If you look closely this is unavoidable crowd reaction of our beloved tourmaline with tons of tourists. Where I got scalped and no aloha spirit. No longer surf there anymore. Such a shame. Would you?

So there I was minding my own business and the next thing you know... I think I might have got my first barrel...
What do you recon... Can I claim it?
Was from a session a few weeks back on the Dahlburg. The surf spot is Tubes in Jbay and the wave is a lot faster and also tubes more than Point where I usually surf... hence the name I guess... Shallow... especially on low tide... 😵💫
So anyways... Can I claim it? 😁
Hey beautiful people! Got a great OMBE story to share with you all! 😉
Despite the fact that my regular board is under repaid, and the massive wind we had today, I decided to go surfing today! And I am so glad I did! Was the best breakthrough moment for me ! And it’s all because of OMBE ✌️
As I said my board is getting fixed so I used a shorter board which I got as a gift, fish board, 6’1, 35 litres. I usually surf a 7’4, 56 litres. So pretty big difference ! 🤪
As I walked on the beach to the surf spot I saw the surfers from the beach and I thought this could be me, I could be doing that too!
And guess what?! I managed to catch waves, stand up on the fish board and even felt the board going on rails for the first time !!! It was sooo amazing the feeling on carving the water on the board! Wow! I can see the potential! 🙂
My short board was going so fast, I could only pop up once today, I had to hard time coordinate all the movements with so little time and so much speed! 💨
So I just watched the board course which is absolutely fantastic! And I now know the fish Board really picks up on speed!🤯
Now I may want to get a mid length board, lighter and rounder to work my turns, so that I can get on rails 🚃!
I just found this board for sake at the local surf shop where I got my board fixed. It is a 7’0 board with 50 litres volume. Round tail. Round nose. Looks pretty good! It’s locally made so the shaper knows the local waves.
Any tips to help me decide if this is the right move? 🙏
Thanks for everything!

Another land base. Stoked a year ago could not do this. Appreciate all the education! It’s wonderful and working. Now some water videos soon. 🐬🌊
Hey Roxy have been meaning to say I thought the positioning of your feet on the mat in the last live stream was really great definitely a huge improvement from the last stream Now transfer to your Bosu
Anthony Laye there seems to be a accessibility issue for the latest live again. Getting a message the video is not available on my current subscription plan.
New spot Sunday. Wow tricky to find the break but here is the question. When the same people keep taking the line up how do you tackle that ? So you can get a chance?
Equipment question
I’m looking to purchase a new board- currently on a 5’10 36.7L RNF 96 probably to short for me but feel the litres works for my paddle fitness etc
I’m an intemediate started in November and looking to progress quickly starting to try cutbacks and speed gen but a long way to go
What’s the best video to watch or does anyone have any recommendations for what I should move to next? I was thinking some sort of daily driver 6’2 and 35L second hand and maybe something a bit bigger too to play around with?
Hey friends! Got this wave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpEpcntvMik and would love to get some feedback to help me improve! What do you think I should fix? Always happy to get some tips to improve! Thanks a lot!
