Yeah. I want to try the big one in bigger waves and the small one in bigger than its been in before posting proper ride reports and giving feedback to the shaper. At the moment I am sold on the 9'6" and the verdict is out on the 8', but I have just been surfing them no matter what and they haven't really been in what they are meant for yet.

Having said that, I had the 9'6" out this day and it went amazingly well. I was mainly going left off the peak behind this bloke though.

small ,uneven 2ft on the 9.3 ..bit of fun for a hour. I did swap boards with a mate who was on a Outer Islands 9.1 x 22.5 x 3 .... what a dream to ride ...really loose (for a mal) underfoot. Got back on my barge / dog / pig / $&^@* and realised what a bargain he bought for a 0.5K ... super sweet ride that has me wanting

Hungry town here today.
Was met with 9 blokes on the bank at first light and the hassle was as crazy as I've ever seen it.
Got 3 waves and verballed and harassed on each one resulting in me paddling to a close out bank further south.
A really crap morning in the water making me feel unusually flat today.

Geez. No good surfanimal. No fun when the hassle is there
flip side. You still got wet and waves
Me. I surfed small bank 2ft near a hill that was a Bonny idea. Had a great morning

Didn't look too good when I got down to the local this morning, not that I had a look. Fixed a couple of shortboards on the grass, left them to harden & headed out on the longboard. Got about 10 waves before a couple of young blokes came out & the ocean was recovering from its hangover & swell picked up. Got a long one 1/2 way to my car & decided to go grab a shortboard after a few hours. Ended up being a surprisingly fun 4.5 hr session. Good to see winter swells on the horizon

It's better up here pup.
Twice the size than goldie.

Just got back from a few small glassy ones around the corner,beautiful morning waters still nice

There's a nice looking 9'1 Outer Island for sale on Gumtree down Newport way the moment, Climber. (Not my board, I'm just browsing from Brisbane to Sydney these days since Mac and SP put me on to BoardRun.)

Those Supermals do look sensational. I had an Outer Island shortboard yonks ago and loved it. In fact I don't think I've met anyone who has owned a Mitchell Rae board and not thought it was great. Lots of people stick with them. It's a cult, almost as zealous as the McTavish one. The MIA legend Ted the Kiwi rates them and that's good enough for me.

look mac has me out looking like some animal. its just then you surf really crowded waves you have to get amongst it or just might as well go in. last two months have been rabid on all the points. super crowds. there are a lot times ive come back in almost no waves at the alley

so maybe, just maybe I might,just might accidently bring that along when its not so crowded.
however if ya go soft people will climb all over if they smell a weakness.

its a bit sad these days. but I do make a point of giving waves away too and yep I get my good share of drop ins too
