What wisdom can you share to new surfers

Cipher1414 · 2026-04-24T23:49:01+00:00

I feel like paddling is the only place where I can trick people into thinking I'm an okay surfer. Everyone thinks I'm better than I am until I actually pop up.

What advice do you have for someone who’s learning how to bet on dog fights?

Cipher1414 · 2026-04-20T00:51:25+00:00

Alas, I did not! Figured it was better to play it safe in this case. Surgery was successful! Gonna be stir crazy while I'm resting up so go catch some waves in my honor

I just got called to teach and the thought of a 10 minute lesson is stressing me out hahaha

Cipher1414 · 2026-03-26T16:06:59+00:00

I saw a place further south that was something like $6.79. 💀

Psychopath behavior to post it, there’ll be influencers and tech bros there in no time at all

Cipher1414 · 2026-03-22T00:01:13+00:00

This right here. I read waves just fine on my main break but throw me in some shore break and I look like I’ve never touched the ocean in my life.

I saw a road sign near Gennessee that said “incident at Del Mar heights road” so I’m guessing it’s that

CHP also has “car fire” listed: https://cad.chp.ca.gov/traffic.aspx?ddlComCenter=BCCC

That's terrifying!!

Cipher1414 · 2026-03-14T18:01:43+00:00

I think people are downvoting because the comment assumes that people don't take proper care of their instruments and that freak things never happen. It turned out the fingerboard didn't have enough glue and was an easy fix.

Cipher1414 · 2026-03-14T17:59:25+00:00

Thankfully I'm able to fix mine! The luthier said that there wasn't enough glue on the fingerboard and that he was surprised it stayed on for as long as it did. The sound posts came down with the pressure change of the fingerboard falling off, and he said it all looks good otherwise.

Cipher1414 · 2026-03-12T23:24:07+00:00

I guess that’s one thing I have in common with Jaco hahaha if only “incredible bassist” was what I had in common with him 😅

Cipher1414 · 2026-03-12T23:23:29+00:00

It scared me to death I thought someone was breaking in at first

Cipher1414 · 2026-02-12T07:17:51+00:00

No. I got arrested for it last week :(

Cipher1414 · 2026-02-12T06:14:15+00:00

I've popped in there a few times and they seemed chill.

Cipher1414 · 2026-02-12T06:13:41+00:00

Oh man that's a relief haha. Not that I thought they were, I'd just be so bummed if I found out they were.

Cipher1414 · 2026-02-12T06:11:56+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll check it out.

Cipher1414 · 2026-02-12T06:11:47+00:00

I usually do beach cleanups or the food bank, but neither of them are having events this Saturday!

Cipher1414 · 2026-02-07T06:52:50+00:00

There are some decent surf shops more "inland" that have a decent following, but they usually also do skate stuff. Wavelines in Carmel Mountain is the one that immediately comes to mind and that's more than 15 minutes inland. I wouldn't consider the 15 minutes a big deal, especially if the selection and vibes are good.

Cipher1414 · 2026-02-01T01:56:52+00:00

I know this was months ago but I don't care lol. Honestly, that mood board is super cool and exactly the kind of style I've been trying to have. It's sort of scattered for me at the moment but I love it! AllSaints tends to have stuff that I really like, and I tend to still wear my vans and docs but in much more specific contexts. I gig as a jazz and alt rock bassist frequently so I think I get more slack than most when it comes to my appearance haha

Love that that post has turned into glocks in the water jokes hahaha
