great too if you have that sort of setup on your vehicle. c...

that looks bee-yoo ti- full!! real 'morning of the earth' stuff. hope you catch some waves like that!

I'm with Wanderer. and I'd throw in a bodyboard in that mix if the conditions are right.

Thanks Buzzy. thats great info

Hi Betty macca202 is onto it. the sun cure stuff from the surf shops does the jub for small cracks. as for the decision - not sure but have9'2" to sell first. might wait for your report on the 6'4" nugget's performance! give me your vrdict after you've given it a go; i think you are somewhere about ...

congrats!! beat me to it. enjoy!

don't know the answer betty, but did you by chance pick up that 6'4" nugget from dripping wet??

good points betterIwas. what dimensions did you go for (and what weight are you)? cheers

Hi again guys! still lookin' A few more questions for Buzzy and Matt in particular: I have had a chat with Grant Miller - sounds like a very nice chap, and very convincing for his waterskate. In the toss up between the McCoy Nugget and the Miller Waterskate, they both sound like they would do the jo...

Buzzy, funny you should say that about the Webber boards because the CD does seem quite light, and I did wonder about longevity. Fair call on the single fin, I have heard that said of Cheyne Horan before. Between you and 'loco4olas' it looks like the nugget is the go. cheers.

Thanks Matt. i appreciate your candor and advice. nugget is ahead by a nose at this point (altho I have ridden 6'2" webber CD with no problem and quite liked it). why is it you are not a nugget fan? not manouvreable enough for you? do you like the other high volume short boards like the waterskate o...

Thanks Buzzy Matt, thanks, see your point. just trying to get a broad sweep of opinion without tying anyone down. to answer your questions: plan to use as my main board, unfortunately only once per week (little more if i am lucky). beach breaks. I am 40, and only took up surfing at 38, so you can fi...

great info thanks Buzzy. you mentioned the miller waterskate; that is another option. how does it compare?? that is another of my options. love to buy you one too mate, but not really in the budget

fong, forgot to ask - nugget of fish? after having both that do similar things which is better. looking at the niche, I thought a fish might be an alternative. the webber "CD" is another similar board. Ta

Thanks Fong. appreciate the feedback.
hey Cambo, you mentioned to get FCS if i want to play around with fins - I am told that mccoy only does glass-ons. is this correct?
thanks again

thanks cambo. I appreciate the advice. looking for a bit of an all round board ie small to medium wave. i have a board with a thruster setup, thought a single might be a bit different. singles are reputed to work very will with the nuggets shape ie fast and smooth and still no slide slippage on stee...
