Breaking News .....

Godfather HQ in Banora has just released a Press statement - the Newy is delivered ......



I had a go on a friends board that looks very similar to this right down to the colours & it was very HP yet can still be nose ridden as demonstrated by my friend...I loved the maneuverability, we will see a lot more of these boards floating around. Guarenteed, they are bloody good

If you're down Mona Vale way, it probably would not hurt to pop in for a look, because Seb runs the board shop and there's an interconnecting door to the Cafe that his missus, Teresa, runs, and her coffee is not bad.

Plus they always keep a few vintage boards mounted on the walls of the cafe.

Heads up there is 2 days left for the 50% off Joyo's G-land Surf Camp promotion.

http://g-land.com/promo-surf-camp-indonesia-2017/

Bloody great deal but after much consideration I've decided I want some right hand barrels & thinking Nias, Bay of Plenty or Simeulue...going some time, 2017 3rd Quarter. Missus is going to see her fave band in Japan, so I have like 7 days of freedom before meeting her in Bali. Might opt to just stay in Bali if swells big for simplicity of options, gonna be a last minute wait & see what the swells doing. Really need head high to triple head right hand barrels

Triple head high over coral is far far different to triple head high over nice kelp covered limestone ledges. CHAAARRRRRGGGGEE!!!!!!

The waves may not be as thick but man, coral scares me at times. Of course that just may be because of my experiences up north (never having been to Indo).

Yeah 18 foot face Mac which is generally about my max size these days & I usually get it a few times a year. Pretty common for where Drip surfs.

But there is usually a big difference between West Oz & Indo triple overhead. Indo will be glassy or pretty clean, while West Oz is rarely glassy at that size & what we consider to be pretty clean will still have lumps & bumps.

The Margs Mainbreak (not suicides) right hander at triple overhead often gets this cross ridge at a certain section of the reef I used to try & time my cutback on back in the 90's when I surfed there a lot. Typical of West Oz waves, there isn't these thin lipped barreling point break you find elsewhere. There's a lot of off shore raw ocean swell with swells coming from different angles & speeds causing double ups.

As a result I find it much easier to surf bigger waves in Indo than WA. I can take out a shorter board & epoxy boards don't chatter the way they do in non glassy conditions. There is less chance of throwing you off guard with some random lump or bump at an inconvenient moment or waves tending to be more shifty than a clean regular swell.

Hey Drip your well & truly due mate. Just gotta keep an eye on the tides more than West Oz coz they shift a lot more than the SW. I'm going 3rd School holidays & would be happy to show you some waves in Bali. I will be there for at least 19 days You'd love it

I like the recent movement to talk about face size. There's waves down here where The Boys - because they are heroes of understatement - call triple head high four foot. Then at other waves triple head high is a solid six. Then others where triple head high is six to eight. It confuses me. ??

Actually, now I think about it, the called size increases the further north from Margies you go. My favourite Bombie - 4'; Bears - 6-8'.

lol Mac...it needs to be a reef break breaking in a relatively uniform fashion. Wouldn't get me out in a shifty beachie at that size.

Just makes sense to judge waves by the front to describe them along with words like fat, sucky, dredging, crumbly, heavy or not much push. Waves like Teahupoo wouldn't have much back on them compared to the front, a 3 foot back would be 15 to 18 foot in the front of absolute hell dredging & you would not get me out to places like that or Pipeline. Crowds in serious waves scare the fark out of me. Even at my local I sit really deep a lot of the time & some people think its for priority which is not true as sitting across about 30m is the best place to sit for frequency. I just like to sit away from the pack. I do it anywhere I surf if possible...
