....and, I thought my gut looked better in this wetsuit too - lack of light maybe helped a bit too.

Were you wearing a legrope ?

Bahahahaha

God your lives must be so tragic that you hang around a SUP forum when you don't ride them.

I hadn't looked at the legrope post, doesn't interest me what others do with regard to using them and it's up to me whether I wear one or not but seriously, you and the others go back to your LB or SB forum and don't hijack posts that mean something to someone.....actually add to the forums rather than hating on them. Very sad.

Hasn't Laurie already told you not to hijack ?

Nope..

Makaha said...

WTF,your one angry dude,relax take a break and get TFO it.


Awesome surfing mate way to go dude looks cold are you in australia?
tip, your deck grip needs to go back towards the tail.

Thanks scoop.

The deck has star touch grip top to bottom so the grip is placed just fine thanks.

Am I in Australia ? Last time I looked NSW was in Australia yes.

Oh, Dog your still here.

Of course you are.

Get a life....or go surf / learn to sup instead of leaning over a keyboard ALL day.

Thanks for the heads up!!

Bit rough on the puppy there animal...and no one's even mentioned your blatant 'pimping'?

Great vid btw, being new to sup in the waves, I went out in unfamiliar territory yesterday arvo & 'nearly' caught a wave...by the time I paddled about 500m out to the point (107kgs on a 9'6" x 30" board), I was knackered and was struggling to stand.

Thanks. Bit of history with that dawg character.

Keep it up and you will be ripping in no time....not like me just plodding.

Pimping huh ? Hmmm, not likely....I'm the board slut, ride em all...this month Whopper. My Mana gets a go tmrw.

Is that true Doggie ? You don't ride a Sup ?
Tell me Supanimal is just gee-ing you up a bit.
Why would you be on this forum if you don't sup ?
I wouldn't think about jumping on a windsurfing, kite surfing or even the sailing forum. Reason being cause I don't do them.
Are you mates with that Legion who is in the sin bin ? I see a pattern.

Nice vid Chris. Just edited my 1st vid of SUPing in Fiji - just got to add some music. It's a
good learning curve.

yea gotta love the carbon whopper, gr8 board for us fat blokes or should that be REAL men

supanimal said...

Yep, I'm in the 'real men' category.

The waves yesterday were fun but it was sucky and I'd consider it pretty bumpy....certainly not glassy epic conditions.

The Whopper dealt with the cross currents and bump amazingly well and in the whole session, I did not fall off while waiting around between sets once which is damn good for me as I'm no pro.

I surfed this spot a few times on the 11' Laird (Ron House) last year a few times in similar conditions and could not get a handle on it at all (I think it was about 29 wide) and yes, being so wide you lose down the line speed and it might be an under performer for a lot of guys but for getting into some surf and 'riding' waves rather than just trying to retain an upright position, it really is a seriously impressive board.

It becomes a confidence thing and a board like the Whopper for the 100kg plus set get's you out there and enjoying it rather than worrying about all the variables....and that's the whole point isn't it ?

Whopper rocks - and the Carbon is super impressive IMO.

Good on you for posting chris!
You look like a bloke who knows how to live life well!

And you make this forum more interesting....

doggie said...

So funny

I reckon deep down you are hanging to try Sup. I am guessing your mates only ride SB and they would bag the crap out of you if you took up Sup. Come out of the Sup closet Doggie.
It's a load of fun.

Cheers Scotty
