RealSurf Surfers' Forum

nope - not much of a world tour fan and nope not planning on writing stories.

am beginning to understand why I may have stopped posting to the forum tho

ah - thanks for the feedback nuffink ngo... much appreciated.

got the message loud and clear - not sure you needed to post it 4 times

Yeah Steve - we thought long about that and eventually decided that nearly all of the spots that get added will be already known and the ones that aren't... people will keep to themselves. For example, there's plenty of spots I'd name - e.g. Golf Course Reef http://surftourist.com/trips/40 - but the...

Hey guys, long time lurker and very infrequent poster to the forum (the kneelo section on the forum doesn't get very busy - although I notice some action on kneelos today). A mate and me wanted a site where we could drool over other peoples surf trips and find inspiration to plan our next trip. Whet...

Jokes aside, IMO there has to be a god. How could everything we see, feel and touch just "be"? Its rediculous[sic] to think that the world just happened from some random big bang. no more ridiculous than an all powerful being who apparently created imperfect humans and then punishes them for being ...

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche the bible should be located in the fiction section of the library. it's one of the coolest works of collaborative fiction ever composed. some great stories in there. the idea of applying the strange set of contradictory precepts - s...

I would be interested to hear if there's any kneeboarders out there who can actually ride a shortie/mal/minimal with a reasonable level of competence but choose to ride a kneeboard instead. i grew up surfing and now ride both. depending on the conditions i'll ride a mal, or a mini-mal. but if the s...

declaration - i've worked with many travel insurance companies surf travel co are an affiliate of suresave - but you're probably getting charged 40% more than you should. the same product is available here: http://www.tid.com.au and will allow you to specify high value items. if you're going on a t...

There are two types of people - those who divide people into two types, and those who don't.

great to see a phreak like simon on swellnet...

no matter what craft he rides. one of the best surfers in oz in my opinion.

great footage of greenough... can never get enough of watching that guy in the water. a true waterman.

can't wait to see the flick - any eta on release?

greenough (and crystal voyager) were the reasson i started kneeboarding.

some great sessions in that film... i love the ultra-glassy gear with nat young when they pick bait off the rocks at low tide and fish from greenoughs wacky runabout.

a very inspiratonal dude.

geez Nick, how many times do I have to say that we're not all after the same thing? How many times do I have to say that the experience is different for every single person? what I am getting at is that there must be something that people enjoy when they're in the ocean... or they wouldn't keep doin...

as wavemagnet (who puts it all much better than me) noticed - I never even hinted that riding different surfcraft felt the same. my point was "matey" ... that if riding a particular kind if craft gets you to that indecipherable feeling - so be it. the point about the quiver was that i've glimpsed wh...

well i'm glad to see someone who disagrees with me! or at least challenges some assumptions. to answer a few things... kinda jealous of your versatile quiver and skills i do have a bunch of equipment - but don't get the wrong idea. i'm anything but good on any of these craft. most of the time i just...

I work from home - so I manage to squeeze things in. Never enough time in my life tho - that's why I go surfing. As for standing on a kneedboard... can definitely be done. Feels a little like a very short - very fat fish with not as much drive. If you've ever seen Simon Farrer out and about, he ofte...

Hey there crew, daily lurker - infrequent poster. I'm constantly baffled, frustrated and bemused by how many posts there are stirring the surfcraft debate. It tends to be bodyboarding vs stand up surfing - but it comes in many other forms. It's really simple guys (and I know it's been said before) -...

I've tried using fins without much success.

I really notice the drag, but most of all I my feet slip and I lose power in my turns... so they had to go.
