Good thing is you float to the surface faster after a big wipeout. I would surf with those guys anytime. If they are Jersey guys, I have a lot of respect for them. New wetsuits these groms use are nothing like the old 5 mil sealskins we used lol... still a 4/3 may not cut it some days... probably in the 40's that day, and that's just a bunch of local semi-pros that have taken advantage of youtube and such. 10 minutes ago, Cat_Scratch said: Those waves remind me a lot of my Hatteras trips.

Cat_Scratch Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Warm water is nice, I hardly ever wear rubber more. It makes me to tired. I ride a 7'2" Star board. Have to repair my 8"6" spear. Also have a 7"10" epoxy funshape that is so fun on 3 to 5 foot surf. Anyway, I only go out 2 or 3 times a month lately... was almost everyday before I got married. Working the night shift, I could always hit it when the waves were good. Not so much since I retired. My wife thinks I work for her now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal was just a teaching language (think of like Latin) and never left academia, Fortran was for engineering and calculative processes but only saw a lot of business implementation combined with other languages such as COBOL which was business's workhorse, and assembler was only good for diving into to prove that those big blue idiots in Rochester screwed up again...….don't ask me how I know... BTW: If you make any coin on those guides let me know....still got some ASCII EBCDIC charts and some punch cards lying around somewhere....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My quiver is a 5'10 rounded pin, a 6'4 rounded pin, and a 6'9 rounded pintail for normal waves. For novelty waves I've got and old single Rhino chaser minigun, a beater longboard, and an old 5'2" swallowtail twin. 😄 Last time out was in October...... so jonesing 😯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I weigh in at 180. I need some meat in my boards. Love rounded pins, very responsive, and hold well in big waves. On small waves in Florida I liked the Fish at 5"10 to 6'0. Wide tails to keep the speed through the flats, turns fast, but them days are pretty much gone for me. Anyways, pray for surf, Going back to that Chris Langan video Chimp put up in the OT forum. I had to take a mind break for a few... Going to have it on loop tonight while I'm awake. Try to expand my mind some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to take a mind break for a few... Going to have it on loop tonight while I'm awake. Try to expand my mind some. the 5'10 is not rideable in a suit, and pretty much sucks wind to paddle. I've sat around the 6'4 for years, but the 6'9 has gotten most of the action in recently. Rounded pins are the best (for me) for hollow waves and late drops and holding a bottom turn (a Jersey staple). The thrusters in that size range seem to carve a bit better or 'deeper' suitable to my 'oldschool' style lol . Grew up on twins and swallows for the smaller stuff, but always liked the squashtails (or even a bumpsquash) over a fish for a shortboard or on 'no-push' waves. A fish shaped longboard is a different story, they seem to release/turn better, those I like. Funny how it has just been recently that everyone just figured out how fast a twin can be compared to thruster lol So who remembers the old leashes (could be called a 'real' shock cord lol) made of a short rope covered by a slightly shorter surgical tube, with a no-release leather slip shackle? Now THAT'S old hahaha ps. just catching up and saw that other thread you mentioned, will check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Dude's in that lineup Vlogs NJ surf life almost daily (has been for a few years)… You might appreciate some of his work (for those mind breaks lol)...

Cat_Scratch Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 What makes you guys so core is how you charge in freezing water. Make the drop and you have a nice reward... The little 5 '8 or so square tail twin fin space heater with the green bottom and pineapples on it looked like a nice summer board for our type of breaks. I'm headed to Mexico in the morning. Was taking my board but I wreck my knee umpiring a game tonight. Can barely bend it. 75 MPH or so fast ball into the knee cap. Yeah, I took off the shin guards cause one was messed up. Dumb... Thanks for sharing the vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best chance (tho it still wouldn't get remotely close) would be the 5-wave design that the Auzzies are working on... Very nice indeed... but still … you actually seriously gonna try and compare that to Mother Nature????
