The swell dropped today but right now its fired up again.
did you get out there for a late arvo session to avoid the crowds 
did the fireball handle it
Had a blast this morning riding my 8' modern blackhawk at Alex corner.
Got in an early few on my McNeill CV2 before the longboard club fired up their contest at the Bluff.
Felt a bit strange walking down to surf 4'ers at the corner with it but I figured I might as well wash the dust off it.
Just sat out from the pack on the point and waited for bigger ones.
The board is an absolute pleasure to surf.
It has the early glide in but with its pointier nose with just enough rocker it takes drops like they are nothing.
Turns so well for a big board and its so much fun having a nice long rail in a board that goes fast as well.
Completely different to surf than a longboard planshape and its not stiff like a gun even though it looks like one.
I reckon every longboarder who chooses to ride a longboard based on thinking they are past shortboards would love one of these if they tried one.
Too bad they stopped making them.

Better grab then in the local. I have looked at it a bunch and thought it looked like an awesome board. Except I have the eight foot semi-gun and a missus to hide the money from...
Is it one too many? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Apparently the story goes the shaper who shaped the originals for the file is a very well respected older shaper.
Will dig further to find out who?

That is crazy. Id say if that happened at any of the spots i surf, the dropper in would get a shove in the back. Its like the surfers their are just accepting it To be far, they have just done it to someone also so i guess they are just coping it back in return..
The inside section looked the most fun

Looked like the bank survived the swell?
Will it be alright for the comp?
The banks are good to go SP,like there was no big swell remarkable really.
Now you've got to feel for the organisers,they put the comp back by a week because last year it was dead flat and a swell arrived a week later,if they had of kept with the original dates the first week of the comp would of had the whole week of pumping conditions and the comp would have been finished in 7 days. Cant win I hope they get some swell for the comp, I'll be in Bali

I got told it was Al Merrick. Looks a bit beefy for a Meerick to me, but maybe it was just one of his niche boards and, like many shapers, he can do a variety of different shapes well. I am simply basing my comment on his 5-not enoughs and 6-still not enough rack boards in every surf shop that are the volume sellers.

Looks like fun - NOT!
I'm very grateful a drop in is incredibly rare here and if it does occur people get off the wave.
I guess with that occurring to you you just have to do it to another poor sucker this perpetuating the rudeness.
For the most part that hasn't been my experience out there, but maybe I have been lucky.
Or maybe the mad dog Sandgroper eyes scare them...roooaaarrrr!
