Yea, felt good under the feet. Re 2:10 - he knew I was there but wouldn't get off. Knew he was going to cut back so went close so he had nowhere to go.
Just found your channel dude and may I say thanks for sharing, I started surfing 3 years ago aged 55 and decided to start a RUclips channel to watch my progress, looking forward to watching more of your channel dude and just subscribed
Congrats for the video. I started surfing in 1976, I did good for a long time, but age is geting a problem know, at 63 yo (back hurts!!). But is nice seeing not so young guys stll performing.
That guy who blatantly dropped in on you what an absolute clown even better we all got to see his face while doing it . Awesome video by the way ripping uncle 🤙🤙
I hope I still surf like you when I'm 60!!! I watched your twinnie vid, What has been your favorite twin+trailer board? I've hated twin fins every time I've tried them but I have been considering giving them another go on a 2+1 setup
I only have one set: Futures Fins T1 Honeycomb Twin Fin 2 + 1. Neutral template, Medium, Fiberglass/Honeycomb. Very happy with them. Always use with the trailer for stability.
My Shadow XL is really for 4 - 8ft. The CI Happy Every Day is meant to be for 2 - 6ft. A bit of a cross over, but really different boards for different conditions. More likely to ride my Shadow in 6ft, but won't really know until I try the CI HED in surf that size.
what is it a 6'1 ? ...I got the 6'2 version..its pretty versatile, im closer to 85 kgs and my 6'2 Happy Everyday is 37 litres ,,,I can surf it in small or big and it has the volume to still catch all wave sizes even when in a 4'3 steamer. Even though looks like a meat axe it still moves around like a performance shortboard......Id love to try a JS daily driver and move down one or two litres into an easy rider Monsta 10 or Xero gravity but not in a rush as dont expect life changing difference. I can surf the Happy everyday from 0.5 feet to overhead and a bit,,,,,,,,if gets bigger I got an old sweetspot 2.0 6'8 to use as a step up. Actually what were your 4 other daily driver options ?
Stock 6'1" x 2 5/8 x 20.5 at 35.1l. The other options were the Pyzel Mini Ghost, Lost Uber Driver XL, JS Xero Gravity and the Sharpeye Inferno 72. I also liked the look of the Xero Gravity, but it seems a touch more high performance and I was after a standard daily driver.
My experience with Channel Islands shortboards is that they’re typically pretty high performance and sensitive/reactive boards. Not the easiest to surf.
The CI happy Every Day is certainly performance oriented with its attributes, but I personally didn't find it hard to surf. I've yet to try it in a range of wave sizes and conditions, but it does seems to ft into that slot of the daily driver. I'll know more a couple of months from now.
Nice lil surf on that board bro, your first wave showed how loose it was. I like that loose feel of a squash or square tail. Even though it was small you could still get on rail near the pocket. Cant wait to see what it surfs like in bigger surf. What sized fins did you have on?
Had the JJF Signature Techflex - Neutral, Large. They worked good but will try same fins but Medium to see what they're like. I'm looking forward to trying it out in bigger surf for sure.
@tui_ruwhiu_wavecomms that's awesome bro. I haven't experimented much with fins but definitely want to get large, cos I'm a bit of a bigger fulla I'm hoping I won't slip out as much on my bottom turns, but I love how loose it is on the lip. Look forward to more content brother, love your mahi.

great wave and looks like you synced with the CI Happy every day really fast! Also, wow nerves of steel at 2:10 - looked like a close call!

You're welcome. Keep at it!
when I saw your first riding, I just smash the subscribe burton! 😎
Appreciate it.
Beautiful. Cheers from the other side of the world in Lisboa.
Thanks. Enjoyed your city, too. Didn't get any good surf while I was there, though.
Pops is ripping. Those conditions at my end would be a great day.🤙
:-) Conditions were lovely - offshore, with peaks up and down the beach. Waves were small and gutless, unfortunately.
@@tui_ruwhiu_wavecomms but for us beautiful you guys are blessed 🙌
Right on, nice waves!
Cheers.
Great video mate 👍
Thanks
Thanks.

Great vid. I surfed east. Wasn’t as clean but had beach to myself 😂
Thanks. There were uncrowded spots at the beach, too.
I hope I still surf like you when I'm 60!!!

@@logantaueki9149 I'm 180cm, 82kgs, so not small, not big. I like stiff fins so fiberglass suits me best so far. Cheers!
@tui_ruwhiu_wavecomms yeah I float somewhere between 100-110kg. Might be 95kg after a toothache lol.
@@logantaueki9149 :-)
Ripping!
