I love that style of surfing.

Thanks for posting.

That is an awesome link Simo, cheers you are still a grommet

Those 70's single fins were fantastic (I've never ridden a "bonzer"!!)......if anyone saw "Pipeline 40" on Sunday (Channel 9) there was Lopez at the Pipe.....the "Pipe Master"......single fin & killing it......

Great waves here too. This is the second movie on the link above. Freakin nice rights.... I love rights.... I might hunt down a Bonzer.... Either Campbell Brothers, or Billy Hamilton..... Billy is technically closer in Kauai!



Excuse "the bum" !! I see a bum on the still shot anyway!!

My Personal Post "1111" wasn't wasted on The Bonzer !!

Now 1112....

Mac & Doggie,

I put those FG5 Fins (inside foil, extra toe in) into the Yellow/Orange 7'10 Dream Machine by Bob McT.... Worked way better than I thought it would!! I was nearing the point of whacking them (FG5's) on eBay. They are a good fin, but I never loved them. But I might have found a semi-permanent home for them on head high waves. Overhead+ I would always swap them for AM's, GAM / Al Merrick Template.

Anyway, the alignments between Front FG5's & GXQ Rears didn't look perfect. But in reality, I accidently stumbled upon the stagger alignment of the 4 front bonzer fins!

And I've been loving the Combo so much, it inspired this post!!

Mac,

Whiskey make you frisky
Brandy makes you randy
Rum makes you...... Fight !!

If you won't fight on rum, you won't fight on anything!!

Actually, from the famous Aussie Movie...
Rum makes you come...

Now 1115 Ive been using the GXQs on my quad and I like em

Hey Doggie,
The SB forum is usually dead isn't ?? Besides, most of those guys only think about Thrusters. Their quiver collection can be as follows;

5'10 x 18 x 2"1/4
5'11 x 18"1/4 x 2"1/4
etc
StepUp Gun 6'6 x 18"1/4 x 2"3/8
Big Gun 6'9

Step it up to my Dream Machine....
7'10 x 21 x 3 (Bobby lied, it measures 21 not 21"1/2). Wave count goes through the roof. Get wide ones, take off early deep, or even scratch into a couple inside ones.

Na not dead just in limbo sumtimes, it does have it's moments. Not much banter unless thommo or kernsey get involved

At least it's not full of dribblers like in the SUP forum

Well yes there is dribble BUT, in the other room its conceded unfunny dribble. I like the dribble here, its funny and nobody gets upset

I want one (just quietly)

I could have guessed that cRaZy you would need a bloody aircraft carrier

6'9" x something

There's a pretty cool shop in Manly these days called 6oz Board Store (www.surfnation.com.au) I have a hard time containing the drool when I go in there.

A large Zed Biscuit would be pretty cool - yes I know I have a problem, atleast it's not Drugs.....

I frequent that site a bit, although not lately. I love colour in the resin mmmm resin

Yea, drugs are baaad

And join the masses?? Dont really enjoy shortboard thrusters

I would not mind a single finned shorty with little biteys at all.

Thats it, Im on a mission to get one now!

That first lot of footage was unreal. That guy surfs that board really well.

Im geting a 6,3 single fin made up this year, but Im not that interested in the bonza style at all.

Pin tail or a wide Diamond or Bat tail?

Have a look at the Blue Bird on McT's site
