Pretty fun on the southern end of NB's

well so he and the mdeia say...wish history could repeat itself with Midget included this time around

I just have not liked the idea of another multi national company, and one who makes surfboards. Its sad to see how their impact influences longboarding and surfing in general. They are brainwashing the comp scene, giving boards away...AHHHHHHHH and sponsor every freaking comp. Its sad for me to watc...

I realised style and a smooth approach to the whole wave, was exactly what i wanted to develop when i was about 12. John Gill from Avalon was the first real inspiration. Was the most polished, silky smooth surfer i had seen, from there never looked back. Single fin develop that in a surfer for sure....

The first twin fin known to have been made came from Bob Simmons of Windansea, SoCal. Bob made a few twinnies as part of his pioneering of laminate construction in the late 1940s. I've seen one, it's pretty classic: redwood-lam balsa plus resin, round nose squaretail, the two fins almost right on t...

Amazing isn’t it, people can have deep pockets for only so long.

Watch this space kids, there could well be another about to fall, but not due to quality. Ramifications could be pretty unsettling for the industry.

I hate global surf industries. HATE.

Midget Farrelly, morally- beacuase he deserves alot more respect than he recieved post 66' till March 09' (when Bombora, a more comprehensive version of Australia's surfing history came out) but credit to Nat Young, he was a fantastic longboarder then, the 80s, 90s and now...as is midget still. The ...

Its doing its job. The last few days have been pumping, but not to great for it- more reserved for pintail semi gun shortboards lately

But there are some magical banks on the Northern Beaches, so if it drops, and wind stays offshore we will have some sick walls to highline.

Those models all go well and suit your wants....maybe not nessecarily your needs though...as in the Noosa 66 is an absolutely sick log...but only if you can get it in the right part of thewave all the time- and that is the pocket. The Dane Wilson model in a bell pin tail will get you 1-4 feet of use...

lame resizing effort but the fin is way uo the board.

here it is, piece of magic

apology fail … surfin turf completely loses sh!t … another harangue by surfin turf … there will be people who “get this” and people who don’t I understand your frustration. Some people will either never understand. Sometimes it is easier to share, wait and enjoy. everyone comes off more pleased wit...

Similar to a Liddle hull ? Yes Dain has drawn his inspiration from them. http://www.empireave.com/?p=1803 I think he mentions them in this article. No hate. But hows about a photo. And how does it go backside? . It is really difficult at first, i surfed perfect small Raglan on it and struggled the ...

6'9" Sea Bsicuit Shaped by Dain Thomas Sea Surfboards. It hates fat waves, but sucks when its dredging. it loves bottom turns but not real ones (pussy soft guided ones) it hates turning but loves sliding it isnt a longboard and cant noseride it, but its got a wide nose it sure as hell isnt a shortbo...

If this is the news i am devestated. Heaths another one of those quite Aassains who gets consistant results, epic shots and is a real down the earth guy...a bit like how Bede has been portrayed in the media.

I agree with Wanderer and Guard. DEFINATELY NO A BOARD FOR SLOP. fast, zippy down the line beachies, points or rivermouths. i prefer my forehand but thats only because i highline the shite out of them...my backhand i can get more unstuck. I also agree with brownhornet, Gettin a proven template and m...

gumby. :lol: i guess we are on the same page Nar lamesville surfs way better than you. Alaias...yep they are fun at lined up, peeling points or perfect sand bottom breaks. I personally cant set my line very well on them, mind you i have only ridden a 5'11" and a 6'6". Johnsons at Noosa- so much fun...
