Thoughts on this fella's surfing? Around 11mins his first wave at J Bay is a cracker. No TC but pretty damn good. I'm not too familiar with him.

Yeh great wave and so well surfed but I still would have preferred another 6 inches on the board.

I'm actually quite enjoying the Narra Classic. Some good surfing going down in conditions we can all relate to!

missed it completely today. might watch a few highlights with an evening beer and weep. had been planning to spend the upcoming week (second week of school break) in phuket, getting a couple of surfs in, but a covid19 outbreak and associated inter-province travel restrictions have put paid to that. drats! boohoo...

There’s surf on Phuket? I remember having some pretty good body surfing sessions over the other side on Kho Samui.

Spent Xmas once at Kho Samui and every morning had a body surf on a lovely little sandbank - everyone else was still in bed with hangovers. Was living/working in HK at the time so any wave was a godsend.

That wasn't Trev, he's a Trev wannabe. Dude never did one single head dip.

Nice fun waves.
But as usual the nose riding leaves me cold.
I love turning a board and staying close to the slot.
People riding obviously purpose built nose riders, jumping to their feet and walking straight to the nose just don't grab me.
Waste of a good wave.

Where's Steve, we need him to verify this claim:

"... the Almadies peninsula in Senegal, a current buzz destination with one of the largest swell windows in the world".

Steve's probably vegging out and basking in the family embrace after several long hard days of surf reporting for Beachgrit on the Narrabeen contest. And a marvellous job he's done too. You beauty Steve.
