Surfing (1 Viewer)

[lolzieee]

dunno if there's been a thread about it yet.... anyway...
do you surf? What sort of board? When did you start? What beaches etc etc....

I surf on a 6ft2 fiberglass pointy nose board (it probably has some technical name i'm not aware of ), and i started surfing on those foam boards (go the foamies!) when i was 6. Got the fiberglass when i was about 11, but i've only just recently become any good (yay i learnt to stand without kneeling first !)

 

[um..]

ahah good old pointy nose boards are always good. i ride a 6'3 for normal stuff, a 6'0 fish for when its small and have a 6'10 that a ride when its very big, which is not often. and i surf at the beach with the water, in the water.

do you represent? or is this just a hobby?

 

[um..]

newy represent, haha
i used to be in a club called east end boardriders, but they're now defunct. and when i was younger i did a few junior contests around here, but nothing ever special.

Yeah I surf...
I surf a 6'3 as well. But when in Byron its small i just go mal'ing with my dad or borrow my mates single fin. Its the funnest but they are real hard and sharp for some reason.....hehe

yep i got a tip...bodyboard dont surf... its way more fun and you can surf heavier waves than standups can... and its not mainstream so youll be an individual!
