RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Captain you may be confusing me with the 'other Simon'. While I shape from time to time I am not that Simon. I bugger boards up rather than create them. I think the modern planing hulls have some merit, however it is easy to get carried away and read too much into board design and all the different ...

Natho, what board did you ride in your heat yesterday against Toby Martin? It didn't look all that short? Did he end up beating ya?

Just booked trip to Hawaii for late season early Feb in the hope that the waves are as good as last season later period.Any other real surfers heading over to Hawaii next season for the later season sessions other than probably Natho?

Possibly you have a chip on your shoulder mate coz you know people like natho frikken rip and you are a total kook .At least at 12 years old you still have some time ahead of you.

You sound about 12 years old with a reply like that. Give it and you have to be prepared to take it too.

Hmm methinks Bohdidontsurf is one of those who loves to put crap on others but can't take a bit of shite back in his own face. I think natho should challenge him to a poo throwing contest at Retravision.

Nice picks Natho.pretty sure I saw you rippin out at Honolua on the morning before you left Maui.I arrived the day before but could not surf due to injury

Yeh Nath Maui Jim's are the ants pants and you will see them everywhere if you are still in Hawaii.Costa del Mar are supposed to be up there as well.At around $200 Maui Jim's are in fact good value when you compare them to some of the surf brand plororized models and even Oakleys.The surf brand sunn...

Whatever happend to Newport Plus. Are they still around?

Frk Natho, looks like you have a cracking swell over there ya pr!ck. enjoy. That's if you are over there yet.

Nath, I will PM you. I may be heading back over around Feb also.

Morgan if you read nathos explanation on his comment further down then based on that I would say his comment was fairly valid. Not sure who he was talking about and I guess he has chosen not to name them. Your just assuming. All that said if you had to choose between an Asian import taking business ...

ah now everyone is going to go and order a door and start riding them 'coz Kelly rode one'.

Hmmm now Trev G is saying (as a bit of a generalisation) that quads are more suited to the average joe. Now obviously it all depends on the rest of the elements of the board, however in general terms i gotta disagree. I think a thruster is better suited than a quad for the average joe if turning the...

ah I think Little is onto something here. Yes the whole speed thing has much more to do with the flat rocker and wide tail than the actual fin set up iteslf. As someone else (i think NC in fact) commented once before on these forums, quads are not as fast as people think. It is the added hold and ad...

Bohdid, it doesn't look like you have much to offer this discussion other than a big nasty chip on your shoulder. People are always going to have different opinions to you. Thats what forums are about. It just so happens that some of those offering such opinions are riding quads and thrusters. The f...

As i said before. They are a fairly touchy bunch on here.
no place to make a joke natho. How dare you.
