4ft with a lot of push. some nice bombs coming through. scored a few smokers. then i paddled for what could be easily wave of the day......and then it happened, a bloke i surf with,well his mate has panicked while i was taking off. so instead of moving inside me and duckdiving the wave. he sat there like a dear in the headlights,ive had to turn the board while pooping up not kill him....in that time he has bailed his board and his fin has almost gone through my whole board,from deck to bottom.
then while on the sand bank with the next set about to hit us he is wanting to work out how to untangle the boards,i just undid my leggie and dived to the side before the next one ****ed us. got my board paddled in endinfg what would have been the third day of great waves.
calmed down all i could do was thank my lucky stars that it was not in my head.
i also know not one of us owns the ocean,but surely if your not confident out there,maybe one should re think what they are doing. rant over. favorite board now dinged so the love affair will have to wait

more glad it was the board. when i saw how wedged the fin was,well when i was on the beach i just thought thank fark it was not me. it should never of happened though. i do now know after the last few days,she is a art to duckdive,but loves a late drop and is better in the tube than i am i love my mid long
Never farken pup.....but mac,yep I'm lucky. Just notice where all the wax has been stripped from where his leggie wrapped my board.
Geez Chrispy. That's a bummer. Glad your ok though
i feel like a cry baby now i think my point was more,that if your in surf that your not comfortable in/out of your depth in a big way. well why the fark would you do it?
he should not have been out there,and as i have said i dont own the ocean...BUT.

poor bloke. all he wanted to do was test himself and a flying chip crashes on top of him
sorry about the board tho
Chrispy if it only the deck you won't notice the repair once finished they do some amazing colour matching now days.
I hope that makes you feel better,did you say he was mate or a guy you see out often.
i feel like a cry baby now
Don't sweat it bro - but your wife has been telling me that for a years now
In all reality the good news is
1. You were not hurt
2. Its only a board
3. the other bloke was not hurt
4. it can be fixed as Mac says
5. you have another 25 SDR boards to choose from when you go for a surf tom
6. might be a good excuse to justify another board purchase
Hang loose and stay safe.

and yeah , at least your board got hit.
i got hit and im out for 5 days , so you've got it pretty good you big cry baby
Some fun waves this morning. When i got to the national park entrance at 5:10am the gate was locked and the bloke could not open it - so I just grabbed my board and ran in. Good job as this kept the crowds down. Gate was still closed when I came back out. Weird thing going for a 20 min run before hitting the surf - my legs were on fire right from the get go. Felt really loose. Surf was a playful 2 ft with a few bigger ones. Although the Nano does not like the knee high stuff once they get to waist and above it really starts coming in to its own - esp with the new fin set up. Really liking the Nano now.

Yeah that wind dropping was a nice surprise.
Got a few fun ones before the crowd descended at 8am. Got Very crowded, very quickly.
Yes SP - it was amazing to have a surf without a northerly wind ! Still not even a breath on the lake in front of home. Might have to go back for round 2.
