Hey buddy thanks for the negativity...so you watched it ehh? If you had the balls to paddle out you would have seen some of the best barrels on the Goldie for years from the perspective that it can be true appreciated.
Thanks to people like you these boys don't get the respect they should taking on these conditions...everyone know it looks smaller on vid.
Asher said some of the hold downs were amazing for the size...6 foot? NO MATE 8 Foot!
Grow up and paddle out...do you live in Brissie???
can't say I'll see you in the lineup????

.....hey Justin, I dont want to stir , but this post is garbage !.......welcome to the forum anyway , and I'm glad you guys have it sorted...haha!.......( ps threats of legal action......."not on" , under any circumstances !!!......grow a thicker skin)
So…can you make it to the MORE surfboards testing day at Maroochydore on Australia day (8am onwards)?
If you can bring your camera.
An up and coming local shaper could always use some well shot footage of his boards being ridden posted up on You tube.
With the plethora of board designs out there these days being able to see someone surfing a board model one is interested in can really help figure out if that type of board would suit ones surfing.
It’s not about the world’s best and so there’s no bragging rights about being tight with the stars but maybe the right people will see it and get in touch.
Post footage of different board models being ridden on this forum and I’m sure you’ll get only postive reactions from the design junkies that love this site.
Edit…just started reading that thread you started.
Many years ago I was surfing Alex hdld and a guy paddles up to me and asked me if I’d been in Colorado the previous ski scene. Which I had. He’d been over there as well and seen me there. The guy was a channel Ten cameraman.
Hey Huck, what's a Bakersfieldian? Nice of you to get in here. Justin, in your 1st post you didn't say it was your'e movie, so you are entitled to be a bit pissed cause it was your'e baby, but if you have another read, I wasn't being negative to you, just seen so many perfect swells go by there in the last 15 or so years, I said what I saw. I didn't tell you I have shaped boards for 10 world champs and can't make a living doing what I love either , so if you are , Mate, embrace it, cheers H. ps nice to see peace is restored and I like the whole wave shot.
Do you mean the movie thread? yea I saw it, I like the wider shot. Or do you have another one going, nothing like coming in with a bang, exactly how I did it, H.
Kokua for me to say that I understang your pain is rediculas, I hope you get the chance to get back in the ocean and stand on a board, carve it like you remember.
I this forum helps you I’m all for it and if you need a holiday beside the ocean in OZ let me know, i have a spare room for you!
oh your'e too much, if anyone catches me whinging again, sentence me to a week in Bakersfield, you don't live there do you Huck,[mate image is nice, I want to know your'e real name]and make those beautifull boards? Are you on some kinda home detention? Your'e whole family got kidnapped by aliens and the last relative alive had to take you, to save you from America's hardest prisons, one of my favourite shows by the way, need some new episodes, well good luck and Kirra is the last of your problems, H. but now you know we are looking for new recruits, lol.
Well if you’re trying to be ecclectic why not spotlight Roy’s work?
At first I thought the Kirra clip was shot by an amateur and so was offering an idea to make something more relevant to Swaylockians and surfboard design rather than a clip, that like a big night out, most won’t remember the next day.

Yes. Absolutely.
Sorry for the hijack but its a surfboard design forum and I asked what board was being ridden in the video and can't get an answer, plus I want to see footage of More surfboards, maybe Ben can take some pics for us?
Bako ain't all that bad, really, I like to make fun of it but its less than 2 hrs. to my old home town Ventura and good surf, and 2 hrs. to John Mellor country the prettiest there is, and 2 hrs. to L.A. with lots of good surf spots even if they are crowded but everysurfer has shown me some not so crowded spots too. We have two surf shops here (wavelengths and hoggs) too, even 'tho I went into to wavelengths and asked for a pivot fin and they didn't know what it was because they mainly sell skateboards and tee shirts LOL. Its just redneck in a lot of ways and I'm gonna move first chance I get, but a lot of good people here too, like everywhere. I think Fresno is worse but they actually have a surf club!
That was f…n hilarious! I always refer to Bakersfield as the ‘Tumble Weed National Forest.’ Fresno’s more crowded with the same hot, shitty weather I suppose. Huck, I’ve been surfing for 38 years with no time off for other life distractions and building my own for a measly 8 years. So, what’s a pivot fin?
Justin,
Welcome aboard. I was enjoying your sparring match with the other Aussies. I think there is a lot we in the USA and yah’all in Australia don’t understand about each other even though we share a similar history. It’s important to not take it all very seriously in my opinion. I try to avoid typing anything here that I wouldn’t say to someone standing in front of me. Not saying that’s what you did. I don’t know you. But, I think a lot do say shit they wouldn’t normally say and hide behind their pseudonyms. It’s pretty safe behind the keyboard. No what I mean?
The Aussies taught the Americans how to surf and win contest. Mike
Hello Justin, the internet is like that sometimes a lot of baiting and aggro sometimes while also a lot of over reactions in return. Not saying you did
but i thought the part about taking him to court was hilarious if that wasa joke! I might use that sometime
Nice footage i actually posted that link to a few sites including my facebook if thats ok.

I dunno how long that "borrowed" image will stay up, but its similar to a hatchet fin. Here's the link in case the picture disappears. http://mollusksurfshop.com/shop/gear/fins/fu-pivot/ You probably never heard of 'em because you don't longboard. I have a three longboards now (gonna try to sell one tomorrow a.m.), and have been transitioning to longer boards, but still feel more comfortable on boards in the 7' range if there is any surf to speak of, but they are great fun in small stuff. Anyway, I have a friend who swears by them, so I wanted to try one on my new longboard.
I guess I should have elaborated - they had one, ONE, longboard fin in stock. When I told him it was similar to hatchet fin, he didn't know what a hatchet fin was. Didn't know what a D fin was, either. I'm drawing pictures to explain, then I noticed the longboard collection hanging from the ceiling - pivot fins and D-fins amundo. Duh. Anyway, it was obvious surfing gear was not a big seller there.
Much more skateboard stuff and clothes, which would only be logical. The kid was nice, and did actually surf (said he lived in Fresno and had just moved here). His response made sense too - "living in Bakersfield I don't get out that much, I don't worry about the finesse stuff, thats for guys that surf all the time. For me its just about wave count, that's it."
BTW, I have updated my location: Tumbleweed National Forest, LOL
I liked the shot of the kid dragging the tumbleweed behind his dirt bike. I wonder if that was his Christmas tree. Redneck is what I like most about Bakersfield. Pick-up trucks, country music, horse shoes, beer… good times. Mike
didnt look like the kirra i remember as it didnt close out. but nice waves. pity about the bogans. anyway best not to pubic lice it too much i supose. i surfed kirra good once when i was a grommet and it was head high and bullshit good. most of the time i just watched it as the locals were on to it and i was a mere grommet from the sunny coast. . my favourite waves in qld not on the goldy , frenchmans national park. tee tree. moffats. mainbeach, anne street. wurtulla rocks. curramundi river mouth
