thanks a lot Headwax.
Any thoughts on entry rocker? The blank that I have (Broken longboard :P) probably won't let me have a big rocker so anything to counter that? I'm thinking of take offs

Any ideas for a shorter board for very hard pitching waves?

Hey all. I've been kneeboarding for about 2yrs now and ride boards ranging from 5'10" to 5'7". No flippers anymore I remember how easy it was to take off very late when I used to bodyboard and want to incorporate that(flippers) into making a short board for a very powerful (but not big), r...

I have never met Shannon. In fact this is the first time I'm hearing of him. But seeing all the posts its obvious that he was a good guy loved by a lot of people.

Its sad to hear of someone about my age dying and also a family man.
My sincere condolences to family and friends

Rest in peace Shannon

Ya, Jan Juc, Victoria, OzZ-traliya Well this surfer was on an epoxy 3 fin "Dicko shapes" (the board he gave me) but he was riding it without the center fin. Then he tore the leash plug out and later came out on a Green quad (Parkes, i think) And he was ripping. On one wave I saw him bottom...

Its probably naive to think that resort owners are going to listen to a bunch of local surfers to open their surf breaks to everyone... locals and travelers. But I think it might be possible to convince them (government) to keep Thamburudhoo (Sultans and Honkys) open for everyone. If enough wave rid...

Hey guys If you want to surf sultans/Honkies come soon. They're selling it to some business with a fat wallet, to make a resort. Which means? Exclusive only to paying guests who stay on that island (Local name: Thamburudhoo). Guess how many waves there'll be left to surf in Nth Male atoll in a coupl...

Thanks guys

I surfed it in 2 foot waves yesterday. It went fast and very loose.
