Near the boat Harbour? Surfed there alone many times during big easterly swells.

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 that little beach inside the Breakwall on the Southside.

Re: Midlengths
On big easterly swells you would get waves down pretty much opposite the RSL.
Big sandbar in the middle of the river.

Re: Midlengths
I must say Trev I was usually looking elsewhere when big easterly swells were rolling into that neck of the woods. So, missed seeing it ever break.

Out of control everywhere and northerly winds.

Re: Midlengths
Anyone got experience with a Joel Fitz Sea Gypsy?

Re: Midlengths
No. But some punter I was chatting to in the surf reckons his was pretty good. The only possible issue is Joel Fitz can ride a door so watching him surf his own craft might be a bit misleading.
Re: Midlengths
No, but it certainly looks good. Plus it can almost be a thruster or a single.

Re: Midlengths
Yeah, nice all rounder... my current midlength is feeling a bit flat so might be due an upgrade. Joel's prices seem reasonable for that kind of board.
Would prob go a single with side bites Cranked...

Re: Midlengths
But I do like the possibility of putting two small thruster fins as sides, and a 6" centre all the way back

Re: Midlengths
I have a similar style of board, and my advice is to Gona little shorter than recommended.
You will probably be tempted to go longer and have it as a pseudo-mal, but they have too much rocker to compete and are way more manoeuvrable than you'd think.
The width makes for a very forgiving platform for floaters and foam bounces too.

Re: Midlengths
Doesn't look like too much rocker Boo...
Was thinking 6’10 or 7ft, kind of a sweet spot for me, plenty of glide and flow but can still move it around.

Re: Midlengths
If it has a big V starting early with a decent rail could be good. If the rails to knifey and it’s subtle double to single might not go great.
Re: Midlengths
Too much for a mini-mal, loof

Re: Midlengths
I know where there' 2 x 6'10" Sea gypsies that have only been ridden 2 or 3 times. One is a 2+1 and the other a thruster. Both in stock 6'10" dims I believe.
Look on gumtree. They are both at Alexandra headland Beachbeat surfshop.

Re: Midlengths
The one I linked belongs to one of the staff I've known for decades. He has a 6'4" he loves in the stock dims (surfs it well and looks good underfoot) he was curious how a 6'10" would go but found the 6'10" without dropping the stock litreages was too much foam for his liking.
