getting barrelled vs pitted vs shacked

The only thing that is different is a head dip that I know. Maybe some of the others are like local words for spots when they came up with them.

 

For me, slotted is as you described pitted, where you're right in the pocket, technically in the tube but not too deep...pitted is deep...also, for my own conceptual purposes, slotted=cover up, whereas barrelled=pitted(so pitted)=shacked.

And for my own personal vernacular, I like to call it the Confession Booth.

 

What about getting some shade?

 

Man that's better for you Fla guys w/ your sun and your 50+ degree water right now

 

In Northern Maine they call it rock salting the malt barley.

 

I'm always partial to Ben Stiller in Fair Bits telling Taj he "...only goes out when it's double overhead, so Daddy can spend some quality time in the green room."

 

60 + ( I like 'the green room')

 

Pocket: tight curvy part of the wave; not necessarily inside the barrel. You can turn in the pocket.
Cover-up: a quick "cover-up" section or partial barrel; usually in a smaller wave. Aka: slotted
Barreled/Pitted/Shacked/Kegged: a full on barrel; completely inside the wave. You disappear from view from the beach.
Tuberide: a prolonged barrel; a weaving, winding barrel ride requiring adjustments of speed and trim. The Holy Grail of surfing.

 

Yeah, my boss at work just moved here from Texas and went to the beach and ended up getting 1st degree burns and ended up in the ER getting lotion and wrapped up. Had to take the week off because he couldn't put shoes on his blistered feet! Amateurs...

Water about 69-70 at my spots, not to brag, just throwing it out there HAHA

 

seldom summed it nicely, slotted is like in the mouth, lip over your head but not behind the curtain, the other two are like wwwaaaapash!

 

as Christian fletcher once said,if u came out the barrel ,u weren't deep enough.

my question is,what do u do when u exit the barrel or ur riding the wave and it starts closing out at the end.
do u
a.straighten out
b.punch through the wall
or
c.pull in

I like to pull in for the heck of it.always good to get covered up and u never know,u might just make it.getting worked is fun,but not in the winter.barrels are the reason we all surf.i was terrified of the ocean when I was young.then I slid down a wave and been addicted since.i need rehab

 

Just watch some people coming out of the barrel at pipe. Their deeper than you'll ever be in your close out. It's wave type. Riding in and then Coming out is the best part. I don't see how getting worked is fun. More macho b.s. Especially in bigger stuff.

 

Haha! "you hawaiin h@@r!!!"

 

This thread makes me stoked to be near Honeyton next week. Just pull in and get spit right out again.

LBCrew FTW as usual. Been in the pocket handfuls of times and I cherish them all. The key for me is keeping a wide sight line so I know I'm in these good spots the rare times I am after a drop in. On the EC, it's not often clean enough on the face and spitting at the same time. Out west, I'm happy to make the drop and get down the line, which takes most of my awareness and when I do make it my speed is higher than normal with the wave's projection power. You guys who've spent so many years at this where you are confident enough in your fundamentals to the point of being able to focus 2-3 steps ahead and really respond to the wave is what I'm working to get to. That's got to be a complete blast every sesh.

Been covered up a few brief times and that's been serendipitously divine. Shacked? Only on my stomach being too late for takeoff or when trying to get to my feet late on the Pacific. I figure I'm getting thrashed anyway so I ought to start getting the timing down where I'm in a standing position mentally recording at least hundredths of a second of green solitude prior to spin cycle. Does it feel similar when you get pitted and don't make it out as when you go over the falls on takeoff, just smacked from a different angle?

This forum is a house of learned doctors. Teach me the ways braddahs.

 

Sometimes it feels like a train wreck, sometimes it feels like water slide at Adventure Island, never know what your gonna get, that's part of the deal, just pray nothing gets snapped on your body or board

 

Heard that. I've had a low tide thrashing that snapped a board and nearly my spine. I know it's still gonna break where it's shallow and that many breaks are ruined at high tide, there's something that makes me feel safer hopping on a biggin at high tide.

Truth on different beatings feeling different. My unfavorite is when I'm all stoked for the rag dolling and confident in being the Dalai effin Lama resisting nothing through the wash and then the gnarl smacks the balls off you right when it hits. Goodbye composure, and once you treat it as a struggle it gets rough.

Keep up the barrell talk buoys.

 

For me, those three terms are basically the same.
The question is how deep, or, how pitted, how barreled, how shacked did you get?
Soooo pitted or regular pitted? Something like that, for me at least.

Long weaving shacks, "the holy grail of surfing"? Indeed.
Perhaps the holy grail of life? There's something pretty friggin special going on in there.
I keep many different versions of "the view" close to my heart.
