A real dilapidated tug boat of a surfboard...I'd choose that over a finely glassed stepup to surf 10ft outside corner because I would have confidence paddling to the things.
Every time I've seen outside corner over 8', just about everyone is way undergunned. The good guys know where to sit and can pick them off on smaller boards, but most set waves go unridden. On something decent, you could just about pick any wave that you wanted Steve

Can I see some footage of someone riding a 20' faced wave on a McCoy?
Seems incredible you could get through any whitewater on one.

the whole point is to use paddle power to get out of the way of the sets and actually catch them.

If you're duckdiving in ten foot surf or bigger you've made a mistake.

Of course. You can't duck dive a board used to surf those type of waves. Couldn't duck dive 10-15 ft wave with a 7ft step up, to much power.

man these early winds and early morning low tides are really killing my buzz.

there were a few 3-footers with a bit of water behind them this morning ... but the winds and the low tide turned it all into smegma

Godamnit. Everytime I've gone there I've been totally skunked. Looks like such a mad set up.

Woonona has been picking up all available NE swell as usual, with minimal crowds (at least at 7.30 am)!?

I'm attributing it to hangovers or something.

There was some adjustment. The board is for big stuff - so i don't ride it unless it's big usually, but it was lined up and running quick. The board was good, but i could feel the length working against me. 5'8 and it would have been on!

The hull was insane. Such a different feel.
Who made the hull?

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Just saw Jamie Mitchell's waves from Nazere. 35-40 ft. He used the word "survival" in his victory speech.
