    Anyone ridden a MOTE Fiji?

    Still loving my 6'6. Especially here when the water is moving around and the banks are further out.

    My Bottom Feeder which this is replacing uses Powerbase XL Fronts and L Rears. For stubby thrusters Merrick fins are my go to.

    Black Friday 2022

    I just ordered a Performance Glider from HS based on a glimpse I saw of an instagram clip. Im hoping it will finally replace my old Bottom Feeder at the exact same dimensions (-.5 inch width).

    First surf on Utopia. Decent HH conditions on a little rip bowl. Paddles well and catches waves easily enough. Got one nice wave on my backhand and it felt fast and solid. Got a nice wrap in there. Got a few closeouts and bigger ones that ran off. Once nice one on my forehand at the end. Feels...

    Ended up with a DHD Utopia. Gave me a stiffy when I felt it up.

    Sharpeye Surfboards

    I rode a custom stretched out modern 2 I took a punt on second hand for 2 surfs then got rid of it. Thing was terrible for me.

    First surf since ear tube surgery. Wore the surfears, hope they keep water out and infections away. Put on a bit of weight in the last 6 months, luckily all muscle - I joined a CrossFit gym while on surfing hiatus. Waves were HH, clean but banks were pretty terrible with an outside section...

    Ear plugged

    Anyone here had ear tubes inserted (grommets)? I recently got them put in one ear. Hoping surfears keeps the water out and stops infections but would love to hear if someone has managed it.

    Stubby Shortboard

    Went and felt a few boards up. Ghost and Inferno didn't do a great deal for me. Ended up really liking the feeling of the Little Wing I fondled from Lost. Also loved a little Synthetic 84 from T.Patterson I picked up but can't find much info on it.

    Stubby Shortboard

    I have been tempted in the past but I never see anyone on them over here and have no idea who he’s got shaping for him out here, what that arrangement is, where they source the blanks, etc. I would rather wait until I go over to the states next year. I have planned on getting a Stamps and a...

    Sweet that’s some good feedback. I’m on east coast OZ so Stamps and Stretch and some of the US shapers are out of the equation. doesn’t sound like I can go wrong with any of them. It’s probably more like waste high + anyway I’m after, sometimes we get really punchy little swells which are fun...

    Would totally get a Stamps if I could. When I come over that way next year I might put in an order. DHD Utopia on the radar now too.

    Stubby Shortboard

    Time for me to get a new board. Looking to go back to a stubby-ish HPSB for knee to slightly OH waves. I want it to sit above my twin for days when its a little steeper/faster, there's the odd small HH barrel on offer or its a bit choppy and bigger and you've got to navigate it to get that one...

    Album Surfboards

    Had a pretty disappointing experience with Album Australia on the latest custom. Was told by their instagram to put the order through, pay for it and then when it was up to be shaped they'd get in touch to dial in my custom dimensions request. All good. Got an email despite putting a note on...

    Been a few good runs of waves here, especially for Spring. Had a few great sessions on the Fiji in slightly overhead waves a few weeks ago. Really felt like the board came alive in the better waves, it really loves a highline to long deep bottom turn but will admit it isn't super radical off the...

    Been getting a few waves. Had a few nice days last week, including one session on the MOTE where I caught 27 waves. The day after I took out the Mini Pip and while I enjoyed the speed and manoeuvrability it was crazy how much harder it was to get into waves. Was shoulder high sets on a bank...

    ***Official 2021 Community Surf Journal***

    Today was better than yesterday. New swell direction seemed to adhere to the banks available a lot better and was way more consistent. The trick was to pick the right ones as there was still a few bigger straight ones coming from the East. Took the Fiji out and finally got a few nice carves in...
