I am a college student interested in studying abroad. I also have sliding waves in my blood and naturally want to go somewhere for a few months where I can get good surf everyday (in between classes of course). Does anybody have any experience with this or can give me some helpful insight?
I’ve “studied” that way! I’m no expert on tri’s. Your thrusters are 10.5" from the stern. Shouldn’t they be about 13.5" from the stern? I’ve mostly ridden tri fin setups installed by others. My thrusters were farther forward and operated well. The literature I’ve read say that bunching thrusters and center fins causes problems, that bunched tri setups cause boards to bog down, just like you describe. I would re-set the thrusters with their rear bases 13.5" from the stern, measured along the stringer. The rear bases should be 1.25" off the rails. The fins should be be toed in 1/8" to 1/4" each, front to back, and canted 2 to 4 degrees from vertical. More toe-in and cant mean tighter turns, but greater drag. So you choose your ride characteristics. If you want to do the work yourself, I’m sure you can get plenty of advice here at Swaylock’s.
Just go to Australia to study surfing. Yes, there is a surfing degree.

As nice as that sounds, I am already committed to a major. I am seriously looking into Oz though, here are some options; Gold Coast, Sydney, Wollongnong, Melbourne, Newcastle. I have heard great things about the Gold coast. If anybody can point me in a direction to find info on the surf, best season, and anything else I would be very thankful.
