    Board bag for guns?

    What have you got, and what have you heard good things about? Looking for a not too heavy board bag (not a wheelie) that'll hold say an 8'6-9'0 and a maybe a ~7' board. Prolite Rhino look sensible.

    Mindbender: 2-board quiver, same model

    Cruisy solo surf this morning, so time to let the mind wander. What two boards of the same model would you pick? I came up with two options: - CC Wolverine. 6'4 and a narrower 6'10 - Pyzalien 2. 6'3 and a narrower 6'10 Edit: to mostly suit medium to long period point waves, and a bit of beach...

    Old Man Groveler

    Been surfing dreadful waves this week: small (hip to chest high max), soft, short. The polar opposite to what I usually surf, and very challenging for an old, slow kook like me. A 20yo Florida ripper would probably take it apart. Surfed my CC Wolverine, as I only brought one board, and while it...

    Surfing - how fast?

    Never had a gps watch, so didn't really have a clue how fast we actually go on a good down the line wave. Got a decent wave a few days ago, and measured the distance on gmaps, and found the replay on Surflie. 530m in 45sec = 11.8m/s = 42.4km/h = 26.5mph. Was surprised at the speed, but I was...

    Personal Locator Beacons

    Anyone of you use one? One of my my favourite spots is essentially a boat/ski wave, but I paddle it. I've got the tides dialled, I check my leash and leash string often and before every go out, and I can paddle for ages. But sh!t happens, and I'd like my wife to feel less anxious about me going...

    Long fish - but shorter?

    When your normal fish feels too short, but you don't want 7 feet of overkill, would a 6'2-6'4 make sense? I rode my 5'10 Pyzel Astro Twin yesterday, and it was my first surf in months on a sub 6 board. Felt great at times, but ridiculously loose too, and the reality is that I have grown to like...

    Christenson OP4

    If I were in the market for a good-wave board, this would be top of the list. Sexy as hell. https://www.onboardstore.com.au/surfboards/15709/chris-christenson/op4 Some languid ripping from Oscar Langburne on one:

    6'9 Ray Finlay Stepup

    The joys of ordering a board locally. Had a great chat with Ray about what I was after, and he's seen me surf so knows how good I am not. Made a cash downpayment, and 2 weeks later my phone beeped: "Ya board's ready!" Stopped on my way back from the arvo surf and picked it up. More cash...

    Noa and Mason at Rocky Point

    As an antidote to the El Porto grovel party, here's some proper surfing in good waves. Power surfing, economy of movement, no flapping.

    https://www.pyzelsurfboards.com/index.php?page=surfboard-details&id=16309 Someone will want to know more, or pull a swift semi-yolo, so we might as well start consolidating info in a dedicated thread. The Ghost thread has some pics and posts, but let's leave that one in peace. Has any of you...

    Gun coffin bag?

    Some advice, please. I'd like to be able to travel with an 8'6 and maybe a 7'0. Are there sleeker coffin bags for guns, or do I just get a double 9ft longboard bag? Suggestions appreciated.

    Dylanshapes Chumbo Flat Deck

    Anyone try one? Keen to give a 7'6 a go, and there's a gorgeous one available in NZ for a song. Here's a longer one:

    Best twinnie surfing...

    Best twin fin surfing I've ever seen live was a few days ago on one of these. The guy RIPPED in waves that were far too good for a small twinnie.
