RealSurf Surfers' Forum

I know a bloke at Kiama who recycles busted boards into handplanes. He had a thing in the Royal National Park where he made a 1000 surfboard graveyard. They are pretty expensive from what I remember. http://ectohandplanes.com/ yep they are pretty exxy, and i think the amount of foam they carry is w...

like wearing a big swimming paddle. i reckon the foam ones would be a bit awkward though.

i do them. $120 a pop. none in stock right now but i can do one for ya Nice one. Do you have a site with some of your work? i just have a facebook and instagram that i put most of my boards on. not many hand planes though. here's one from a while back. I have a laser etcher now for burning logos to...

The machine won't defeat the purpose. You can get a crude cut down which locks in the rocker, which is the big thing. Then you can hand work everything else into place. I would suggest using the Bushman rocker because Tom's Rawson rockers are not normal, and Jeff's rockers are superb. And there's n...

tomo vanguard or similar.

PS i wouldn't be riding a step down in 4ft surf - thats pure HP territory.

treehouse shapes runs a nice class but good luck getting something surf able on your first go. takes about 10-20 boards without help to get a nice clean shape your first one might not look pretty but it'll surf ok. especially if you have a pro showing you want to do. ive seen some really nice looki...

i enjoy watching it about 10x better than watching hipster kids doing air spins in beach break slop, followed by cigarette smoking and rude gestures, which seems to be popular in surf clips these days.

who were the surfers on this trip?

is there a new ASL board test video and run down coming soon??

roy,

interested in your take for a set of thruster fins, or hatchet style twins

i thought a few of slaters 9's were pretty inflated scores.

can you do pistols??

monday looks insane!!

Re skiing and helmets Wouldn't you be much more likely to break your leg or hurt your knees/back while skiing?? How many people are hitting their heads while skiing? Nick, why are so many kids doing swimming lessons in wetsuits?. Surely this is more fkkukking dangerous and would make it way harder ...

I think he's talking about a balsa McCoy, rmb. Nick, how is it possible that pros can still find themselves riding a board in a contest that isn't right? And who is to blame, shaper or surfer? Ha if you're talking about some of the weird shit going on at JBay on the final day, I think there was som...

checked the surf at about 3:45, howling offshore and some 2 footers starting to show.

Mate posted some 4-5 foot photos on dark

Whats your opinion of that puppy versus the rectangles you've been shaping pirate? Looks awesome by the way! I've had a couple that resemble nano style boards in the past, this one i toned down the deep concave, and faded it to flat with ever so slight v out the tail. It is intended to have more ra...

this saturday - decent waves or washing machine?
