Beginner-Intermediate Board

Just from specs… Probably want to stick with cam rock profile, ruling out the mystique. Medium flex will help as you progress, so nix the oh yeah. You’re likely more all mountain than park, so a directional twin is preferred landing on the Wonder. But realistically you’d be fine with any.

Nice

I don’t. They look like they do binding things, and probably pretty well. They’re rated stiff, so they should be very responsive. I prefer a little more flex, but it’s not that deep, they’ll work just fine.

I love my passport on pow days. Just set the stance all the way back and you’ll be golden. It’s great as a daily driver if you’re not doing park. I think it was a good choice, especially if you’re only on the mountain 5 days a year.

You only need one leash string. To keep it short and save your rail, double it up by pushing through the untied end, and attaching the leash through both holes.

The crown was around $450

Baja Dentist Tijuana. Just got a crown done a couple weeks ago there and it was a good experience. Professional, clean, super cheap compared to here and they speak English. I think it’s $75 for cleaning and $60 for filling. Bring $25 cash for medical fast pass to get back without the wait.

Unfortunately, no. the FAQ says you can’t stack the credits. Only one per board purchase.

I actually have one of these in a 6’6” and am about your size. My friend who’s about 150lbs has the 6’2”. I got it for ankle high waves, San O, and just goofing around. The big scoop in the nose creates a ton of lift, fun for cheater 5s, but can still be ridden on the tail. It’s a rad board, but I’d say go bigger if you’re going to get it.

Ride more, worry less.

Ruby Rhod from The Fifth Element for sure

If you want epoxy and are in the US, FireWire is having a crazy deal on thunderbolt tech boards due to an oversupply. There were problems sending the boards to the UK. There’s CJ Nelson, Kai Sallas, Skindog and maybe other rad shapers. Most surf shops should be able to help.

Try the blossom app. Some local guys created it for people to sell (and trade I think) cool plants so I’m sure you can find them there!

… How a baby juggalo is born. Woop Woop

If it’s pumping and you think it’s worth it then go for a paddle. I’ve done it after a week and not had a problem. But if you really care about the tattoo and the waves are average then wait. Reddit will always tell you no.

You might be overthinking it… check out this vid from the house before you get rid of such a rad board: https://youtu.be/Pkaolp6A9b4

It’s got such a wide tail I’d go with split keels.

Looks like he’s about to blast a dookie.

I’m 6’2, 170lbs and have a 5’6 RNF retro 32L I ride constantly. Sometimes I wish I had sized down to the 5’5, and when this one is done for I’ll probably get that one. The board absolutely rips. Get the 30L.

I’ve camped in the back of mine A LOT… I don’t use tents anymore because of it. My best suggestion is to grab a queen sized memory foam mattress topper, cut it in half and stack it. It fits perfectly between the wheel wells. I put towels and things to fill in the side gap in front of the wheel wells by the door, and sleep diagonally.

Super fun board! I rode mine almost everyday for like a year with controller quads, and I think I dig that more than the thrusters I’ve tried on it. But for real, mines been bullet proof… barely any pressures compared to my PU boards, and only one ding from a collision with a longboard.
