need advice

[surf4life60]

i just got a new board, a 6'2 Hawiian island creations GX, do yaw think this is a good board? im 5'11 and am 160

[wbsurfer]

Have you tried it out yet?

[RideHigh]

yeah ride it before you analyze whether or not your stick is long/wide/thick enough. wow that sounds pretty x rated but i am indeed referring to your board. is it foam or epoxy?

[surf4life60]

yeah ive been ridding it for about a month or 2, i think its foam, cause ive allready had to get it repaired like twice, i think its a good board, its seem less durable than my previous board, but overall it rides very good.

[wbsurfer]

If it flots u good then i would just keep it. But that's just my opinion.

[surf4life60]

yeah ill def prob keep it

[RideHigh]

well after you have fun riding it then you need to ask yourself what makes you have more fun? speed? maneuverability? versatility? then you can start shaping a board in your mind and have a better picture of what specific kind of a board you really want. :D

[surf4life60]

yeah man, im prety good, but the only thing is i dont kno how the shape of the board, or how the concaves, or fins make a difference in all that. i kno it makes a difference i just dont kno how?

[hutch]

whats the thickness of the board?

[conway]

dude, if it feels good, ride it. dont worry about thickness, concave, whatever; enjoy the ride.

[wbsurfer]

conway's right as long as you feel good riding it then ride it.

[adowcett]

That's all good for now, but those are things you are going to have to consider eventually if you want your surfing to progress. You would also need to take those things into account to find a board that might be even better.

chill bro but if ive got some kinda killer stick that i get the gnar gnarniest barrelz on then I ain't gonna worry about my boards dimensions are. bro, its a totally cosmic affair bro. plus, i dont really care about that stuff dude.

[adowcett]

I feel ya con con brah

[conway]

I feel ya con con brah

bro, wanna have a totally cosmic surf sesh tommorow? i think itll be gnar gnar and totally bodacious. ima paddle out around whenever and have some gnarly sesh time. dig it.

[adowcett]

I dunno brah I would be down for a bodacious cosmic sesh right bout low tide but I have some severe lameage factors that may prevent this shred meet from occuring, If I can make it out after It won't be about 5, and I'm not sure if the barrellzz are gonna be doin it around then, Maybe before though, around 12-2 though bro, or there might even be a possibility of some gnarlyness in the morning too if the shorebreak decides to do it's thing... I'll give you a ring ring tommorow, hopefully I'll clock in some shred sesh barrellzz time through out the day reguardless

[adowcett]

By the way con con, brah, check your private messagez, some radical stuff I sent you in there

dude sounds rad. I too have several lameage factors that are gonna prevent a pre- noon shred sesh. hopefully the sb will gnar up and episize. I hope you get some bangin rides brah. tommorow might be good for a low-tide, post practice rip.
have a cosmic one. peace.

[adowcett]

A post practice rip shred would be pretty bodacious what with it staying light till like
7:50ish I probably wouldn't be able to get there till 7 though and if low tides at four I'm not sure about the barrellzz

[conway]

dude that sounds awesome.

bro I didnt get a post practice shred in today. so bummed. surf was crap though but I woulda paddled out and had a cosmic session.

[conway]

actually nevermind surf looked pretty fun for the longboard. double bummage for both of us, yeah?

[adowcett]

Bummage squared dude, bummage squared, it's all chizill though because I had a pretty gnar gnar shred shesh miday sunday and was rippin on the short board, it was pretty bodacious, doesn't look like there's gonna be much of that goin down this weekend thoungh:( :( :( It's good though because after monday I'm free to shred every afternoon :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: ooooohhhhhh yyyyeeaaahhhh

[conway]

thats some bullsnip. bummage cubed for me man. maybe I'll get some afternoon surfs by the time the rubber comes off..... I hope *sigh*

[adowcett]

[adowcett]

Pretty Gnar Gnar

[bfloyd]

yeah man, im prety good, but the only thing is i dont kno how the shape of the board, or how the concaves, or fins make a difference in all that. i kno it makes a difference i just dont kno how?


If your pretty good you should know this stuff, completely depends on the kind of conditions you are facing and the dimensions of your board.. If you are dropping in on 20 foot faces on a shallow reef with fast traveling waves, I probably wouldn't recommend it. Now if you are using it for average waist to chest+ grovel session with a little push and a fast line, it could be alot of fun. Now, when you dip into fins that is whole different ballgame as well. What condiitons are you looking to ride it in and what are the dimensions besides the height?

cosmic thoughts brah.:D :D :D

[adowcett]

Radical dude, that just blew my mind:D

But in all seriousness, you're going to have to pay attention to some of those things if you want to reach any level of decency, it just sounds like surf4life follows the concon policy

no you don't. just wax up, paddle out and shred.
adowcett, you've seen me surf. am I on any level of decency?

[barneyboy]

I got a board like that. It feels good when I ride it. I like it in stomach to chest high ground swell.

[adowcett]

no you don't. just wax up, paddle out and shred.
adowcett, you've seen me surf. am I on any level of decency?

Dude you totally shred the gnar gnar, like one time I was paddling back out after some sick barrellage and I saw you drop in and get pitted, like sooooooooooo pitted, and then you came out and smacked the lip, like "whapaw" and there was this gnar gnar dumping of spray like everywhere

[conway]

dude how about when I went back down and was like apowanxdosskdhh and then rode the barrel and got so pitted man, just totally pitted.
