Re: Autumn

Re: Autumn
It's a great time to be a surfer here, especially when you get every second week off.
Re: Autumn
Saw that you got a good mal MM.
One thing I like about mals is, even if you haven't surfed for 6 months or more, you can paddle out and have a good time.
What I don't like though is that you can jump off a shortboard and ride a mal OK with an hour, but going from a mal back to a shortboard seems to take forever to adapt.

Re: Autumn
Catching a big open face on a 9' mal feels great. The length feels like it fits into the wave. It's a different feeling.

Unless you have a too small centre fin and as you lean it over hard it pops out and you face plant haha
Re: Autumn
I have. Huie made me a 7 1/2 greenough which was awesome as a 2+1 in my old 9'2" ( and in smaller stuff just by itself ). Got into a beauty one morning, bit overhead and steep and leaned it hard off the bottom and it just slipped out. Should've put the 8 1/2" in

Re: Autumn
yeah... it's been a stuttering fucking mess, this autumn. throw in the shit banks from the constant pounding of swell and onshores and it's the worst one in a while, huh?

Re: Autumn
More east in the swell today. Bank handled the little swell much better before the wind came up. So that's five weeks of surfing six days a week.

Re: Autumn
still sore when it bends mate, like duck diving is still the worst. and surfing backhand is still nearly impossible, but the pain is becoming more manageable. i can do push ups on it which is a solid improvement. it still comes up sore and a little swollen if i'm on me feet all day or after a run.
but yeah, much improved. i literally couldn't bend it for over 3-months. just madness, really.

this isn't autumn. Autumn is postponed until winter.

Re: Autumn
God I hope so, but I have a nasty gut feeling this whole low energy period is going to culminate in a big winter bank busting storm which is going to leave us with boat harbours instead of Point breaks.
