Platter Love
Sought out and scored a nice little one day south that was pulsing up............brought along my two Mega Platters, the current one and also my 'last' one, the one that had a bit more tail rocker. I had all manner of buddies trying out both boards all day long, and the fun meter was noticeably pegg...

Re: Fun on a Monday...
Coincidentally, these photos were taken on 'another' Monday, so there must be something to going surfing on that day? I'm loving the new board, but I had the designer take out 'half' the tail rocker on this one versus the previous version, and I think that I'm now feeling that this was an error on m...

Re: Fun on a Monday...
I've found that while just paddling around the lineup area, I keep the board out in front of me and either rest my fingertips on the tail of the board, or maybe move up a bit so that my entire forearm is on the rear of the board? That's just proven to be the most comfortable, ergonomic way to get ar...

Re: Fun on a Monday...
All fun stuff. A nice little point break, dropping tide, and a small crowd all made for a nice morning's session.

Re: Fun on a Monday...
More Monday fun, but a few weeks further along than the above posting..............and the location was slightly different. Boards pictured are my L41 6-3 x 2p" quad, and my buddy Steve's PHD 5-6 x 24" twinnie. Was this the last swell of this year's Winter? It's quite possible...........bu...

Re: Fun on a Monday...
Thanks for making the time for the get together, it was a pleasure to have you onboard. Next year when you're back, we'll have get something similarly planned, and hope for a bit of a bigger swell...!

Re: Fun on a Monday...
The surf was fun if nothing truly epic.................but none of that mattered. Just fun to be out in the warm California sun, riding decent waves down into a little glassy cove, basically having a nice, boutique point break pretty much to ourselves. I joked with Keith that in the design space bet...

Fun on a Monday...
Long story short............I saw a new swell on the horizon so I got ahold of visiting Welsh national Keith Usher and arranged to meet him with the boat at 9am for a run up the coast to see what we could find...What a blast. I'd never met Keith before but we peppered him with questions as we planed...

All good stuff! The testing continues................this time, up at a rocky cove in the middle of southern Big Sur.

Re: Fun on a Monday
Here's the last of 'em. Nothing huge by anybody's standards (but still plenty 'overhead'...), but darn fun as long as you let your imagination run free and are astride the right equipment with an open mind.

Fun on a Monday
I've got a buddy who's one of those rare 'Renaissance' men in surfing. Super talented, able to 'go' any direction as the waves or his mood dictates......actively bodysurfs, or rides any number of boards from short kinky things to huge longboards...........and everything in between. Truly a pleasure ...

Re: Mega Platter Redux
Bob, Well, that isn't me in that first photo, but yes, that swing-wide set caught ALL of us inside, and yes, I did get hammered. Remember that at 75 liters of floatation, this thing has a lot more float than even your typical 9-0 longboard, so one of the aspects of riding it is that you are NOT goin...
