RealSurf Surfers' Forum

As the low tide hit it got very nice down here.

Good point channels. With regards race/culture etc- I had a couple of interesting experiences surfing Bondi. I could be mistaken for Brazilian, and on two occasions I realised this was indeed happening. A couple of 'local' (read: trustafarians or cashed up tradies who'd lived there for 3 years) surf...

Well this morning's conditions were absolutely spiffing, what?

More time in the surf?

Yesterday, quintessential Mid-North Coast point break. Waist to chest high, clean and peeling forever. Crystal clear warm water. Today, quintessential Mid-North Coast beachie. Waist high peaks with the odd bigger one. Super clean. Warm water. I could happily live up here. Nice one BA!! When it's go...

See now, this is why skateboarding will always be cooler than surfing for the youth. Young surfers get old and keep surfing, thus losing any semblance of rebel edge or cool, whereas skateboarding at 40+ is a recipe for broken bones, busted kneecaps and a host of other injuries.* Sk8 or Die! (Die) Of...

Noosa would be on the pump

Picking up a new 7-4 tomorrow
Then will be staying @ Noosa from Wednesday morning for a few days

Anyone hoping to get some waves in Noosa better get there before Wednesday then, Salty?

Nowhere near as big as predicted this morning.

Edit: at least down here

haha! Yes- I'll be hopefully surfing somewhere at that point.

You about tomorrow? I’m hitting coal coast and further south. Should be a couple of options

Only for the Parent Hour (ish).. 5.45-7am.

I think a rock shelf big left hander might be good!

Pah-lenty of swell down here. Shame about the wind but there were some glassy windows of opportunity today. Definitely on the build!

It was descriptive really. Peachy buttocks are peachy buttocks.

Doesn’t mean you were perving, just observing.

Right?

Not really a swell for the coal coast today is it. Too souf, too long period

Yep pretty much. There were good sets around but very inconsistent

I drove around in a state of indecision until the wind came up

Sent you a PM, Wyre. I recommend sorting out the back problem with a decent diagnosis first. I'm doing exercises I know work for me, based on 20 years of advice from physios. Thanks for the pm ‘Boo. Been trying to reply all day but the kids are like some kind of time-sucking monsters, unstoppable i...

I'm not against weights, far from it. I've been doing some light stuff this year and resolved some niggling/recurring back and shoulder issues. Ok, you and Shearer both mentioned your back issues cleared up from weight work. My back has been acutely sore over and over again the last 4 years. Im fai...

He's doing a top job on his goat there!

But tomorrow is another day!

Sandon is a fairly ledgy wave with a quick take off. I once took a gun out there and soon wished I was on a much smaller board, as the run up time needed for the gun simply wasn’t there. Yep exactly. I hated my board and had no confidence in it, although it was great for scratching over the sets. I...
