Retreat...




Getting a little frustrated with my surfing at the moment.
trying so many different boards is just pushing back to square one each time I take anothery out as they are all so different in shape and volume etc.
So. I have made a pretty standard shorty / fishy everyday board to try and get the rhythm back (I'm sure I had it once before!)..
So unless its under chest high, This will be the board I persist with.

For now. (smile)

5'10" x 19 1/2 x 2.4 flattish rocker, no flips or fancy bits, light single to double and nose to tail edge (fingers crossed)...

Oh and Zeke picked orange this time.

Confused...



Well. Been trying out the new 5'9'' boat I just made.
LOTS of foam. Lots of edge. single to double, deepish concave,
Down rails. Flat deck.Flat rocker.
Should be a rocket, right?
Hmmmmm....doesn't feel like it. (setup as standard thruster)
Tried a couple of different sets of fins. No love.

Then plonked the Twin / trailer setup in it and off she goes!!

Don't boards just look pooh when they get waxed up and stomped on?!
