Whats the deal with the mount? Ive never really liked the place.
How come you never come west Roy?
Had 2 surfs at ruas and on at the beach thismorning. All clean as but soft and smallish
. I went for a dirty old swim between the flags on boxing day and went wave for wave on a boogie board with the brother in law. Was more fun than I had imagined.
Spent many years on the west coast, had my fill.
Always loved the mount and east coast beaches.

Hey Roy first things first happy new year.Now you said they were steeps ,I think not those little ripples were too small to be steep's.At least you have no leg rope and you show the waves that you had not fallen off then had to swim to get you deck,good on you .I still dont like that suit colour ,blinding on a sunny day.
P'S.dont look at the camera in your vid's ,not cool and make you look like a ego head.

yeah cause once you can get going on even the crappiest swell, you can rest easy and say "I went surfing and I am a surfer".
Had your fill of west coast... pull the other one its got bells on it.

Five years of Piha plus three years surfing Raglan full time while living 50 metres from the point, over it now prefer the east coast.
As for 'crappy swell' it's only people with crappy equipment who say that... I got a good workout and surfing choppy waves is great practice.

Because your equipment is best suited to the east coast swells of the mount.

Liking that wave
love em when they are like that

Dunno about drunk....seems they've all gone up central otago 
too hot and too far from the ocean for me !
What size is the Earl ?
Loved that little side slip on one of those waves

The earl is 10'6" by 27' and over 100 litres in volume.
I'm not sure what you mean by a sideslip do you mean the nose sipping sideways down into the pocket?

To be fair to Roy BC I would have to say that he surfed those conditions with the exact same style and grace with which he rides in premium conditions
.
Draw your own conclusions from that.

yeah open ocean swells, not waves that get verticle and barrel though. I wanna see footage, but you only have the mount crap. I rest my case.
there is something terribly wrong with my days off, they seem to be cropping up exactly when the swell drops to 2ft right in the middle of a primo run of decent sized swell.
its been a case of enough to keep you amused but not enough to satisfy the last 6 or 7 surfs... the grom is stoked though, he even paddled out the back on tuesday
not bad waves yesterday, (still small though) trunked it, though id go wetsuitless and realised the water is really warm as.... second surf was 2 hours and wasnt cold at all

So did anyone brave the WC conditions today... Krank perhaps or Mr Statik?
Had some fun ones yesterday for a few hours in the afternoon at Mud varying from playful size through to scratching over the top and hoping like heck you don't take it on the head.
Best call yesterday afternoon came from one of the guys who I think is fairly well known after a mate asked him why he'd pulled back on one of the bomb's
"I didn't go because I was too scared". Well I was next in line and I didn't go either, but in my defense I was sure he was going to take it...

yeah the health system is so broken it's been heartbreaking
only way we have gotten anywhere is by saving up and going private as far as specialists and MRI's are concerned then really yelling and screaming to get anything to happen
but they are dead keen to dole out drugs then refute side effects as "no one else has ever had that effect"
alternative health has been a strike out too due to lack of a diagnosis
Got a TENS machine though ....fu(ken fantastic !

a nw yr already. all the best to all.
Scooter, i think you are right, almost everyone is in central...arrived home to near silence.
sorry to hear about Phoam...heres a few pics miss seeka shot on the way back from our central plateau visit where there were no waves, just long fast hills to bomb.
glad i had time to meet Roy & family and spend a quality arvo with them...and to lay my hands on his surfboards, man...shame time was short, maybe i'll get to surf his boards another time.
anyway, few more pics from our budding photog...
almost home to the top of the planet.
main road into town yesterday arvo.
everyone races to the coast.
which is where i should be....

plenty of waves here in the last week or so. 2ft every day
should really go for a surf today but lacking motivation with the crap on offer and due to all the rain the beach has a lovely brown tinge and a funky aroma in the water too

Surfed much BP? I've struggled to get the motivation and time to go out at all...last surf was the week before Christmas.

Former surf.co rark judge
Some fun ones up north this morning after the NW kicked in, better than I'd expected really so a bit of a bonus.
Haven't ridden the JC yet but will take it to the Coro this week, hopefully there will be something punchy to try it out in sometime....

Fun whale bay. Pretty bumpy with the NE but still fun.
Here's the Ghost 12 on a couple of waves yesterday, it's quite a big change from the Earl with an extra foot and a half in length, three inches less in width, three quarters of an inch less in thickness, 3 pounds less in weight and 35 litres less in volume.
I'm going to stay on this board for a while in the hope of some cyclone swell size over the next two months.

After riding the Earl I had to find the sweet spot for taking off on the Ghost as part of the dialling in process, here an adjustment aft during take off results in a stall, and the wave was nearly lost before it started, but all turned out well in the end.

ok, you just sound bored. like you surf cause that is your id and go out for a surf cause there are waves not to really explore the experience, just how you sound.
