Not really David, I am still the same weight. (about 92 kg of xmas pie)
I have been riding an 8'3" x 30" for about a year now. Started off ok on glassy days to pretty painfull in the wind or chop, i could hardly even stand on it to start with. Then it seems to get easiler over time. I still fall in randomly for no reason but pretty much find my way onto waves no worries. Have even found I can ride it in onshore conditions now so its time for a new stick. I have an 8'8" x 29" pin tail that I ride in bigger stuff also. Its all relative to how hard you want to make it but its so much better surfin a smaller board. Oliver might fire up about this discussion again but its the way it is, smaller the better. Its ok to fall in....
scotty dont fire up the sleeping dragon........lol............spare us all
totally lovin the extreme styled banana nose rocker mate...haha......
nice work
been riding a 8'4" 29 and a bit for a while now bumpt it up to a 8'10" 30 cant believe how much difference its made stoped missing waves average conditions ok performace on a wave is as good or better.gets to a stage when smaller isnt always best?
but if your riding 1/2 ft dribble like scotty
the shorter the better to fit in the wave transition...............lol..............
haha sorry scotty sad but true
haha.............lol.................
noel
yer sad that the swell has been a non event lately
bring on some cyclone action..............huey..........................
rock on
yer dogman, small board, small waves...... 4 foot or less.
4 foot and up and I am on 8'8".
Yer not sure much under 8 foot really works well.
nice to get out there in the northerlies
great kiting conditions
cant find crew to do big sup down winders here
getting a bit lonely doing it solo
the good old "jaws" sound track is getting to me cant get it out of my head 3D surround sound.............lol.......................
we are lucky here can usually find some one to do a byron lennox run usually see a grey suit or two though
#hey each to there own.........
I am not on here to tell others whats the go, make you own minds up.
I am full steam ahead on my wave, I stop for a small look sometimes but I push on regardless, in my own little world, you all get your own gig.....
Ride what makes you happy, good luck to you all...........even red bucket head
yer tryin to work on a few crew to tag along
i here ballina skate park crew are getting thick as
think its called missinghams
the disease is rampid
At 105kg and on 9 6 and 9 9 boards ok have ridden 9 2 as well I would have thought 8 6 would have been easy at 77kg.
Rick Jackovick slays it on a 8 footer at north point cowaramup.
I think the smaller boards need to be narrow to work well like the naish 8 footer which is sub 27??? I think.
My 2 cents
thanks scotty
rock on
and long live the bucket
cant wait to pull up a bar stool next to you some time soon
even if you drink that yanky white can rubbish
get aussie dude and get some sugar cane up ya op style bitch
