indosnm 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Had a few waves over the weekend. The point wasn't really working & when size increased winds weren't good. Headed to Byron to let my little one have a surf and I got a few gems. Almost had my head taken off by a longboarder but that's Byron for you! Some good pics http://www.coastalwatch.com/news/article.aspx?articleId=8458&display=0&cateId=3& Panhead, What/who is your friend training? Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 How's the young fella going Indo? I've created a monster here. All he wants to to is surf. He's confidence is a bit higher than his ability at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites

He's confidence is a bit higher than his ability at the moment. He's going well. He can pump and goes for the pit! Likes to have at least 1 surf a day! Is begging me for a real board. I'm trying to keep him on the PU board as long as possible but I think it won't be long.. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Little mantas started on a 5'10". He's now on a 5'8". Most of the groms he surfs with are a bit older and ride a 5'3". The 5'10" was too hard for him to duckdive. I still push him in while sitting on my board sometimes (quite an art actually). I told him I'd get him a custom when he can surf 100% by himself.

indosnm 0 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Cool. My little fella is on a 5'6 kid fish. I can get boards from the local shapers after the Jnr riders are done with them. Will try before we buy but like you am dangling that carrot before the custom comes along! More importantly, I need a new board for myself if we are going to get all these swells.

Thundercat 60 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Finally got some proper swell rolling through right now. Some serious waves out there today. I was able to surf a place on the peninsula that only goes off 5-6 times a year. Beautiful point break and reef a few hundred meters away. Definitely the best wave in Izu. We got consistent 6-8 footers with some really big sets punching through (maybe 10+ foot). Spent 6 hours in the water and am shattered now (also sunburnt!). Very happy that the typhoon swells have started so early after such a pathetic year last year! Link to post Share on other sites
