does anyone body surf at freshie? which end?

haha, thanks fellas.... hey christopher: taking too much clothes isnt really a big problem for me cuse i could just take half of it out, but i tend to always think "what if i got bored" or "i might be able to do that during the trip".......they are killers, you would end up bring half your house int...

g'day fellas
just wondering how much you guys pack for about a week long holiday (to a relatively warm place)? like how many pair or boardies or shirts......i tend to overpack everytime....just trying to safe some space.
cheers

g'day fellas
just wondering where you guys usually go for a good body surf where there wont be too many surfers around and get my head knocked in with a board?
cheers

g'day scooter,
nice to see u here
went out today at freshie, as miserable as ever, onshore wind, cloudy, cold, sunless.........

g'day davek, about the fins i use for bodysurfing, i just got these random ones i found at home, DA fins, they arent the best fins around, they give me foot cramps after about 45minutes but it does the job fairly well in terms of getting me onto a wave and control etc. i wish i could go everyday but...

g'day dave, went to freshie on saturday for a swim and surf on the paddle boards, pretty good bodysurf there at the kiddies end without the surfers. great wheather suprisingly. went again on sunday but to north stenye.....too crowded but great wheather, boardies did the job. any recent good body sur...

i have seen those fins before cause i do scuba diving as well, they were orignially designed for freediving so you get maximum power, but wouldnt be a bit hard to move around with them on land?
cheers

has anyone seen, heard of or even used these fins called "da fin" from hawaii? are they any good?
where could you get a good range of fins in sydney?

thanks
what would be a good surf shop to look at around the northern beaches region.
i got kind flat, wide feet

g'day fellas i can see the discussion is heating up a bit in here over the topic "best fins" anyway, i m looking for a pair of fins for bodysurfing that would provide good durability and comfort, any suggestions? there are so many brands out there at the moment, eg POD, vipor, churchill, redleys.......

g'day fellas,
i m not too sure what you guys are on about, everyone seems a little fired up.
anyway, good to see freshie boys around.
are there any freshie clubbies around in this forum?
kenny

yeah, i guess they are not too expensive since they are just plastic pieces. its just the design and idea of this product that cost.
thanks for the info fellas

i think they are the ones i tried last time.
how much do they cost?

where do u guys bodysurf at? i usually go to freshie or north stenye.
i have small feet but i could still get on a wave alright.
can someone please post up the pods photos cuse' i struggle to find them on the internet.

hi, i think i have used a pair of those, i m not sure if they are exactly the same but i know they were for bodysurfing. i didnt notice much difference the first time i used it, probably because i was in small surf, what other advantages do you notice with handskis on? normally i just use fins.........

are handskis things you wear on your hands while body surfing?

i guess sharks are not THAT scary, i heard 9 out of 10 times they are just curious, but just let us stay clear of the shark topic.
