Hey-OOOOOO Christchurchians!!!
Looking possible for tomorrow dawn though... BP's bank.
where is he talking ? aston dr off beach rd.
Somewhere there. I'm just gunna park at the club, pick a weapon and trot up the beach. If you're keen for a dip, Jelly, I'm the guy on the blue twinnie or the red log. The one eating sandbar for breakky... 
.
surf report looks promising for the next few days.
I can see from st brig up to wb from my joint,if its on
I will see ya there .
Yeah, What's with Thursday 5-8ft of messy white stuff no doubt! 
DB, you seem to be favouring the log as of late.... if you were to choose one, would that be your favourite weapon would you say atm? Must admit, after my 'not so enjoyable' session the other week on my log, took it out over last few days and had a great time. Would still prefer to be riding the FB though, just need some bigger waves

5-8 whitewash heads out comes the sumner lifeboat
Do I prefer my left foot or my right one, Mosco? 
I've ridden the fish the last two seshes. I usually have to talk myself into it though. My thorn with surfing is I'm not too shabby once I've caught the wave, but somehow I seem to miss ones other surfers would catch with two strokes. So for this reason, if I had to choose one board for the rest of my days, I'd take the log, and it's paddle-power.
I just love how twitchy the fish is though.
how big is your fish db
So big that in all fairness it isn't a fish... 6'3".

Mmmm... well I kinda prefer my left but thats another story
I know what you mean though... Horses for courses so they say. I was amazed at how easy paddling the log was after being on the FB for a while... Almost wierd, but it is great sitting further out than anyone else and takin' your pick

Nicholas Notara designed a collapsible surfboard whose frame is made of carbon fiber.
Notara carefully designed the board to maintain the balance and weight of a traditional surfboard. The surfboard breaks down and becomes half its usual size with the help of a quick release level and flipping two pins. The board can also adapt to the rides needs with its swappable fin system. While the board is a beautiful example of great design, it is unfortunately just a concept at this time. Maybe one for the future with rising baggage costs and airlines becoming difficult to deal with when travelling with a board.
was just sussing Marineweather..and seen this 
1km north? I think I might drive up Aston too...
It was a thruster for its first two years with me, but I just got a set of Shapers new school twinzers for it at Christmas time. New board. I'll never ride it as a thruster again. Phenomenally loose and squirty.
Iam about 700ft above sea level and its a slight off shore and I can hear waves ,stars are out no clouds,might chuck the booties in the car.
I been in my leaky transition booties last two, Hicks and Kooks. Fingers still okay. Took three on the head and was starting to get a bit creamy last time though.
surfed last sunday one and a half hours and could hardley feel my feet walking back to the car.
Are you custard or jelly?! Harden up!

Didn't see you there Jelly. Report says 1-1.5ft. Hahahahah. Um, no.
your not teasing poor snap again are ya?
spewing,been at the after hrs since 4'30am with a very over heated little boy,looks like you called a good one sth shore looks good at the mo,but on nurse duties Murphy's law If anything can go wrong, it will.
Aww heck. Hope your boy cools down! Mine both had it, and Marko's wee girl is sick too.
We all need to buy family sunbeds, that's our problem.
If it's any consolation, I had a bit of a flounder sesh for the first part chasing walls that seemed to feather for a hundred meters and never break. Finally clued up and moved in a bit.
Marko had a screamer though - hooted like a train for a full 30 seconds after one wave.
Hah yeah I thought he had either seriously injured himself or got tubed off his nut. Happily, the latter.
Great wee morning - some wicked waves.
Sorry to hear that jelly - hope he comes right soon

Went for a surf on the Welly West on Sunday. I reckon the water was about 17 deg. Sunny with no wind, I reckon you could have got away with a springy. That's unseasonably warm by the way. The funny thing is that water temp during summer was unseasonably cold. It's warmer now than it was in Feb!

I reckon it gets heaps warmer the closer you get to scarbs. Kooks with the Ashley and the Mak is colder than North Beach was this am.
there's been heaps of water coming from the mountains the last week and a half,which is a good but cold thing.

yeah i agree. Guys out in hoods and gloves at Scarb this afternoon?! The water wasn't too cold this morning, just the air. But the mak last week was just ridiculous.
I need to get some practice with the cam - the shots i took are sh1tehouse. Plus i nearly lost the ba5tard thing when i got dumped on.

Far out - I had a few weeks of boardies surfs here in summer, so it certainly wasn't cold. I don't mind boots but hate gloves/hoods. But on a midwinter dawn, i just love them.
