Can't really tell but, while the main break is angular, the whole back block is cracked and stressed. Clear sign it wasn't the wave but impact with the bottom. Also got a good graze to testify how shallow it was.

SS, just saw the message. Yeah, it was real big. Just gone to bed. But all good, just stuff falling off shelves etc. Our piano moved quite a bit so that was trippy.

IB, beautiful hound. Way ahead of you- this arvo it's walkies up the hills behind home.

Nice.
One on the right looks to be a more pronounced asym? Or is that just the camera angle?

stunet's picture

stunet Monday, 4 Apr 2022 at 12:21pm

Yep, it's a 6'0" with about an inch of offset in the tail and the same in the fin block (quad, heel side pair are an inch more forward than toe side).

Board on the left is 6'4" with offset about half an inch.

Didn't ever feel a need for asymm on step ups or guns, but the last board I got from Dyl was right on the mark, so I figured I'd give it a punt, but just tone it down slightly.

Well done IB- congrats! You've made 140 husband years.

And SS, awesome for Maggie May.

If It's worth anything, I scored last night too and we went out for brekkie this morning, both in great moods.

How good is love, no matter what form it takes.

Do you guys really count the years or remember the date? Me and my long suffering love of my life have been living in sin at the holiday inn for 24 25 maybe 26 years. I really don’t know. Must be that wedding date that sticks in your mind I guess. Congrats to everyone. It’s a hell of an achievement in this day and age to stick it out

Thanks for the photo Seaslug, great job there. Re remembering the date, I have it engraved on the ring, and my wife likes to mention it every now and then. :)
Edit: So Zen, husband years = dog years, hmmmmmm interesting concept.

Daily Good News for WA, not so much for Vic

"Vegan activist Tash Peterson has vowed to leave WA once again after being banned from every pub and restaurant in the State, claiming her “freedom of speech” has been taken from her. Peterson said she was “getting the f*** out of WA” and had booked a one way ticket to Melbourne with her partner Jack Higgs.
We have a one-way ticket to Melbourne and I’m going to just going to protest over there.”

Far as I'm concerned, as soon as you get your tits and sexualise things to get attention you lose a whole lot of moral integrity.

Are you referring to womens pro surfing? The butt thong looks great but as for practical application? Even less in solid surf , maybe gets a few more points from the red blooded judges or opens up the chance for a arse shot for a shitcurl/ dicksilver add?
The backs of my legs get so fried when I surf in boardies or short leg wetty much less a butt thong (maybe thats why Lakey P,s surfing looks so jerky and she seems pissed off all the time? Fried Arse ).
