SJS (Scott James) on the tweed coast ex-NZ makes some nice looking twins.

I do wonder though why he tends to use those down rails a lot.

Looks nice!

Yeah that’s my hesitation re: channel twins. I’d be mostly surfing it in beach breaks Not exactly the same but check out Gary Mcneil Torus twin, they go pretty sick Hmm. Looks nice. But not so sure about keel fins for beach breaks. 🤔 Dont put keels in it, use uprights... swap them for keels on poin...

Anyone using a twin fin (incl tail channels) as a go-to shortboard? I like twinnies, but mostly only in smaller softer conditions. Though it’s been a while. Interested to revisit, keen to understand if the tail channels actually do much in terms of extra stability and hold? If not, there’s always th...

Hey Daz!!

Yeh, I stop putting numbers on it above the 10-12’ category.

How was it?

Perfect conditions but only 2 foot with an occasional bigger set

Headlands.

North Maroubra. Dunny bowl rights and left off the storm drain bank

Thanks for the reply stu

Hatchy, I've surfed it a few dozen times ages ago, never when it was big as I usually went there when Cronllua was small or to avoid crowds. A nice boil on the Northen end and a mellower break south. Are the shacks still there? No shacks at either Marley beach I’m aware of. And yes, smaller conditi...

Anyone surfed either little or big Marley beach in the royal national park before? It’s around a 50 min walk north or Wattamolla. I’ve checked it on foot three times now, and curious to hear from anyone that’s surfed it. Apparently it’s deemed by SLSA as one of the most dangerous unpatrolled beaches...

Geoff McCoy and Grant Miller seem like the epitome of the egocentric shapers. Geoff probably takes the cake, deluded, jaded, grumpy, etc. equally both these shapers have odd fan bases that lap up their kool aid.

Is there any shaper out there that Doesn’t have some sort of weird ego/complex?

I can’t recall ever dealing with one that was down to earth.
