yes the latest forecast looking better
Haven't surfed since Sunday as the missus is heading over East tomorrow and has had me working double time. I drove down this arvo and watched for far too long without suiting up. No one out and the very very badly surfable one just couldn't enthuse me. Even when Jay Davies walked by and it made me think "contestable". But I'm not Jay and it was rubbish. Jay, on the other hand, went for a swim in boardies.
And here I am thinking of getting a new 4/3.
On the plus side, I stopped in at the local and started planning the next board. Thinking 9'6" x 3 1/4 x 22. Quad with a box so all bases are covered. Low entry rocker with a mild single into double concave and a bit of tail kick. Triple stringer. I also saw the board Shaun Pollard (the guy who lost his hand and arm in a shark attack) has had made. Awesome looking remake of his first single fin. Great spray too from Bam. I can only imagine the grumbling as he did it.
Anyway, I moped home and now I wish I could feel good for all you boys getting waves but nope...I just jealous. The weekend is looking great and I will have the kids. 
3 and a 1/4 ? tab over kill for your weight,whats the reason behind that the drip

Fark that some of my shorties are 3 inches thick and knowing where the drip surfs the more paddle power you can get the better off you'll be
Good point waves alley hollow back washy take off.
Dam bloody long boards.
Took me about 6 waves to adjust

Just like Tux said. It's a gun shape for waves that have me questioning whether or not I want to be out there. Lots of guys go as far as four inch boards here and I am not adverse to going thicker if Mark suggests it. The board itself is a long way off and I have just started email discussions about what I think I want vs what the shaper thinks I need (I am smart enough to listen to him).
I recently surfed my 8' in some solid waves (8 foot with the odd bigger set) with a mate who is an absolute charger and hits the outer reefs here at 15'+ on his 8'6". We swapped boards after the car park comparison. His board was 1 1/2 inches narrower with heaps more nose rocker. When we swapped, I was appalled at how poorly it paddled into waves. His comment was he wouldn't like to take a late drop on my board, to which I replied that his board was making him take late drops as that nose rocker was slowing him down so much. Anyway, after swapping some pm's with people and asking some advice and seeing what people here do, I am happy to begin planning and ordering some sort of gun.
It may finish up being an evolution of what I am riding already, but I have pictures in my head of something based on Simondo's boards and some Kirk Bierke boards I have seen. While up north recently I had two smoking waves where I was trying to pull super high on my 7' single fun to have enough speed before the section threw and I twice slipped out of the face. I kept control both times, but I want some sort of side fins. It may finish up being a 2 + 1 as I really like that feel, but lots of people use quads in guns and I recently enjoyed a quad for the first time. One of the mitigating things that puts me off four plugs and a box is the back end of the board is then just really busy and ugly with blank bits.
Mark is still travelling in a yacht so the board is two months away, but he can come up with a design to be pre cut and hand finished when he gets back.
Guns are all about long low entry rocker IMO this allows easy paddling and when you stand up your weight goes back which will lift the nose even more...McT G2's are an excellent example of this...
Managed to score some crackerjack offerings at first light this morning farken stoked deeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious
Thought the devil wind would come in & ruin it for me before I got some chores out of the way. Lucky to score some glassy after lunch fun waves with just a couple of clueless 666'ers sitting way too deep. Much better than expected, but I did ding my 6'0 with my knee when I almost copped a rail in the balls farking a floater. Rather ding my board than my balls anyday though lol
i just lurked around and watched. Was very straight on the low tide,it did start getting better,,,,When it did the crowd were onto it
highlight was watching who i think was you tim on his tiny 666 killing it. some nice barrels and big hacks.
i have higher hopes for tomorrow 
Cooking alley waves steep walls the odd barrel and some nice workable sections. Im done. Lots of long tides and walk arounds.
Bit of a messy morning for me .... drained a few , copped a few but hey I got wet & had a yak with some mates after
Another session .beachies.
Ended up having to myself.
Winds held off.
Ended up being a wavefest saturday.
