So I'm claiming about 60 second rides, from memory, at Wanda and Ti Tree.

Yeah it depends on the size really, given a bigger day you can catch it further out as it is a slow and fat building wave. Pe rfectly suited to longer boards, which is exactly the reason why I'm getting an 8'6" delivered in a few weeks so I can finally compete with the older blokes on mals. Love surfing it on my 7' but it's pointless when you're up against goat-boaters, SUP's and mals.beachbanga wrote:Mmm I'm probably measuring it from the wrong spot...

Mick's Place as in Mick's Place directly opposite Bingin or do you mean the flash place before the corner closeout there?salty wrote:Impossibles... 800m... not one turn... a couple of long floaters though and had the lip nashing at my heals many times. From the peak off Padang Beach down to Mick's place on a solid 6ft swell. Sweetest, most intense ride of my life. It remains fixed in my memory and will do for life. When shit gets me down, I think of that ride.
Yeah it's slow and fat, but it's still a great wave! somehow... I don't think it really suits longer boards, the left is great for nice long roundhouses, and the right is great for speed runs and long rides, most mal riders/SUPs I see out there really suck! I just really hassle them all the time, especially when they fall off at the start on a good one... If their presence is enough to ruin a session, letting a good wave go to waste is a drop in pass to me... And whenever they get angry, I just say "sorry, i thought you were going to fall off!"Hatchman wrote:Yeah it depends on the size really, given a bigger day you can catch it further out as it is a slow and fat building wave.

Either way it's a long wave and you can get great rides.
Yeah maybe, on the odd occasion when I have had it mostly to myself (mid-week i.e. pulled a sickie) my 7' thruster goes really well on it though.beachbanga wrote:Yeah it's slow and fat, but it's still a great wave! somehow...

I think the best board for that wave would be a nice roundtail quad....

ha'' ha'' so i am the first one to ramble onsalty wrote:fwark me... I quickly scanned that lengthy post for anything that resembld "m" (for meters) or a number (not text) and couldnt see anything. Did you actually tell us how long any of those rides were? Perhaps you could start your own thread... hell, Larry might even contribute to it.
