The small cove near my house breaks on the northerly outflow winds we have been having lately. Similar to the Beachclub. The wave at its best is 3' to 4' front side but is clean and runs for a fair distance. If you are more daring than I, the opposite side of the cove point has some larger spots but is very rocky. If you use your boat you might want to try the islands outside of Schooner. There are waves out there that break on both the northerlies and the usual south winds. Have fun. </p> http://islandlongboards.com/forums/topic.php?id=10#post-25 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 01:02:02 +0000 mikewalker 25@http://islandlongboards.com/forums/ <p>Hey hows it going, i've been surfing a break near the beachclub resort in parksville bc only surfable a few times a week but does the trick on a long board.

I'm an ex-pat returning to the Island for a couple weeks at the end of July. Just wondering if anyone was up for some exploring to find some good points. I realise it's not the best time of year. However two years ago I found a couple of sweet reefs off of Nootka in July. It was 4ft+ and light winds. Awesome days. I live in Queensland, Australia.I am happy to split cost for hiring a boat to check out possible reefs and points. Anyone have some spots they've been considering let me know.<br /> Cheers<br /> Travis </p> http://islandlongboards.com/forums/topic.php?id=5#post-14 Sun, 31 May 2009 04:49:45 +0000 ssmmaann 14@http://islandlongboards.com/forums/ <p>Bamphibian<br /> I am gonna sound kind of amateur next to the shaper above, but 7s make a whole ton of boards with 5 fin boxes. The problem you'll have I believe though, is that if you want to ride a single fin, you'll need something with a "mal style" fin-box in the middle. Your avarage middle thruster fin wont be big enough to work on it's own. Unless you like things REAL loose. Once you start riding quads and twinnies it is weird going back to thrusters. </p> http://islandlongboards.com/forums/topic.php?id=5#post-13 Sat, 30 May 2009 20:06:11 +0000 Sean Morrison 13@http://islandlongboards.com/forums/ <p>Love the Bing Synchronizer, I fact so much I've duplicated it in a hollow wood construction for my daughter. I couldn't agree more in that the vesatility of a bonzer setup is increadibly appealing. My daughters is 6'4" and I am currently building another one 5'8" in length. Both boards are constructed of 100% re-claimed lumber for my daughters board and storm felled wood for the 5'8".<br /> Another great feature of the synchronizer is the fin box set-up. Bing has gone with Pro-Box fin boxes, and these fin boxes are the cats ass! The are compatible with pretty much any tab style fin...FCS, Lok-Box, or Futures to name a few...Also the fin boxes have inserts, allowing you to adjust your fin angles...0 degrees, 4,6 or 8 degrees...Anyways, good luck with yer search, just wanted to throw in my two cents worth, Bonzer is a good choice, almost like having a quiver all in one board!

Mostly I want the single fin or quad option for different conditions. I love the single fin feel but the quad gives that extra level of control ya know??</p> <p>The Bing Synchronizer looks great, but is super expensive... Any other boards out there that people could recommend? </p> <p>cheerio - </p> http://islandlongboards.com/forums/topic.php?id=4#post-10 Wed, 27 May 2009 22:49:59 +0000 Starkicker 10@http://islandlongboards.com/forums/ <p>Nice!
