It’s a pretty small place that seems to book out pretty quick. I’m only spending $1700 including flights (garuda all the way there and back). Loads cheaper than the Tengirri boat trip I did in 2016, but less time away from the kids which is important. If I didn’t travel so much for work I’d be doing...

Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
When I saw the post on instagram, I was that excited a little bit of wee came out....

6’10 x 21 x 2 7/8 44L

I’m staying at the Sumba surf camp. 6-12th. Ended up with 6’10 Jye Byrnes Crossbreed this morning after seeing one second hand on his instagram page, with fins for a bargain. I used to have 6’8 PCC which I took to indo a couple of years ago, stupidly sold it. Similar shape as Iggy’s 6’4. I love taki...

I've owned a few of them and did a few seasons in Roti on a 7'6. It'll go just fine in anything - head to double no problem.

Much appreciated

im going to Sumba in April.
Anyone ever taken a 7-7’6 mctavish carver to indo before?

7’2 x 20 1/2 x 2 3/4.

Going to use it for when my arms are farked towards the end of the trip.
I hear Millers right gets looong.

Sounds like too much hard work for little reward. I need to surf the beachies more. I realised how unfit (how lazy i’ve become) i was the other day when i tried getting out at north Narrabeen. Spending too much time at the point really has a negative impact on fitness and duck diving skills... Been ...

You gotta treat big surf like it's little surf.

I am fccckn beating me chest here brother. We share the same philosophies.

Nah, you’re one of the swines that keep me amused...which keeps me coming back for a different reason.

No meat and three veg here the last coupla days. Yesterday just all feeling a bit Hawaiian, smooth late drops, deep connective turns on the big six, epic show-pony "down carves" with the whole drop knee shtick going, changing up the lines, letting the board manhandle the wave, then riding into sand...

All of the well known brands have a similar model to that one. It’s all “more foam under the chest, wider point pushed forward bla bla bla”. There are differences between them so before splashing out $800 on the Chilli I’d look at the DHD models and definitely Lost and maybe Channel Islands. They’r...

Thanks Bob.

Booked an air bnb in amsterdam right in the thick of it.

I'll pack a wetty and if the surf is good i'll cancel the booking and go surfing.

you can get stoned and ride a bike anywhere.

Yeah but ya can’t get stoned and ride to the museum of erotica just anywhere can you?

Just buy it. And if you don't like it sell it. :) The swallow tail issue was surrounding the board on the gumtree. The rocker question was more around my thoughts on getting a board with a bit more rocker for the better days around home. I like the looks of the Slater designs Gamma. Thinking the 5’...

Also,

If you had two boards exactly the same, but one had low entry and exit rocker and the other had medium entry and exit rocker. How much different would the boards paddle? Would it be that noticeable?

Eat a raw herring......whole.

sounds awesome

It used to be relatively quiet (shoes) yeah, with the advent of social media and all the local hot groms trying to get "the shot" it's a fkn zoo down there. I only check it if I have a day off work. Great wave to shoot in all honestly so many different vantage points. there's almost always someone ...

i don't like shoes. too many people in a small group. I need my space from time to time in the line up.

I really do need to spend more time at Sandon
