I used to play around on my cousins wave ski and used to try to surf on my uncles old surfboard but I much preferred the wave ski as it was easier to ride could never get my balance on a surf board.

Surfing unless plain talented is bloody hard!
these images are of me around 1983...wow 30 years ago Im at blacks reef with the girlfriend that surfed -a pain in the ass as they think they can drop in and tell you to f-off lol
Bloody hell Brian have you got a boner on or a budgie down those shorts? Ha ha ha ha
45cal
Surfed lots in my early teens to mid twenties at Maketu and Mount.
Was actually more into skateboarding and invested most of my time into that.
Gapped Axe that looks like my Dads mob!
same pic you posted isnt it . the seasons board in front i made!!
your photos boys post them !!!!
Probably is. But hey I'm not your dad. The guys range from 17yrs to 42yrs. This photo was taken around 1984
Have to have a dig around. Got a few photos surfing Tamarindo, Boca Barranca and Playa Negra in Costa Rica with Robert August, Robert Weaver (Wingnut), Mark Martinson and a bunch of other old school players. Joel Tudor was supposed to show too but never saw him. I guess it was the lead up to the "Surf n Turf" competition he hosts in Tamarindo as we played golf after and combined scores. I got a signed Wingnut tee shirt.
Learnt in the Mount before it got invaded, only longboards. The little pointy boards were for the "butt wigglers" who still look like they are trying to pull themselves silly on a surfboard. Too fat, old and tired now to be bothered plus the waves in HB are as good as the sea fishing, shit, (once you have experienced places like the Gulf of Mexico).
Funny thing with the golf in Tamarindo, there were real live crocodilo in the water hazards. I asked the old ex pat Yank i was playing with, "who feeds them". He cooly said to me "there aint not many dogs round here boy".:XD:
Only the net
thatd be great to see some of those images . Those names are legends in the surf world - god Robert August must be getting on . Saw wingnut surfin with him in Endless summer 11 - Wingnut has MS disease . Get those pics out . I took Kong Surfing in a secret spot in northern Spain -to big for me so i watched
long boards rule!!!!
I decided not to enter the water this day-Mundaka northern Spain circa 1989-90
How big the face of that wave ? That's insane ! :sick:
around 20 ft but Mundaka's wave as it hits the bar grows sometimes to and then pitches into a big barrel . Sadly i was never so good as to enjoy the qualities of this wave as much as i would have like to --couldn't barrel ride for shit.
a couple of my old boards -a stnger and a single fins
Is that a surfer near the crest of the wave center left on the Circa photo?
