RealSurf Surfers' Forum

G-Land is certainly an option but I'd hate it to be maxed out & me being an onlooker, or scalped like Beany's mate. The same SW swells hit Roti and it holds any size, really! But there's very few takers when its huge. If you glance up from the dinner table at Tirosa you'll see a very faded picture ...

More or less. I think its such a touchy subject that probably the best score you can hope for is a zero, getting minus points would be really easy though

OK, Realsurf hardcore surfer scoring sheet:

Vibe: 10
Board Talk: 10
Surf Advice: 10
Core Moral Stance: 10
Claiming: -10 (you can only lose points for this)

I think skipper just opened with a solid 18, scored as:

Vibe: 9
Board Talk: 3
Surf Advice: 1
Core Moral Stance: 5
Claiming: 0

What criteria are we using? Well if you don't mind me suggesting, I think it is really more about how hard core we come across here on RS. It can have fcuk all to do with how good you are. Like who knows what really goes on? All we have to go on is the claiming, the surf checks, the stance one take...

Riding asian pop-outs has to be grounds for immediate disqualification or this comp can have zero credibility. Exactly the opposite. According to well known pundits of surfing, this particular choice of surfcraft handicaps a surfer to such an extent that any surfer who can make them work must posse...

Or the Gold Coast. This is a measure of how prepared you are to suffer for your chosen sport

Everywhere is crowded so just maybe pick the places with the waves that you want to surf: mellow, hollow, lefts, rights? Are you prepared to travel hard and accept basic accommodation, or is comfort and easy access a priority. Are you good enough to compete, and want to compete, for the best waves a...

What criteria are we using? Just being the best doesn't automatically mean hardcore. Committment and hours in the water for the last year may be indicators of more core.

This should be a yearly comp.

Nick is excluded because ex pro.

Disabling the Lennox camera

WTF! You telling me Ulus is not a secret spot?

Did locals get the flaming torches and pitchforks at Swellnet's office or the property where the camera is located?

I know the full story.

I'm sure you had your reasons.

I don't get protein powder. there are so many abundant sources of high quality naturally occurring protein, why do you need a processed source? Well exactly, you should get it, as its made from whey which is "an abundant sources of high quality naturally occurring protein". The joke is though that ...

Nicks gonna have to lift his game in the snow I think

Great vid brendo, I wanna see it from a drone pov!

Control has been sacrificed for speed

Don't sell Beery, keep the good ones. You've had a run of injuries, but in a year, or 2, or 5, or whatever, you'll be back into it and kicking yourself for letting good boards go
