How can you ponder hiring a board for a few days? Just fccckn hire one or don't.Beanpole wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 8:05 pmSat on the beach at Danang for a few days looking at the tiny waves there.

How crazy are those little round basket boats.

Let's see, Loof. Ever sat at the beach thinking it's been a while since you have had a surf and pondered whether it's worth going out or not?Drailed wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 1:44 pmHow can you ponder hiring a board for a few days?

Then come back the next day and tried to convince yourself it's maybe got bigger?
I guess you don't do that. Busy man.
In fact had almost exactly the same thoughts yesterday. Went for a bit of a run up to the north end. I was thinking was it worth going out if I had a softboard. Was it worth going home to get one?
Then I saw someone has put a few loaners on the railings up there.
I thought maybe I should grab one and have a paddle. Then I decided I couldn't be bothered.
Better today. Had an okay surf.

Idle thoughts Steve. You have to understand this was taking place in between swims on a deck chair under a palm frond beach awning with a cold drink. It's definitely in the could I be bothered......at least I could say I had a surf here category.

There will be time, there will be time
Time to murder and create
And time to rent a surfboard on the third or fourth day of thinking about it

What are your thoughts re having the WSL bring a comp to your beach Lucky Al?
Doesn't look much worse than Rio.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Danang was a bit like that actually. I was going to meet friends in Hanoi and just spent a few days laying on the beach and checking out the resident expats guzzling beer in local bars. It would be an easy place to live and work in.
HoiAn was pretty good but a bit of a tourist trap.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
It is worse than Rio. Much worse. And no one in the village has ever heard of Kelly or John John or Gabriel or anyone. No point in having a comp at our beach.

They have the World Longboarding Champs in Hainan, China. A bit more swell though.
