I take it back. I was wrong...the 9'0 Tolhurst tuflight is a bloody good noserider, even I was able to shuffle up there with one foot just behind the nose. Really nice day today, waist to just over head fast clean waves with a low tide making them steep & racey. Looked like it was shutting down alot from BS hill, but no, just really fast. Wave speed suited the tolly well, lock downs pretty much set themselves up & I could shuffle up onto the nose. I remember someone telling a story on here not so long back about watching a bloke with some other guys on the beach. Apparently the guy did the same thing pretty much every wave & that story popped into my mind while I was out there coz it was like that for me today. Take off, trimming from the get go or maybe a little bottom turn, top turn into setting a line and then just shuffling up onto the nose for as long as possible, shuffling back just before an oncoming section for a floater, ride out the whitewater to the channel, paddle back and repeat. Very consistent, didn't get many sets, just enjoying the middle size waves, spending very little time waiting for a wave out back. Not that I was racing out there, left shoulders still giving me grief, so I paddled most of the way back out with my right arm...respectfully asking huey for a few days flatspell, so my shoulder and a couple of sea ulcers can heal
right then .... I shall peruse the Greenroom Parchment of BEERFINES and smash Wallaby Bob McTee's cohort farken hard
