With the lack of waves of late,i've been having a blast just trimming down the line,I've found sitting on the high side ( top ) of the wave the most fun,imo this part of the waves feels faster than trimming the lower part.

Yes a surf thread

What's "trimming"

We had a bloke that was trimming, broke his leg now he's trimming hair on crutches

Edward Scissorhands, bet he knows how to trim

Mac I miss my redline for that its so much fun when you get it just right on tiny little sliders in crystal clear water get in a crouch let your hand slide on the face take off from Lm and sometimes make it through to Gm

Thank god someone in here knows what trimming is,I was thinking I was in the wrong forum

Some of my most fun sessions have been trimming sessions at TeaTree Bay at Noosa, only me in the water, dead low tide, thigh high waves on the king sets, rolling through for 200m ending up at knee high sliders... Trimming the whole way!

Simo I think what is good about it is the pressure is off unlike when the surfs big and you need to make snap decisions you have time to think, contemplate and smile and have a chat waiting for a slider one of the best surfs I have had was with Mac and Chrispy at The Pass it was jump on a slider step off at Clarkes walk around chat laugh then do it again

That was a great day boofy

Nothing mate I've still got his 10 footer

You've had that for a while now so I guess it's yours.

He must be due back soon.

Where abouts is he these days Mac

You ought to get one made up Mac. Maybe a Redline with a round pin or a Gleave Model . You'll get hooked on it for sure.
