So nice to see, reduce, reuse, re… Spotted on korduroy.tv
Surfing has come so far…
We spent a cold wet and windy weekend on Philip Island last week. It was great to get away from home for a few days and just relax ,and catch up with some close friends.
Had one little surf at Forest Caves, the first and only surf I have had on the Island (I’ve only made it there twice). Small swell with a strong offshore wind, not as cold as I might have anticipated. Very much winter on the Island though, apart from the lack of swell, 2 to 3 foot on the open beaches. I’ll be back there in Summer I think, have only ever seen the place cold, wet and grey!

I’ve had 4 surfs on my new 5′ 10″ twin fin hydrofoil from tomosurfboards.com and I’m already pretty happy and can’t wait to get out on it again. I must admit the first surf I had on it left me scratching my head, thinking what have I got myself into! A little converse with Tomo via email and I had an adjusted approach to the board, which made a huge difference. Read the rest of this entry »

Yep, it’s here, STOKED! Looks so nice, and challengingly different, I can feel a learning curve coming on…

Tomo was a pleasure to deal with, and produces a quality, innovative product, there’s no reason to buy a “pop-out” support the grass roots of surfing while it’s still with us!
I’ll be sure to review the board once I get a surf on it and look forward to seeing where it takes me and my surfing.
Serious talent, questions the modern surfboard design completely, or maybe Tyler would rip just as hard on a coffee table?
My new board is complete, should be on it’s way this week; should have it next week. I’m like a kid on Christmas eve!
If I could be anywhere else right now, this would probably hit the nail on the head – via http://theswallowtailsociety.tumblr.com
