Ha ha, we could all have a Surfing Waves Surfrider meet up sometime. I used to surf a long board at First a lot but don't own it any more, to me it feels like a LB's weight gives it a little inertia at first, but once you get it going you can normally feel the glide...

Maybe you could weight the board? With the dims we might get a sense of what it should weigh. Just get on a scale with and without the board, and do the math. 8)

Have you surfed 2nd yet? You should have a lot of fun there with your fish.


We should all meet up, it would be fun. Private Message me yeah?

The board is def. water logged. But I surfed it at First and it rode like a dream. I guess I just didn't give it enough time really.

Have surfed 2nd on a friends Fish and had fun. I really enjoy the logging though. :mrgreen:


I'll PM you soon! Too bad we're in the middle of winter now, although we are starting to see little S/SW swells. I've been surfing Zuma mostly as it is usually the biggest break in Malibu during the winter...

Not at Surfrider!

Malibu is almost totally south facing, so the best time is often in summer when we get south swells from southern hemisphere. Big west swells will wrap around and hit other spots, but at Surfrider they are often blocked by the Channel Islands.

I think it’s the combination of these different factors that makes Surfrider such a well-groomed break, plus the nice weather middle of the year. A lot of times the waves look like they’re pumped out by a machine.
