^^^ to LL I know what you saying.
parants should tell little girls to act like little girls. They will get plenty of time for acting like an Adults ,


another cool surf today. I Was watching a bloke on a 666 today absolutely smashing it,the wife said he never fell in the water once In two hours.
it looked like Pat Eastwood I could be wrong.
god my wife is the best ,she's been getting up at five making a coffee getting everything ready taking the dog walking alone the beach while I have a surf.

now the birthday boy is off to Parrilla for a South American feast.

I Had ad a great day surfing today and glad I could share it with you.

Thanks Ted,
I know you're running the AM2 thruster set (if memory serves) so I reckon you could get a bit more hold by running it as a quad with some rakey rears when its pushing its limits. We've had some throaty waves here lately and I've been tweaking my fins too.
You'd absolutely love the 6'6" V4 I have. Pinpoint control in juicey waves and in the tube. It would be an excellent Indo board with its size range listed as 4-10' as opposed to the nano's 2-6'.

I have been looking at one of these for Indo as my 6'6" Unibrow gets a bit sketchy at around double head +

Can you give some feed back Cuttlefish comparing how she paddles etc

Disappointing here grand total of 2 decent waves - southerly smashing the hell out of things

Has mick fallen of the planet pup,,,I was talking to Weiry and he said to say hello

Worth have a look at the Firewire forum in the V4 section. I have a nano which I ride most of the time in beachbreaks and got the V4 for times when the nano is in its upper limits. The nano is a 6'2" but has a little bit more volume.
To be honest I'm not used to surfing pointy nosed boards anymore and the nose trips me out a bit.
It paddles well but my takeoffs are a tad later than on the nano because the nano gets on plane earlier.
Having said that when dropping in it is ultra easy and loves a steep drop. Feels like it has pinpoint control and pulling into a barrel you're at ease.
I reckon it would be a great Indo board.
So I'll probably sell mine after just a few surfs on it because when the beachbreaks really start heaving I'd prefer to either be on something a bit longer for a more relaxed take off (not getting any younger) or be heading to my local point as the beachbreaks usually close out too often when its sizey.

I haven't seen Brother Michael for a couple of weeks mate - mind you there hasn't been much waveporn to write home about lately & he does work hospice hours ... think he was getting ready for a trip soon too

Hiya Weiry

I hadn't had a surf since not last Friday, but the Friday before. Only surfed today & was on the 666 yesterday. I was sick with a nasty summer flu, but there wasn't any surf to miss anyway. Today was really nice like Pup said, just fun size waves with very few crew out. I can cutback no prob while switchfooting on the LB now. The pristine conditions made it easy. Next steps foam rebounds

BTW nice pics Weiry, looks uber fun

Got a few little lefts today. few noserides only small though.

Just had to wet the Noserider before heading off,in knee high sliders at the G what a huge difference chopping 1/2 off the side from the old one.

edit- stalker alert

A few fun ones today. Spent the last 4 or 5 days surfing with hardly a sole. Had a few good ones

Few fun ones ???? geez mate that's overhead and some

you have to re-adjust what is normal over here Pup - its a re-scaling as such ! I find myself questioning if I should paddle out as it does not look perfect - when back home you would be frothing and jumping out of your skin to paddle out. Need to retain focus at all times
