Sorry MKM. But that's the best funny on here for a while. Well since your spray at Dino, anyway.
Me? Dum Dum's look good.
A bit of everything. Something to draw long sexy lines on. Some wackable sections, a barrel or two, some foam ball action as well, at least 200 metre ride, 27 degree water temp, pristine reef safely below, and a honey in the boat to hoot me on the cut out!
Not my local, that's for sure.

I have to say, I can relate to what Fong is saying about bowl sections. I remember the bowl (Racetrack) at Fairy Bower. Absolutely mind blowing.
Fortunately my current local does a pretty good impression of the Bower Racetrack on its day, esp when the swell is more from the east.
But I like long walls (hey I ride a mal, what do you expect). Throw in a few sections which you can either whack or let cover you up, depending on the tide and I'm in heaven.

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.

Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?

Got to agree on the bowl ...... reef , point or a beach break rip bowl . Next up are long point breaks with space to move and a section or two thrown in , least favourite are short crunchy beach breaks .

A-Frame beaches that break in shallow water and every wave is a barrel
Long walls with sections for big drawn out turns where rails can get buried
Ledgey waves that you drop down the face and set up for the cover up of your life
Reef passes that offer carbon copy perfection wave after wave, day after day, swell after swell
Basically i love it all and can never get enough

Long breakwalls at rivermouths, got just about everything you could want, wedgey takeoffs, kegs, walls and shoulders for carvin, then a nice section to whack as it closes out close to the beach - which is handy, because then you stroll back to the breakwall, hop in the rip and ride it straight back out to the take off point with a minimum off energy expended.

depends on the board I am riding, or the board depends on the waves really...make snse ? not really...
if I had to choose 1 type of wave, it'd be a hollow running left where you can push yourself deeper and deeper on the take offs....pics of where I grew up surfing, now surfing it with my son, Fark it makes me feel old and young at the same time....
but I have been to places where you surf one perfect tube for a week and I start wanting a wave to whack or carve

It can become a little boring after a few years
In my youth anything with grunt/mainline rush

A right-hander with a bit of grunt but a slightly fat take off so it's almost like skating into it, then bending and getting hollow so you can backdoor a tube with heaps of speed followed by a long wall for moves of your choice. Not common but these waves are out there.

the thing with bowls...is it's hard ( for me) get tubed
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
...anyone else get this
rivermouths....might not be bowly....but offer big tubes and hack, cutty sections
no ones like a short close out beachie
even if we surf them most :? ....i rate em cause your got be quick and good surf em proper
so i go ok one wave every thousand

there are a few favourites
best is a novelty wave that you get every few years, uncrowded and perfect.
a long, mellow, small, shallow runner to ride on a longboard for hundreds of metres.
the dredgy, bowly rip waves that run along the edge of a bank, so your positioning has to be perfect or you get pitched into almost dry water or you can't catch it at all.
really peaky beachbreaks at about 3 foot, which barrel from takeoff, then have a shoulder to carve back and set up to backdoor the shorebreak.
unfortunately I suck at generating speed in barrels and steep waves in general, so I prefer to be able to set up the section with lots of speed.
