Uploading photos?

We highly recommend 'imgur' for image hosting (http://imgur.com/). You don't even need to register with them (although if you do, it'll help you find previously uploaded files).

Simply upload a photo via the 'Computer' link on the RH column, follow the instructions and then copy the URL provided under 'Direct Link (email & IM)'.

Then in a forum thread, wrap the image URL with image tags, ie [img] and [/img].

For example, [img]http://_______[/img]

Nice - Good to see a Tail Patch both Sides
Has anyone here taken a New Board to a Wave Pool for its First Surf ?

Don’t leave a space between the h and the bracket, nor at the end before the closing brackets.

And if using webpage right click for ‘copy image address’
If using app use ‘copy post link’ not ‘copy link’
And it will have the i.imgur like this

My link above has .jpeg at the end and yours doesn’t when I look on the home screen so not sure where you got your link from.

I think because I was doing it from my phone I can’t right click and copy the image address I can only copy the link. I could try and add in the .jpeg but I have given up. Thanks for taking the time to respond

Sweet board anyway.
What are the dims? Looks good for a nice surf coast reef high line.

I use imgur app on phone so I can copy the write link. And just the web page on the computer.

That brewer looks good on the wall too. I assume that’s at the joymill shed.

You’ve got a keen eye, yeah it’s out of the joymill shed. Dims are 6’8” 21” 3 1/16 I think about 45 litres.
Just starting on the asym journey, this will be my second one and first custom. Excited for the next swell
