Robbie Stewart Posted July 18, 2017 Share I Don't know diddely squat about surfing but this looks like one helleva jol ! Even without this contraption surfing is one helluva lot of fun. Billabong had it pegged with their 90's slogan of "Only a surfer knows the feeling". deanbean and Eddy Gordo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted July 18, 2017 Share Personally I think being able to paddle onto a wave is the ultimate. That moment you see your opportunity, u turn, you start to get anxious, you paddle some more, you get more excited and then off you go, a sigh of relief, you up and riding the wave.

Shebeen Posted July 18, 2017 Share I also left out Unions End, but I have been to both on one other occasion each. Cool - was in the Kgalagadi last year, a week at Nossob. Even then i couldn't quite justify it! there's another weird one confluence hunting https://www.wired.com/2009/08/degreeconfluenceproject/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly you are spat out riding a ball of foam and mist, whooping your lungs out, and then finally ending the ride with a rail-grab cutback and kick-out. You paddle back to the top of the lineup, claiming the "best barrel I've ever had, bru" to all your mates. Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
