RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Too true on Horan Kookster, just taking a dig at rockspider on sways - it's a boring argument that i've heard too many times. Gerry had a zot and he alludes he is happier on the tiny potbelly -- i wonder if Geoff will ever make a thruster zot? And what would be the surf-able differences?

One day Cuttle. I am firm believer that we got it so wrong. If i had it my way, we'd all be swinging from trees and surfing (what boards? i'm not sure...) As far as jobs, bills and money, well they would only be spoken of like the boogey man or vampires - as in "Go to sleep or you'll be forced to ge...

Good boards, i like em, but you'll always find people that hate them even though they've never ridden them. I have found it to be a consistent problem here: http://www2.swaylocks.com/forums/geoff-mccoy-surfboard-design-theory?page=1 Before you attempt to dispel the myth behind a design you should al...

I am a big fan of the nuggets and have ridden a number of them. My fav is my 5'8 all rounder. I rode it almost exclusively for twelve months and it goes great in a number of conditions. It loves a sucky wave - the soft rail and loaded dome do their magic well. Came close to getting a zot but ended u...

I'm with you cpt - all this board needs is a wall, no matter how small or lumpy. It doesn't suit a close-out, but what board does? I'm really enjoying mine, but then again i like experimenting with a range of surf craft and avoid riding a 6'4 pencil thin thruster unless the conditions suit - in whic...

You've sold me with your logic, i'm getting rid of mine immediately.

what kind did you try? what sort of short board would you replace it with for the conditions you surfed in?

Nice looking board wingnut - that a Black Apache? What dimensions? I'm riding one of Pridmore's Dim Sims - 5'1, 20 7/8, 9/16. Just started on it (sorry MP cut the curing by a day or two!) and boy what a blast. Tried it at a few different breaks to get a feel for what it likes. There was plenty of sw...

wow 3'8 - is that the size of a body board? He is an outstanding surfer no doubt. Great to hear the significant difference in those boards cuttle - it would make an interesting quiver - just mini-simmons!

Just did a happy dance MP - can't wait for that board!

Or go to Swaylocks jokes.

What's the smallest anyone has seen in terms of the mini-simmons - i heard 4'6 thrown around - has anyone ridden one sub 5'0?

Hey Beery, once i have the dim-sim we'll meet up and have a mccoy/dim-sim surf, hopefully we'll have more luck than the last few times!

fess up cuttle - what have you got on the way? That sweet 5'1 that Pridmore previewed earlier is all mine and i cannot wait
