I bought my first Diverse Surfboard about 3 years ago. It is a 6'2x18
1/4x2 1/4 rounded pin DS model. I was visiting family on
the Gold Coast and had a look between Surfers and Coolangatta for first
of all a good store that I felt comfortable that I could ask any silly
question and get constructive advice and a good selection of boards.
Well I found that store. I walked out fully decked out with board, bag,
fins, leggy and accessories for a good price.
I still have that board and have surfed it on the Goldy, all the way
down to South Coast NSW where I used to live. SW WA where it actually
handled Margaret River better then expected. I now currently live in
Perth and it even handles well in the ordinary beachies we predominately
get here.
I was back on the Gold Coast visiting my kids and family about 2 months
ago. I had a NW WA surf trip coming up and thought while I was here I
would see if i could find a suitable board to take there.
I was so happy with my 6'2 i thought I would see if I could get the same
shape but in a bigger board as I would’ve needed it up there.
With advice I was happy with I purchased a model DT
6'8x19x2 5/8 rounded pin. A beautiful looking board as it had been a
while since I had purchased a new board. I had a smile on my face for
weeks in anticipation of taking her for her first ride up North.
Always a bit dubious about the first wave, wandering how it will handle
I went straight on my first wave as I threw myself into a 6' wave on
this fantastic left hand break surfing on my backhand. I didn't mean to
go straight but I think it was a reaction to not knowing how the board
would handle. It handled fantastic. So smooth. I instantly gained
confidence with my new beast under my feet. And as the swell hung around
for the rest of our 8 day desert stay, I got to nurture my style in
perfect long left hand barreling waves and with a board under my feet
that gave me confidence. I am in anticipation for taking it to Margs.
If I had the money Id have one of every type of board you have. Maybe
when I get the mining job i'm after to pay for them.
Cheers for the great boards!!

| Maldives Swell Journal June 6-24, 2010. |
| Hello again from Hudhuran Fushi Island in the Maldives. We have enjoyed yet another great run of waves and weather. I'm sitting here sun-burnt, surfed out, and very, very satisfied, trying to find a different way to say that, once again the Maldives has delivered. It's been pumping! Our World Surfaris guests have surfed every day for as long as I can remember, though there were a couple of not so good days with small swell and bad weather back around June 9 and 10, but generally it has been a very good few weeks. The wind has been very light so we have been able to surf everywhere. The boats have been going North and South and scoring too many times to isolate individual sessions. The last swell built gradually - We had a week of it picking up daily from 2-3 ft sheet glass to 3-4ft to 4-6ft to an epic peak on June 18 and 19, now it's dropping off slowly. I find that guests are way more confident when the conditions improve slowly over a number of days, rather than going from shoulder high to double over-head over night. More than once I was told "that was the biggest/best wave of my life" by very happy guests. We have had a great group here this week, I must mention "the Zilla's" who managed to break out of the stereotype to such an extent that the Aussies wanted to surf every session with them. Also Poppie, from Snapper, who at 60yrs old was paddling into set waves up at Cokes. He was here with his son Dazza who had to leave a few days earlier than his old man. "you'll look after him aye, Rich?" he said to me during a session up at Cokes, I replied "no worries Dazza!" and promptly called the charging grandpa into one of the thickest sets of the day! Poppie made the air drop and made it to the channel in one piece, then paddled back out and gave me a roasting for not having been on the boat to get a photo! He's now known as "Air drop Pop" to all!! Inspirational stuff. |
