Re: Injuries Blog
Yeah, no need to stay out of the water once it's stitched. I had a stitched wound get infected when I surfed on it. It wasn’t a massive issue - just had to squeeze the pus out - but yeah, infected Yeah fuck that. I’m not surfing with it like this. I’ll wait it out until next weekend . Hospital said...

Re: Injuries Blog
I've had the nurse disinfect and bandage the wound. She says it's superficial, unlikely needs stitches, likely glue it. Though doctor will decide. I'm back in waiting lounge.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Classic 4-6 foot beach break conditions. Surfed the entire Maroubra stretch. Started north end and surfed left after left until I reached the south end then finished with a right. Surfed the 6’2 twin , it performed and handled perfectly.

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards
For reference this is a Nigel Beckham twin. A 6’9 I owned. Fast as fuck and super wild top to bottom. Liked hollow waves, burgers not so much. https://i.postimg.cc/VvrkzbV7/IMG-1719.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/L8dn6NRj/IMG-1720.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/MG5T5wBY/IMG-1721.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/k5qGWG2...

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Today was fun and cruisey. But even at 3 foot it can pack a punch with a long period south swell and low tide.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
Voodoo 2-3 foot dawn session. Surfed the 6’2 twin. Goes great backhand. Got a few that went right the way thru inside the point. Cutting back it felt I could take a higher line and drive deeper back into the pocket, unrestricted without the centre fin.

Re: Where did you surf today ?
2-3ft righthand reef break top end of east corrimal. similar size to yesterday, but better quality and just a little less energy. Clean conditions, fast walls and a nice lip to rip into. Surfed the 6'2 twin. That thing's becoming super comfortable and very easy to surf. Loose but good control and qu...
