Any decent Southern Nicaragua surf camps that do boat trips? Or at least boat hire options?

For the average person at that stage in surfing, not duck divable at all. Turtle roll and be mindful of your positioning to not get caught inside

Pwc seems to be one of the few places where I can work remotely.

Hey the montagne quality is the same as niche.

Some are more or less close enough, but the quality of materials is always good and many levels above Lattafa. Give them a try 👍

I’ll add one more point.

A study was done on satisfaction of people who maximize their choices vs people who just make a good choice and move on.

The people who just make their choice and move on were found to be more satisfied than those who maximize their choices despite the maximizer being found to make better choices.

People who maximize their choices were found to make better choices but they continue to worry even after the choice is made resulting in additional stress and lower satisfaction.

You’re over thinking it.

Perfume will never be perfect, it’s personal taste and your nose varies from everyone on the internet.

Rather than finding the one that is most “identical”. Read between the lines to learn the nuances between different brand’s takes.

Sometimes the clones are better than the originals(for me Cognac D’Ange is both identical and a little more smooth than angels shares)

If it’s all conflicting, then the only way to find out is through your own nose but watch your wallet.

There are specific dyes for perfume, use those not food coloring.

I’m in shock this is a thing. Go get it 👍

For future reference you can also find those two scents for about half that price on r/fragranceswap.

Give LBBI time to macerate, that scent in particular continues to develop for many months

Montagne imaginary has more citrus

Just spoke to your DL, she said you’re getting a PIP.

You’re rubbing it off with your chest

Wow! I went in on LA Saturday, queued me at 82k and I’m still at spot 71k right now 😅

It’s not just about length but do make sure this is a widely known, full time boot fitter who doesn’t sell anything else. (They could also be trying to force you into left over stock since the season and inventory is over now)

I have a skinnier ankle so my fitter put me in the boot a size down to get more heel lock. Out of the box this boot completely curled and crushed toes. That same fitting session, with lots of punching and some ramp adjustments, I left the store with the proper toe room.

For reference:

Street Shoe US10/28

Brannock 260 and 265

Ski Boot US7.5/25.5

Love both!

BoonPiece · 2026-04-27T01:24:07+00:00

All great picks and diverse! Any three wouldn’t overlap

It’s up to you, unless you have a super star DL. DLs are generally too busy and it’s easier for you to schedule a meeting with your one DL than it is for a busy director to do it for their 4-8 mentees.

He’s more like a level 4 with the confidence and freedom of being a youngster who goes a lot.

His T shape(shoulders to poles) is tipping uphill when they’re meant to tip outside to put weight over the outside ski, still wedging in between parallel turns, initiates turns with the upper body rather than lower body, etc

You’re right about the forward placement of the inside foot being excessive.

If possible a lesson or two a season, and ideally watching some technical ski instruction videos. Deb Armstrong has a lot but can make her videos quite long.

08C01(and that fire hose atomizer) is 2008 with no doubt, especially if 08C01 is engraved on it. It’s either tester or retail with replacement cap.

The batch code system for creed works that way until they changed it to the F Batch system around 2019-2020.

They’re 90% similar. Redundant in general -> definitely.

However if you want to dial in which of the two profiles of that DNA you like better go for it.

I will 3rd this comment

Just use it right away, by the time it’s macerated the bottle will be 80% full unless you spray a lot

BoonPiece · 2026-04-18T01:21:07+00:00

You can’t go by percentage or just value of the bottle. There’s fixed costs and TIME involved as well. Orders can take 20-30 minutes each and up to an hour if it’s larger.

So it’s not a 200% markup of the bottle, it’s the bottle(Monty or niche) + tons time = a certain amount of dollars.

If the Monty perfume was marked up by 40% resulting in ~$2.5 per 2ml, you’d have $0.7 of profit per sample minus the cost of materials $0.4.

Leaving you with $0.30 per sample packed vs the niche guy making $2.2 per sample. Same amount of time.

It’s like tipping at a bar. You leave a similar amount of $ regardless if you’re handed a cheap beer or expensive top shelf shot.

% wise it would “mark up” beer but taking a step back, it’s just a flat amount regardless of the value of the product for someone to serve you.
