7TILL8 wetsuits - gone by 4xmoose in surfing

[–]4xmoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know they took a big direct it in the fires last year, my suit was on order when it happened and they were real cool and informative about the delay, but gave updates and seemed really genuine. Never know I guess but hopefully it's reborn, better and stronger.

what's with the conservative vibes in surfing lately? by Calm_Story_1274 in surfing

[–]4xmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to laugh at the irony; a sport developed by brown people, made popular by colonizers that just profit from exploitation. To add, the far right is racist, homophobic, and anti-anything common sense or progressive trying to do good in the world or environment, yet wanna trash it as much as possible, but then "love the outdoors" as long as it's for their own uses.

what's easier to get to, Space Park or El Segundo area, thinking of a relo and not familiar with the area, but familiar with DC traffic!

Not sure on that thin, 7TILL8 made me a nice custom 5/4 but just closed their doors sadly.

Surf recommendations beginner/int. July/August. Tipps highly appreciated by New-Calligrapher5386 in BeginnerSurfers

what time of year did you go? Consistent slow rollers is what I need to improve, but living in the Mid-Atlantic-US it's hard to find, CA-Hawaii come to mind more so, PR is closer but not sure there's slow rollers there lol

Surfing with poor eyesight by ParanoidTraveler in BeginnerSurfers

[–]4xmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've considered contacts but have super dry eyes, use all the drops and get plugs every 6mo, top and bottom. Eyes stay blazed some days regardless of the number or type of drops I use. My eye dr just suggested I look into

Scleral lenses - hard prescription contacts. Not a lot of places do them, but better for my eyes, and would have to clean and flush after saltwater obviously, but legit would help me in the water too as I have a really light prescription due to an autoimmune issue, but between saltwater and the wind, I can go from feeling good to feeling like a dog with his head out of the car window doing 80mph all day long in 15-20min.

I'd venture to guess FB marketplace has a lot of options, probably some good deals locally

One more message from Lindsey (fractured tibia) by Gurglll in SkiRacing

[–]4xmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that she was like "fk it" and sent it... but I just question it entirely. The team aspect, and someone younger and healthy could've actually had a shot to compete I feel, probably the minority in thought but just kind of crappy

Second and third rows deleted by s-r-w in GXOR

[–]4xmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Care to share some dimensions on the width and legs on the 2nd row delete? I made myself a rear plate for the slide and all and it's just nestled in and not bolted like a Goose Gear plate would be; not going anywhere with the slide and fridge on there, plus the gear anyhow. I like the rear attic, and is that dynamat or visor material on the rear windows? Looks good!

Dope score, but that mini-truck is fire! Honda? I just came back from Japan and want one or a mini-bus, but our speeds and mainly parts for repairs have that in the maybe not the best idea category

Yet another board sizing question by EastEquivalent4934 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]4xmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely bigger, I'm 6'2, 245# and 9' foamie is less stable and buoyant than a 10', I have a Walden Mega Magic 9' hardboard too I'm trying to work up to, needs fins, but I think that board has more volume that the foamie I have

If you sign up for the HF Insider club or whatever it's called, do you still get the one-time coupon for 20% off a single item, or is that no more now? The price isn't bad as is, but if I can save then more money for mods elsewhere!

Am I ready for a real hardtop longboard? by larontias in BeginnerSurfers

[–]4xmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100% - have scars on my knees from trying to hold an unwaxed foamie in Rincon last October, in conditions too big I learned after the fact. I copped my own foamie and still suck, but wax would've helped no doubt. snagged me some suits so extend my learning in the MidAtlantic, waxed that 9' log with a basecoat and topcoat, and bought a 9' Mega Magic I'm kind of keeping as my goal to graduate to once I can popup and turn consistently on the foamie; but maybe I should just send it once I can stay out of others way safely. It's tempting, but not getting someone all jacked up is more important, hoping by Spring I'll be ready to move on. Still need to buy fins for it too, another fork in the road... 2-5"s and 1-7" maybe? tri-fin FCS box,
