RealSurf Surfers' Forum

thanks vb, im with you on most of what you said.

so steamer it is and boardies should that hot day arise. i suffer badly from skin growths.

so 3/2? thats prob the best all round isnt it?

fizmeister you have asked two very good questions lately which i will provide you with the answers. 1. What time of year steamer gives way to springie? 2. How olds too old to bodyboard? If you go to your local branch of the SLSA and ask them for a surfing timetable it will provide you with all the ...

thanks toby

due to melanoma issues i want something i can wear most of the year. i find boardies uncomfortable. but then so is a full length steamer.

i see a lot of guys surfing in summer now in springies.

I dont own either. Hence I dont get out much.

But looking to jump in a bit more often now.

Will I be all good with a springie around the central coast and sydney? Or still too cold?

Went there years ago. Pubs closed @ 9, TV coled @ 10 and you had to be 21 to drink. Pretty place, pretty boring place. where did you go, stewart island? i would say in comparison to the likes of brisbane its a LOT more interesting. Pubs open 24 hours, super markets open 24 hours and sell beer and w...

oh no, the infamous salty has joined in, now things are due to head in an immature downhill spiral :lol: salty you do write some dribble on these forums, but most seem to like you for some reason. i will reserve my judgement until i find out if your bigger than i am ha ha. on a serious note, thanks ...

Jeezus Fizl, if you are even out there you are doing well, onya! thanks ric well i guess at 37 im old. but i dont give a rats wat other ppl think about wat i do. i think thats the prob with a lot of young surfers, they either trying to be somebody or something. like its like totally cool how i grab...

I agree with Ric. The only other factor not mentioned apart from how old is how flexible are you? Some people are way more flexible than others and that flexibilty decreases with age. Its the biggest limitation on board size I reckon. thanks ric thats my main prob, im not that great in flexibility....

thankyou and please come again .... next please ...... i rest my case. school holidays are obviouslly under way. what would you rather have, people asking genuine questions or a forum full of dribbly self centred groms saying stupid stuff to big note themselves? forums are about knowledge sharing. ...

Methinks that Ringmaster was just commenting that all or most of the information required could've been found in other threads, for sure, i wasnt meaning what i said in direction to ringmaster. what i meant is, there are some kids on here who seem to think that because they been surfing for a coupl...

With the repetitiveness of these same old threads lately, I reckon 'Real Surf' is in danger of becoming 'REMEDIAL SURF 101' :roll: are you a localism hero too? :roll: fair dinkum, if you dont like the question dont reply, if you dont like the forum............... im not looking for a leetist tude, ...

Ok Im an FBN, but unlikely to be a kook . I am currently hiring boards (only had 1 lesson so far). Currently using a mal softboard. But I want to eventually buy a short board. Prob not until I lost a bit of weight. Currently 110kg. Hope to be 100kg within a few months. So given im 6ft1 and heavy. Wh...

nah have not bought it yet. seemed to exi as normally the rrp is $249 so i led to believe.

ok i tried on a billabong foil. was ok. very stiff upper body, in the arms, thought this may suck when paddling. the other issue is, i tried a xxl, which was about right size, but length was about 2 inches too long on legs and arms. any advice there? i cant seem to find a xxl short in the cheaper mo...

plenty of lard.

but still feel the cold immensely.

is 4/3 too thick? i mean i wanna be warm. dont give a rats about mobility or what other people think. i just wanna be warm.

i was considering the classic.

I need a wetty to get me through winter. I have put on some beef, approx 105kg and size 42 waste. (big mofo)

im 6ft2.

dont want to over invest as i will likely go from an xl to a l next year.

so something cheap, but i want to be warm, i hate the cold. 3/2 etc.

any suggestions?
