Hey guys n gals flying over from the west for a wedding and quickish road trip for 4-5 days. Would be great to check out some local spots for kiting and surfing. As we're time constrained won't be able to explore too much so any info would be great. PM me if you want to keep spot location on the lowdown.
Also looking at buying a board in the Gold Coast, can anyone recommend a good retailer? I'm looking for 7'2 or 7'4 mini mal with a bit of volume probably an epoxy
Cheers
Mark
No good retailers on the gold coast
Check out Board Culture they sell those plastic things
Just ask for mac's rates and save yourself some money
Billboard has an awesome 8 foot newish for sale PM him,I
believe its going at a good price
As far as waves go,no secrets in Qld,Noosa points (all of them )
Super Bank and The Pass.yes I love mt point breaks couldn't be
bothered surfing junk like asea
Hi Mark - for epoxy boards on the Goldy would suggest you contact/visit:
Board Culture - gold coast hwy, Mermaid beach, (speak to Mark) and
Surf Fx - ferry rd, Southport. (speak to Ian or Michael)
both excellent, honest retailers with good range of stock.
Cheers Mac & Billboard i'm in contact with Mark from board culture now.
Ted, thanks for the advice i'll be up early no doubt and hopefully staying close to the breaks as we've hired a campervan
How's the water this time of year, will a half wetty cut the mustard?
I wear a rashie so the skinny guys don't get a complex about my abs.I'd wear a Makaha mask if I could find one because I'm so good lookingDid I mention I'm
a great surfer too boot,god life must suck being you
I actually wore a springy this morning to protect me from the beating that asea and his cronies were threatening to give me if I didn't f-off and take my sup with me
It was actually very handy to protect from serious sand rash in the shorey - way tooooooo much fun
Did that Chrispy dude show up and rip the place a part
According to asea he is the best surfer on this forum
bah me of courseand they say to ones that talk themselves
up are the worst
^^^^^hahaha too funny bb. mac didnt go,bit worse for wear and had a couple of things to take care of. asea is full of crap mac..im the biggest kook on this forum. will be out tomoz though. you are right bb,the nsp goes unreal
Stop it,Chrispy you couldn't /didn't trade a mct for an NSP,if so I know a good doctor.
Asea,is very trustworthy and has never lead me the wrong way to date so it stands your a ripper mate.
BB,I think Chrispy has a bloody good nose on him,so maybe he smelt a sup from afar.
I surf underneath the radar when on a sup in a shortboard zone so even the chrispy critter wouldn't know I was there
nice peelers today, BB was catching everything that came along,mind you he did stay 50metres from me which was nice of him to leave me alone.Chrispy did not turn up BB ,he would have had a ball on the 8ball.Any way after 2hrs of fun peelers totally rapt ready for happy hour.
Stop showing off. We have not had a decent wave down this way for over a week. I hate this time of the year.
Its not epic here by any means but this morning we scored waist high left and right punchy little peelers for a couple of hours and the best part : - only a 20mtr paddle out - now that's what I like
Anyone got any experience with Takayama's? I came across a tuflite 7' 22" 2 7/8" round nose. I'm Comparing that to an MR similar dimensions point nose though
Cheers
What I meant to say is, glad to hear your thoughts on the scorpion, I want one.
Unfortunately or furtunately depending on how you look at it, the missus and I are saving our pennies for a trip to Europe in May, so a new board is not going to happen soon , but the scorpion seems to be the way to go.
