RealSurf Surfers' Forum

I think I may have told this story before. The day after Council overwhelmingly rejected the WSL proposal, Lennox Point gave us a perfect Bluewater, 6ft day. It was like the Point itself was grateful and in return was offering this incredible gift back to it's protectors and stewards. It was like a ...

We only have the results of that questionnaire mate- a pro contest rival questionnaire was barely answered.

Anyway mate, we won the argument in the public square and then won the political battle.

You tune in what you like and transfer across boards.

It's a wonderful independent variable for any surfer with more than half a brain cell and a functioning skill set.

True.

I have. Had a beautiful custom 6'9" Peter MCabe step-up. Came with cheap plastic FCS fins. I'll never forget the day I swapped those out for a stiff pair of fibreglass fins of the same template. It literally was like going from driving on bald tyres in the rain to feeling like I was in a Porsche wit...

You need to design the experiment with a little more rigour than that moite.

Be an interesting test- I'm not totally averse to the idea that preconceived biases (delusions) may be at play.

You live by the psychosomatic sword, you have to die by it.

yep.
Total fin area is easy to feel.

Different materials easier to feel.
