It took half the summer but some fun swell finally showed up in Jersey.

The infamous backwash will usually win.

Hey everyone,

My board got smashed during a flight and now it looks like this. Is there any hope of repairing it, or is it done for?

The bottom of the board looks completely fine, but based on these photos, do you think it's snapped internally? I'm comfortable doing the repair myself if it's fixable, but I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with similar damage before and how it turned out.

Thanks!

Hey just curious, juat at a snapshot which board people thinks looks better?

One has more foam than the other One of them feels like it takes way too much effort to release the tail

And one probably needs different fins

Not the best surfing in these clips but trying to decide between which one to bail on and which one to keep

Im already leaning towards one of them

I'm a carpenter and I'm lucky enough to have the flexibility to surf before work if I want. I'm currently 32 and probably do this about twice a week but I find on the days I surf for the rest of the day I'm just super tired and can't really be as productive as I should be. I eat well and get okay sleep but I'm worried as I get older it'll just get too hard to do this. Do any other blue collar surfers have any advice?

Ordered a smaller one but it feels super lively under feet

Why all red?

Most people know the Falklands/Malvinas as a flashpoint, a war, a sovereignty dispute, a talking point that resurfaces every time Argentina and England share a headline (like right now with the World Cup).

What most people don't know is that there's a small surf scene out there, and in 2018 two Argentine surf-filmmaker brothers (Joaquín and Julián Azulay, aka Gauchos del Mar) went to find it.

The result is Transcending Waves - they track down two local Falkland Islander brothers, also surfers, also born after the '82 war, and just... go surf together. It's not a political film, but it can't help being one as the tension is right there under the surface the whole time.

Given everything going on right now between the two countries, it felt like a good moment to bring this one up. Enjoy!

Had a great day here with a longboard one day great long cruiser waves.

Have been out on other days here when the conditions are said to be good online but it was really poor and no surfers out.

In what conditions is this break working best ?

Any other recommendations for longboard waves in Victoria?

Just got a new board. Put my fins in, and took them out. I noticed this hairline ‘crack’ inside the finbox. (Corner) or it could be the paint from the fins too (see pic 3 sides of finbox theres paint as well) i tried wiping it down but none of the ‘crack’ or side paint wipes off. What can i do incase?

I’m a late comer to the sport and skills continuing to progress. Based in Bay Area. 5’11 / 175. Surf OB, HMB, LM, SC etc

Current boards:
Pyzel white tiger - 5’7 / 31.7L
Lost little wing -6’0 / 32L
Pyzel shadow - 6’1 / 30.7L

Thinking of selling the white tiger and/or little wing. Have been using both for past year+. Have cycled through some fishy boards as well.
Would love a performance fish for smaller days and a DD HPSB. Looking at sub driver or JS monsta / similar for DD. Maybe shadow could even fill that purpose? Idk latest small wave models - open to all ideas
