Best longboard for a beginner in small beach break?
Just moved to Cronulla and looking for my first proper longboard. Budget around $800. Anyone have recommendations for something forgiving?

Bondi this weekend — worth it?
Swell looks decent on the forecast but I've been burned before. Anyone surfed there recently?

Anyone done the Mentawai trip with Surf Sistas?
Looking at booking for September. Would love to hear from anyone who's done an all-women's surf trip there.

Scared of bigger sets — how did you get over it?
Been surfing 6 months and progressing well but I freeze when a big set comes. Looking for tips and solidarity!
