RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Absolutely beautiful morning, out before sunrise, surfed till 8 am and rode one all the way to the beach as the next shift (one surfer) walked out to the keyhole. 8) I'd be expecting it even better tomorrow (Wednesday) morning Trev with the wave buoys showing the arrival of the expected E'ly ground...

It's small up here at last. This morning I had waist high, peeling waves to myself for 2 hours at my local. :lol: I could see people out on the beachies up the coast a bit - probably had another foot of size but hey, I was ALONE. Never stopped catching waves. And every now and then one would sneak t...

Sorry oldman, I tried really hard not to do this, honest

Watch it Trev or I'll come back at you with bounding negativitudosity

Take this, immediately.

I've heard of these people whose boards get smelly and even mouldy if they put them into a board bag wet. I can't remember ever wiping down a board, and the board goes into the board bag wet and comes out wet. It's all left in the garage, it never smells and never gets mouldy. Maybe it's something ...

Pictures!
Or it didn't happen

Got hammered several times this morning. One time was one of those, "it's so dark, which way is up?" thingies. Unfortunately it was so heavy, I was still wrapped around my board (arms and legs) and it was down there with me. What sort of weight does it take to bury 9'3" of foam and fibreglass and a ...

They are and they were.
Just didn't get any pics of it. Couple of backhand riders were doing it well.

A few from this morning. Quality isn't a patch on some of the "gun" photographers on here but I only have a $300 camera. You get the idea, though. Plenty of unridden waves going through, too. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/TrevG27/2009_042109JanSurf0004Small.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/...

Every day seems to just get better.

I grew up surfing outside of the surfing culture I suppose, I just didnt want to conform to it. I started surfing late at the age of 14, would never have considered myself a local at any beach as no one can own a beach. I was not a member of any surf club and never had the inclination to join one, ...

Mate I've got the Brewer 9"0 waxed up for Sunday bloody Sunday at the Point. 10 foot bomb sets with a 20 knot offshore should keep the crowds on the hill. Seems like it's winding up a little earlier than expected. 2009, a vintage worth bottling. (don't worry Dino the coffee's still shitt here.) Wel...

All seems pretty crazy to me. Leave the numbers alone. Obviously there's a good mix of talent out there. Even a wildcard qualifier can get to the final on a good day.
Would get pretty boring watching the same 16 all the time.

after a while 3 mid 20’s boogie boarders paddled out about 50 meters north of me onto another peak and were getting plenty of waves but after about 30 minutes they drifted down to where I was taking off … the three of them then started buzzing around me paddling back and forwards chasing every bump...

Anyone else having these problems. My Avatar disappears periodically - like every few days. When I go into the User Control Panel it tells me I don't have one. I reload it and then a few days or a week or so later it disappears again. Also I have marked all topics to "stop watching" on several occas...

Surfin', you seem to be a man after my own heart. When I lose it, I lose it. And immediately regret it. Then later, when I get a chance to think it through I generally end up at peace with my actions. There are some tools that just deserve it. Have you been called a "grumpy old bugger" yet? I got th...
