RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Nick have you ever surfed the Great Barrier Reef? Was watching a fishing show and could see clean swell lines breaking on a reef pass. I imagine swells would be a bit fickle but if you knew what to look for there could be good waves.

Crystal Meth abuse has become a cultural experience amongst the locals otherwise bashing and intimidating visiting surfers.

What waves do you want these things tested in Roy?

Been here for about a year. Good to have him around.

Does he still surf much Steve?

Is it Roy Stewart or Roy Stuart? What is the purpose of crowd funding this experiment I noticed it's a transaction for fins or boards at the higher end of the donation scale. Don't want to dig into your own pocket to sponsor the testing of these boards?

Roy gonna get one of these down to Tassie for the shipsterns crew?

Well done Shearer.

Nick what are the waves like in the Telos compared to the Ments in your experience.

No worries thanks.

They may not be fully aware of the limitations of equipment a lot of beginners are misguided by certain surf shop salesman who have no idea what board best suits there needs. The test wouldn't need to go into a lot of details but things such a stability and ease of paddling could be factors for not ...

Look, I know this is difficult to fathom. Most people with enough of an act as a boardmaker that they can advertise their product know how to make a pretty good board these days. There really aren't any shit boards in the market any more, at least in the area of professional surfboard production. (...

They have to be an advertiser with the mag, ie buy a page of advertising space during the year They have to be into it, willing to put a board into the mix, engage in dialogue with me and other members of the SL team, commit to getting it done on time etc, and trust us not to fcuk it up somehow Tha...

Well he's up there for sure. You will probably have forgotten that O's breakthrough WCT performance was at Teahupo'o a few years back, when he blew apart the field in excellent surf and was just nudged by Kelly in the final. This sort of surf is one of his metiers. But only a couple of weeks after ...

Nick I have noticed Tim Bonython "swell chasers" amongst others has done a few trips to Tahiti to film some solid swells which Owen Wright has been one of the standout surfers throughout. This has made Owens performance in Fiji today no surprise after he was provided a canvas to showcase his skills....

BA I thought Nick would enjoy a bit of Trivia. Nick do you enjoy the quiz in the paper?

Nick 2001 World Champion CJ Hobgood has announced he will retire from competition at the end of the year. CJ deserves to be a champion and is one of the best surfers to watch in solid barreling lefts like Chopes. As we all know the tour was cut short in 2001 due to the September 11th terrorist attac...

Nick you mentioned Kendrick Lamar as somewhat of a modern day rockstar poet. How does he compare to the late great Tupac Shakur?
