My Occasional Pin isn't really a nose rider, and I leave the wax about 2 feet short of the nose! LoL!... Occasionally 1 foot will be off the wax, on small days...
I got told as a young boy..."there is nothin up your nose worth having ...leave it alone" I have followed that advice into many areas of life including surfing
Moffatts. Seen it about double head. I paddled out to the reef. It was bigger. I couldn't make a drop. The longboards at Moffatts put me off. They were doing okay.
Anyway, on topic, I haven't hung ten yet and every time I get near the nose I worry about digging it in and losing the plot and wasting a wave. I mean I am only 6-8 inches from the tip, but it just freaks me out.
