swell is slowly showing signs of dropping but its still pumping !! Had 2 great surfs already 
Hope you all getting some.
Talk about a dropping swell Ted we had 3 to 5 yesterday,knowing it had dropped over night so took a go too board,rocked up and I should have had a big fat log on the roof,sadly I was forced to struggle on the evo 
wrong board 
Ahhh thats why I always try and have at least 2 in the car
Couple from this morning - one is for Boofy
Think I got my local at it's best on a rising tide - moon was wicked behind the clouds early .... heaps of blowins arriving as I got out so all good my end - roll on weekday freedom please 
hard luck dude
tomorrows looking sad, but i've got 3 boards too try.
my8'10 fanatic with laird quad set i brought on sat arvo. board goes good up and down but after more down the line speed especially with more sizy waves
cw hp 9'1 x 21 1/2 x 2 1/2 .north end macaha maybe . morning pick up so late morning lb surf.
firewire tomo nano 5' 10 on loan as a demo. this ones got me excited even tho i have been on a shortie for 2 years.
please huey
hey ted. its been two years.
the board felt stupidly small and i actually had trouble sitting on it.
the waves were very very bad and small.
i got a few 1 move and 2 move waves, but again terrible waves.
a very light board to surf. i think it suits me- i like to carve with long extended swoops or throwing it out there and that square tail allows you to do that. really gets some speed doing that- and comes back under your feet with little fuss- not a board to be ridden flat imo.
chunky square ish rails with sharp edges a fair way up.
coming from my background it didn't fell to corky.
however i've never been a fan of shorter boards and would probably get the 6 ft er for that extra trim/glide. again from where im coming from 6 ft is still going to be a very small board. i was kind of overpowering this board anyway and would surf with large fins rather then the med fins that i surf it with
cheers
First one in at just light .... soon enough it was absolute mayhem - glad to be out now & will be even happier when they all piss off outta here
Ahhhh - well I spoke to my little champion brother yesterday morning my time ..... he will be back online with us shortly & stay tuned believe me
Speaking of CW, a friend wants to sell his CW 9'3 x 23 x 3 shaped by Steve & gave me a go today. It was an absolute machine, paddles into anything so easy. I switch foot on the first wave & shuffled up onto the nose riding goofy. Felt so stable, but you could still throw it around. It also foam climbs into floaters so casually I fell in love with it. Unfortunately my missus told me last week after I bought a cheap nylon string guitar for $160. That if I buy one more surfboard before she gets something, she's going to break all my boards. So I can't buy one for probably 7 or 8 months. It felt perfect for me too 
Got heaps mate, catching waves all the way in & walking up the beach for an easy paddle back out. I didn't spend much time waiting for waves, exhausted after 2 & a 1/2 hours. Should be alright tomorrow I reckon, I have a dentist appointment though. So will be out about the same time as today 
very clean board to surf ted. i actually tried another 5'10 , a bit wider but same volume. the nano was much better. other board caught at or around the nose.
the new hp cw is a fair step down in size and volume in its own right. i plan to use this board a fair bit- log only on really small days.
so i see this board keeping my in touch with a shortboard and still not thatfar away from my sups- a balance for/between the collection.
however with the limited amount of shortboarding i'm most likely to do i decided the nano 6 ft er would probably be the best fit for me at this stage.
if for some reason i decided to be a full on short board nut case again and found the nano 6" to big and needed a shorter one - they get very good second hand prices.
thinking very hard about getting one- different but addictive
Goooooooooooood Morning ..... well it should be back to near normal - looking forward to dodging the Easter litter scattered everywhere this morning AND no crowds .... au revoir bastardos ......
Oh and get a Mango up you Asea .... 
Back to normal here 2-3 ft lovely clean waves with 4 out. Heaven. Might sneak out for a second session now
Geez it was flat here all I got was a full scale invasion by 16 Battalion regiment of bloody Mozzies 
time for the trackies !!
Just shared the lineup with a huge school of dolphins - they were in no hurry and played around me for about 15 mins - swimming underneath me and sharing a few waves - epic!! No one could believe it how friendly they were - with most saying "jeepers people pay to swim with these lovely creatures, how lucky are we!!!!"
What a day its been and its only 11:30am!
Had that yesterday briefly Ted .... a pod of about 6 jumping thru waves then spinning around & backflipping out again .... was wicked they were having a ball - I shat when one burst out of the wave came with me about 10 yards to my left on one set
