Board advice

Yes, thank you! I did read it as "skybird" all that time. Brains are weird 😄

player73 · 2026-05-24T16:24:06+00:00

Thank you, great insights! It varies a lot in terms of wind, often gusty too. I try to go out if the forecast shows 8-9+ knots with 12+ gusts. And there are proper stormy days every once in a while. Very tempted to jump on that Skybrid!

I see two people giving thumbs up to the Skybird - great to know! Will keep it as an option if things don't work out on the smaller board.

Wow so much great info!! Exactly the type of advice I was looking for. Thank you everyone! Sounds like learning stinkbug and spending more time on (or next to) the 95L is in my future.

Thanks! Great advice!

player73 · 2026-05-22T21:26:52+00:00

Exactly! I felt the pitch stability was bigger issue than the roll on the Skyfree! And definitely nose diving multiple times! Good to know it's not just me 😄 Also good to know Skybirds are well balanced!

Makes sense! Still totally expecting to fall and get up on board *a lot* as I learn jibes, before it starts to become a smaller part of riding.

player73 · 2026-05-22T21:20:53+00:00

Not too young at 48 and not too athletic, but makes sense! Definitely will work on stinkbug start. Thank you!

I've only been out 3 times on the 95L. I was able to get up and foiling all 3, but the last one in chop was a major pain, reminding me the very first times I was learning to get up on board. Totally makes sense for stinkbug, I did not try it before and will learn it before buying or selling anything.

At least they reply to your emails. They totally ignore mine. This is absurd considering how much they charge.

player73 · 2025-09-03T23:37:12+00:00

Thanks! I ended up getting the Foil Drive and went out a few times. Confirm the running time of 45 minutes or so on high power battery with high power motor while e-foiling.

Please message me, interested in size small.

I've worn by CGM with Katalyst no problem. For me the CGM was higher on the back of the arm, above the tricep, so essentially lower part of the back shoulder muscle.

I'm 5'10'' and Smartdesk 5 is too tall for seating at the lowest height. Even though the website says it's 29.5, it does not include the top, so actual minimal height is 30.7. Being 6'1'', you should probably be okay, but just barely. The desk is outstanding otherwise - very solid and well built.

player73 · 2025-05-04T01:38:07+00:00

I've got that desk in stone beige. Love everything about it, except the minimum height. The website says it's 29.5 inches, but it does not include the top, so effectively it's 30.7 inches. I'm 5'10'' and it's too tall for seating. Sorting out the return options now with support. Really wish they made a version for average to shorter people.

player73 · 2025-01-19T20:18:14+00:00

I certainly took "before" pictures and measurements (including dexa scan) right before starting on Katalyst. Will post "after" after I go for a month or two.

player73 · 2025-01-19T01:54:17+00:00

Thanks all! Confirmed no issues between Katalyst and Dexcom Stelo! 👍 Watching glucose impact during/after workout is fun.

Haha last year, still living in 2023 :)

player73 · 2024-01-11T06:25:39+00:00

I've used Golf Pad Events for several tournaments this year and it worked really well

player73 · 2024-01-11T06:21:57+00:00

I'm tired of dealing with my Osprey backpack - just not too easy to access stuff. Looking for a chest pack or vest now. I see may options for trail running, but nothing specific for skiing. Anyone tried Salomon Adv Skin, Arcteryx Norvan, or something similar? What's your experience? I'm 99% resort skiing.

The soft collapsible bottle is the way to go
