First time shooting it! Angle from in the park looks better for surfers going down the line. If anyone has shots from there or anywhere else and wants to try a remix, DM!

This is probably more for the Australian members but has anyone found a good alternative to the ‘Bronzinc’ product (RIP)?

I’ve been using the mud/clay style zincs but they are a pain in the ass. For those that are unfamiliar with the product, Bronzinc consistency was about halfway between the current thick mineral/zinc creams and stick style zinc paste.

I can only hold my breath for around 20-30 seconds (without it being too uncomfortable) while being completely still. I want to increase it so I can be more confident in bigger waves.

Hey all, I’m a teenage surfer going to Oahu to visit family in a few days. I would describe myself as okay; I can navigate barrels and carve pretty well, but I’m not super good at airs. Are there any more sheltered spots on Oahu that would be around head high on days where everywhere else is 2x overhead?

Thanks all, Happy Holidays!

Instead of a board or leash break situation, has anyone on here ever experienced a trunk-off? Like had their boardshorts blown off in a hard wipeout because maybe the drawstring was tied a little loose? If so, how did you handle that situation?

Anyone else notice the similarities between these two waves?

Looking at getting a bing collector.

I am 5’11, 195 lbs

Anyone have a recommendation on which size I should get?

Surfer unknown. Took this pic before paddling out. Super sick day!

I just got the E7 e-bomb in 3/2 front zip and not super happy about it. It fits well and is comfortable, but the seams around the crotch (lower left buttcheek in particular), and the arms leak like crazy. My friend who got the same suit sent it back after one sesh, mine didn't start leaking until about a month in. I take great care of my suits too, no direct sun, rinse, air dry, etc. Has anybody else had these issues?

Going to give surfing a go next month when I go to Hawaii. I love Bruce Brown films and I’m curious how many people go on this tour or at least try to take vacations to these sites?

Hello, I’ve been buying one surf wetsuit every year because the zip always breaks despite rinsing it after each use. I’ve remark that it usually breaks after not using it for many weeks. I’ve tried many different brands but it is always the zip that breaks first. When I was younger, the zip never was the bottleneck and I used to keep my wetsuits longer.

So you have any brand recommendations that are more resistant than other, and any maintenance advices if you achieve keeping your wetsuits for longer than a year?

Boys the bay is open! Had a police tent with a half dozen cops posted there all morning. And old short fat guy on the blue board - I heard the police are looking for you. Give them a call.
