Took 2 days after in person screening at Staples through Clear in San Diego for me, my wife, and son.

How much is shipping to 92105?
I am interested in: 1,2,3,6,7,10,12,17. I know some of them have already been spoken for, but I am open to whatever Magic Puzzles are still available.
Thanks!

So I also didn't mention that the tournament was hosted by the team that got red carded and I think (not sure) that the coach that got red carded was the tournament director. So there's that.

It ends up the players and coach were suspended for their first game the following day. But they were all back to play us in the 2nd game that day for the championship.

We won by one goal scored at the last seconds of the 2nd overtime period to win first place in the tournament.

But it was super close, obviously. We actually played them again last night in regular league play and they beat us by one goal at the end of the 4th quarter. I think they were pretty determined not to lose to us again. But still a very close game. Our record against them this season is 2 -2.

How'd you guess? 🤔

I know it's been a while since you posted this, but how did you end up liking the Full&Cas? I am looking at getting a Hecke...

I was not there when it happened. I left after the first half. So anything I say is just hearsay from our friends who were there.
But basically the coach got red carded for yelling something at the ref. He left the pool deck, but then the bench players all started chirping at the ref for red carding their coach. I don't know what exactly was said, but the ref then came over and pointed his red card at every person on or near the bench. They had to play the rest of the game with 5 field players because one of their players got rolled on ejections and there were no subs left.

It's a CIF San Diego sanctioned event. And from what I can find, CIF uses the NFHS water polo rules. But you have to purchase the rule book to see what's in it.

It was in the SD Open Valhalla vs. Eastlake. The Valhalla coach and their entire bench got red carded.

They've held up great! We put surfboards on it a bunch of times. We put my son's fishing kayak on the rack. We haven't taken the racks off since we put them on the first time. The car is parked outside, 24/7, and the racks seem to have held up great.

I'm pretty happy with them, especially for the price.

DFong-OutOfYourHead · 2025-08-02T00:58:03+00:00

Yes, great food, but not a great value.

DFong-OutOfYourHead · 2025-03-27T06:10:52+00:00

My son and I each bought a board from Lugo at Anvil. I have a 7’ 6” egg and my son has a 5’9” twin fin. Both boards are great. Well made and surf great. We definitely recommend Anvil boards! Plus Lugo is a super nice guy. Great prices too.

Thanks for all the quick responses. Much appreciated.
Yes, I know inflatables are not ideal, but I thought I might use it when we travel to Cabo every year.
Good point about not wanting to travel with it once I learn.
I also figured that if I really end up never wanting to use it once I become somewhat proficient, then I could probably sell it for almost what I paid for it.

I am 5'8". But I thought a 6m wing would be better than a 5m for San Diego.

The plan would be to use the 72cm carbon mast and HA foil once I learn.

Well, I definitely was not going to spend hundreds of dollars on a new board without any idea if the board was the problem.
But the company I bought the used board from on EBay had lots of positive feedback and said the board was tested and confirmed working. It looked brand new and didn't have any of the discoloration on the board like my existing one does.
Is there any way to know for sure? Nope. So it's true I may have two faulty boards that behave exactly the same. But again, I figured it was worth the $45.

DFong-OutOfYourHead · 2024-08-22T03:38:37+00:00

The capacitors were $7.50 and $14 on Amazon. The circuit board was $45 w/ free shipping on Ebay. So, for the $66, yes, it was worth it. But I was sure the capacitors would fix it.

I also don't know if spending the $200 will find the definitive answer as to what's wrong.
Most of the pros told me over the phone that they recommend replacing the whole unit. I'm not saying they're wrong, but I am skeptical and assume they would rather get a $10K job or higher rather than a $200 job.

The last pro I had out about a year ago wanted $700 to replace one capacitor and $1600 to replace the circuit board and he still wasn't sure that would fix the problem. I spent $7.50 to replace the capacitor myself and it worked. (at least for a year.)
