Where did you surf today ?

[Hatchnam]

Get out there today loof? South end had some smokers

[Beanpole]

Wind swung around here around midday. Semi Okay lunchtime session. Looked better near dark. I've had so many waves lately. Rashed to buggery.

[The Mighty Sunbird]

Beanpole gets buggered up north.
Carroll drives back at 160km/hr

I'm just trying to inspire Godsave who is stuck in a little rut tick tacking on his fcukknuyckle.

I think you need to sort out your backhand first. I was fretting about it when I was in the water this morning and concluded that it’s mostly in the shoulders. You really need to open them up on your bottom turn, get that right hand pointing at the lip

[Hatchnam]

I was fretting

We noticed

[godsavetheking]

Any specialneeders whoop at your poostance today iggy?

[Wyre]

Well the swell just disappeared. Just when I have a proper day off. Fcuk!!

Yesterday I had the kids and it was off it’s head everywhere here. Was hoping for a little more today but it’s not to be.

[Hatchnam]

Poo stancing is a Wales thing, you know that as well as I do.

No hooting, but yes a passing comment here and there ‘nice wave’, etc.

It was breaking pretty shallow and dicey on the reef, with only three of us out.

God, is there anything worse than that over-coached "open your shoulders" thing that intermediates do when they think they are ripping?

[godsavetheking]

Hmm, I don’t know. When they don’t do it?

[Beanpole]

Yep, backed off here too.

Yes, yes there is. It's the over coached “pop-up" that pre intermediates do because they watched a surf strength video on Youtube

[Nick Carroll]

oh and am I the only one who wants to see a video of shearer trying to do an air on a softboard?

I think not.

[steve shearer]

what would you do if the evidence came down the pike?

Anymore Bonzers left?

[Nick Carroll]

I'd be thrilled!

Would then provide a video of me doing a carving 360

and...no more Bonzers left. A bunch of MCs, a 5'10" MG roundtail, an extremely rare 6'1" FW internal carbon skeleton model from maybe 2009? A 5'9" Burning Spears Pelagic six channel? The list goes on

[steve shearer]

nothing then.

close-out rock runners.

did one good backhand reo opening up the shoulders Godsave.

[alakaboo]

On the subject of opening the shoulders, a few months of skating has changed my snowboarding stance a fair bit, my back foot is not ducked out as much and my shoulders are more open.

[Beanpole]

The swell has dropped and swung more south. So while there are still plenty coming through it doesn't have the connecting drive of the first few days. Much more crowded. There's an interesting cast of characters in the line up. Log City of course. Heaps of female log riders, plus hipsters, kids, learners and old stagers like myself. Plus a few middle aged "chargers". Because of the easy take off you get some super novices thinking they are dominating. Plenty of opening shoulders but not much turning involved.

Saw a guy have a total spack out a few days ago. Must have an ice problem. Lost it after missing a wave but then proceeded to hold his head a snarl loudly for quite a while afterwards. There was a brief pause between the two reactions. Thing was the crowds weren't that bad then compared to now. Plenty of waves.
