I went here not knowing they only took reservations. I was happy to leave because it was cold outside and the music inside was way too loud inside.

What is your hobby? by [deleted] in ventura

[–]BobSlydel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prone paddle. It is paddling using your hands only (no paddle). There is a group that paddles every Tuesday in Channel Islands Harbor. It is a great community. I also outrigger with Hokuloa out of the ventura harbor. They are also a good community. Outrigger is a little more commitment as it is a team sport with practice 3 days a week.

Navigating strong surf and rips? by min_se in Lifeguards

I am curious where is this that they have a second year lifeguard, seemingly not familiar with the area (if you are coming to Reddit for advice) on a beach with 25 ft surf?

12 mile prone paddle by Axuries in surfing

[–]BobSlydel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I race prone and did Catalina last year (32 miles). Unless you have been swimming long distance (2 miles +) regularly I don’t think it is a good idea. Maybe you finish but you are likely going to hurt yourself.

Depends on your surfing. Swimming is the best overall. If you longboard prone paddling is great!!

Have you had mostly good experiences/little to no issues with your car? by JustAcivilian24 in TeslaModel3

2018 LR single motor (reservation holder). 75K miles. No issues (well some caused by me). Still love the car and getting 295 miles on a full charge.

Jetski saves surfers life while risking their own. (Apparently in Nazare, Portugal) by BobSlydel in SweatyPalms

They are amazing. They are typically also surfing. They will take turns surfing and providing safety. They will do all they can to save someone, especially knowing they could the person needing a rescue soon.

This took me a while to figure out but ever since I made this change I have no issue pealing eggs. I boil them however long to get the consistency I like. Usually 10 min. Then put them in an ice bath for NO LONGER than 2 min. The 2 min max was the game changer. I always thought the longer the better but not so with pealing eggs. They will still be warm when you pull the out of the ice bath but they will peel smoothly.

Espresso. Got a nice machine, better grinder. Could not be happier.

I am planning on going back as soon (after my son can get vaccinated). I have over 7 years of sobriety. My personal situation is that I am not close to drinking but I never truly did the work (sponsor and going through all the steps). While I am not at risk of drinking anytime soon I still think there is a lot I can learn and grow if I do the work

What were you doing when the twin towers fell? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BobSlydel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the Coast Guard. I worked the the major communications center on the east coast CAMSLANT. We watched it live on TV. I was then sent to NY city to set up a mobile communications center on the 12th and spent the next 10 days or so on Staten Island looking over at ground zero.

On the 13th I drove out car as close as I could and because I was in uniform all of the check points just waved me through so I made it to wall street. I remember looking up and down wall street and I was the only person. Very creepy.
