That is a fucking awesome looking yard Andre.
The board looks nice too.
Thanks mate thats the view out of my computer window too.
Picked it up today.Took those shots just about 15 miniutes ago.
Surfs little and choppy so im not going to spoil the first feel of it.
I have to practice patience now for at least 4 days.
Andre that looks awesome! Managed to take it out yet? Or do you have to wait till your birthday?
PS. I am rather envious of you right now ;D
It looks like a beautiful yard man.Quote:

I've never tried surfing, but I really want to, there are a few good places around here (well, within a 100-200km) but I've never tried it. I also want to give kite-surfing a go.
Yeah sorry bro,but ya gotta show.;)Quote:

Exactly, you wouldn't want to ruin the first wave on whitewash now would you. Hopefully you get some nice swell near you soon.
ARGH.....:o,And a Tri fin ta boot.Very nice Andre,nice graphics.Awesome one.Must see footage on the maiden voyage.Lucky chief.Your at the peak season of many swells now huh ?
my only quesiton is , you will likely freeze to death , as the waters in Melbourne are cold as hell ;D
is it an ICE BOARD ?
Yeah its usually good mate but its turned back like winter again .we had 33 the other day, whats that 96 and now we had 10 on saturday thats 50 !
Watch the flu hit hard now! Winds are fukked for me until next week,this is going to hurt if i think about it :cool:
Like a choclate cake in the fridge that you cant have.
we got rubber high tech stuff mate hats ,boots too if we need them.Quote:

Take the pain on that one ,great board.Suit up and find the chop Andre :fight:
I wasn't invited to this party, but am crashing it anyway. Nice board dude! :cool:
Have never surfed either but would love to try it one day. Have snowboarded behind a machine on a ski rope, and down a mountain. That count for anything? No? Didn't think so.
You lucky ocean dwelling buggers. Enjoy that ride my friend. :)
Right on Andre:cool: You bad motherf#cker:woot22:
i tried surfing and it is hard as fuk to me. u gotta have perfect balance to surf. the longest i stood on the surf board was 3 seconds and then i fell.Quote:

Man even in the height of summer, as AI said, Melbourne waters are still incredibly cold.. But any regular surfer would be used to that... I can't stand it..Quote:

It only the wind direction mate that all we care about.colds nothing Ive snow skied one day,surfed the next day,two hours away from where the snows falling.:cool:
Its a thing Ive never fancied, I hate the idea of being in the water with a Great White Thing. Fuck That. ;D
Ahh it explains why you climb up higher! So they can't jump out and snatch you off a rock. ;)Quote:

Andre, saw the Film Jaws and didnt have a Bath for a year. I became scared of water ;D.
That's one sweet board there... :cool:
Well the day definitely turned around. I had the heater blasting in the car all the way to work, and the air conditioner blasting the whole way home, so it would have been a glorious day for it if you managed to get down the beach.Quote:

Nah mate I went, its less than 10 min to Gunnamatta from here but was crap,wind blowing sideways real mess ,didnt go in.
Would have been nice down in the country where you were though I like it round there.
Been a few days Andre....Any ventures into the Blue beast?That baby needs to be de-flowered ;D
Yeah bro sorry, I didnt want to bore the other punters with it.I Would have let you know on a rep as soon Im allowed to re rep though.
10th wave got my first clean round pit for the day.:cool:
Took it out in 4 feet easy waves over a reef so its like surfing a machine,same spot all the time same shape and sections all time etc.
Board is a bit a stiff but that to be expected as i've gone up in size 2 inches and thicker by 3/16 ths.
So shes an easy paddler ,can still duck dive it so I havent gone too overboard with the thickness.
Alls good mate ,thanks for asking.
I tried learning how to surf on dumpers, I had no idea. :o I ended up fighting the waves more than riding them, and came to learn what what board rash was all about. Andre's advice about keeping your hands up was a life saver too. :fight:Quote:
