Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
Unfortunately I left just before the comp, but here's a few pics anyway.
24 frames of a relaxing Padang cake walk
Its a wonder he's still awake
Lucky he didn't doze off, somethings about to happen

Yeah Legion. I'm loathe to criticise anyone who surfs Padang though.
I've got a few good wipeouts to put up next

There was only about four out on this day.

Most waves weren't made that session - bumpy conditions and/or sectioning too fast
Goddamn, why won't that rail hold

Turns into the that little wave on the face

Nothing too spectacular this trip. I surfed all the good days, took all these pics while waiting on the wind
I like the way the face really opens out

Looks good on the last one. Out of my league these days but good.

So Cranked, you sit out all these tradewind sessions because your board doesn't like the bump?
I want Nightclub Dwight dead in his grave I want the nice-nice up in blazes
Re: Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
They aren't the trades. Rode the the bumps if I was bored, but there was always 6 or more hours of non wind affected waves on any given day.steve shearer wrote:So Cranked, you sit out all these tradewind sessions because your board doesn't like the bump?
Its me that doesn't like the bumps,not much difference,for me anyway, between poly and sandwich

Re: Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
Can't say i didn't try cranked. All those pics i put up of the Brazilian carving it up on a mini mal didn't get a single bite from Steve. Perhaps he found them too confronting
Re: Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
Maybe Cranked is more of a front foot surfer than most, which might alleviate some non-poly issues.
Re: Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
Maybe cranked just prefers surftechs, simple as that?
Re: Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
No doubt, the sheer horror of it probably unsettled him, apoplectic, so he went back to the more comforting criticism of STs.Hatchnam wrote:Can't say i didn't try cranked.

I rode that 6'6 Delta epoxy sandwich in a very choppy beach break this morning, its even stiffer than a surftech. The step deck makes it hard to get a good grip of the rail for duck diving too, reckon they should have faded it out earlier in the nose.

Re: Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
I'm definitely a back foot surfer, but I don't know how front footedness would help. To my mind it seems it would be better to weight the back foot because that's where the board is more narrow and there might even be some V, but its not something I've ever consciously tried to do in chop.foamy wrote:Maybe Cranked is more of a front foot surfer than most, which might alleviate some non-poly issues.
I think chop is only a problem at speed. As far as I know water resistance goes up as the cube of the speed (in air its as the square of speed), so it rapidly becomes a big problem as you increase your speed

Re: Padang July 2016 (image heavy)
I think you're right cranked. He realises the Brazzo mini mal surfer he bagged out actually outclasses him. It must be a real blow

Solid waves no doubt
