Lowrider I feel it's very community spirited to give the judges a rangefinder to calibrate scoring of rides truly deserving of a near zero score. Yours was no doubt a worthy manuevere, however you may have been upstaged. Most of us will be familiar with the over the falls sitting up lip perch - &quo...

We had ten kneelos turn up on Sunday which was great and there was a bit of swell to boot (~ 1.5 m). The group settled on the beachbreaks just south of Currumundi lake. We had light offshores during the pre-contest surf after which the wind went a bit sideshore (southerly change). Thanks to Meat for...

I'll second that Splashy. The great waves we've had since Saturday have allowed if me to fine tune some high speed face plants.

Hi Meat

Thanks for the reminder, look forward to seeing you and some other kneelos there. I don't expect to set the Sunday comps on fire but I feel it's important to support the invitation extended by the Windansea Boardriders Club.

Regards

There has been some peaky 3 ft waves on the Sunshine Coast for a few days now. Nothing classic but punchy waves under cloudy and rainy skies. The swell is fairly short wavelength resulting in peaks popping up here and there which is good as it helps share the waves around. School holidays are beckon...

A slight tangent to 'ask the collector'

While on the subject of exotic boards, I thought I spotted a light blue fish with those characteristic wooden fins on top of a car driving through Kings Beach the other day. It was only the traffic and the turning circle of my magna (a prestige vehicle here in Australia) that prevented me giving cha...
