How beautiful is this !!! - really pleased with my new 6'0" SLX Superbug Quad Fish with 'Multi-Fin' FCS system making for an optional thruster fin set up. Super-light SLX construction.
I have FCS M5 and M3 fins (x7) with 2 different quad set-ups (varied rake for carving or tight turns) and a standard M5 thruster set up.
Good fun but a little bit too fat .................. ! ;-)
It was time to say a fond fairwell to my trusty 6'0 quad after many years of excellent service. She has been great to surf with and will no doubt come out of retirement as a travel board in warmer 'climes' at some point in the near future.
First day of my 40's ............ first surf ;0) 26th Aug 2011
Good clean fun at Saunton ................ nice 2 hour surf with Mark. Strange swell on this day with Croyde, Putsborough, Woolacombe / Marine Drive all tiny in the 1-2ft max range but Saunton was a really nice 2-3ft and glassy.
Been surfing for 25 years and Love It. "Surfing's more than just a sport - it's a way of life" - yep, that's some cheesy quote I once read in a surf mag but it's also pretty true. I watch films like Castaway and think - screw making a raft out of that big bit of plastic ... hasn't he spotted the perfect waves breaking just offshore. Shape a 6'5 out of the bloody thing and have some fun!! :-)
PET HATES:
People who surf because it's "COOL DUDE" etc etc -"All the gear & No idea". Yes they've got all the DVD's, Mags, Clothes, know all the Pro's names but get them in the water in anything over 2ft slop and it all becomes clear :-)
