RealSurf Surfers' Forum

Although you could argue surfing has a higher proportion of random luck than a lot of sports. I think they should be required to specifically identify which god they are refering to. “I would like to thank Huey for sending me that double up barrel that got me out of a combo.” “Kanaloa has gifted me ...

I remember seeing MOTE at the Capitol Coolangatta. It was a big deal. MP was just a hot local kid in those days and having him on the big screen with surf gods like Nat and guys from Sydney and Hawaii was mind blowing. Probably for him too. Saw Crystal Voyager at the Kingscliff Amenities Hall. We us...

Pretty scrappy.

Weren’t there issues with the Doors soundtrack like a lot of old movies?
Pink Floyd gave Greenough the rights to use Echoes in Crystal Voyager and MOTE had an original soundtrack.

Comp on today?

Checked the beach cams at Bondi. Semi low tide. A pile of people swimming in the rain and a pack of people on foamies taking off on elevator shaft close outs. It’s funny watching novices lack of surf awareness manifest itself. Have to admire their tenacity and optimism though. Maybe this wave will b...

Mexico and the southern parts of USA are experiencing temps in the high 40s Celsius. Multiple records broken. Just a constant round of heatwaves, floods and droughts worldwide. Fingers crossed Oz is having a break at the moment.

thanks Trev. Balls are doing okay.

Nah, Bondi is putrid at the moment. Barely not closing out at high tide. Saw The Bra this morning. It looked way better….plus another couple of spots around here.

Narra looking fcuking ordinary again.

Thanks, Offie. Just glad to get the ball rolling.

Got a couple of nice drops today. Haven’t caught one of those particular peaks for quite a while.

It was a custom for an Irish friend of Steve’s.
Correct.
Football part, I don’t know. Was just speculating his build.

Cheers, Buddy. Custom made wetsuits are a niche market.

You mean the suit was custom made for an Irish football player?

Yeh.
It’s pretty good.
Not a perfect fit but does a solid job.
I’m picturing the guy it was made for as that classic Irish footy player build, strong and solid through the hips, wiry arms, small chest.

Rather than a Japanese guy. Do they make wetsuits with short legs over there?

So, went to specialist. Ultrasound needed then possibly both sides done in 2 to 3 weeks after that.

I know it's an inch thicker, but even allowing for that it's way, way heavier and stiffer and harder to paddle in.

No wonder it's a bit stiff.

I noticed that too

Is Steve having difficulty with converting millimeters to imperial measurements?
……or just hyperbole laid on too thickly.

Man, Narrabeen looks ordinary. Lots of close outs and rail bogs.
