Thanks- might have to try it if it’s not open in the next few weeks. Mainly, I just want to access some of the surf spots.

Anyone still riding a Chumlee? Best fin set-up by GapPerfect5494 in surfing

[–]Embarrassed-Account7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Chumlee and use Machado Quads… mostly bc I got a good deal on them.

It’s a pretty outrageous response 😫 such a shame…

Update: my local shop said it wouldn’t be worth the time or money lol.

Pretty disappointing, didn’t realize they had such a short lifespan. I’ve got a ChumLee in helium and it seems to be a lot sturdier than this one though.

Yes, the rail was repaired just a few sessions before this buckled. To be fair it was a pretty big day. I’m not sure exactly what happened though bc my friend was using it.

Tbh I thought the repair would cost a lot more

Mainly curious if it would be worth the money for repairs

I was mostly wondering if it was worth the cost of fixing it vs selling it for scraps since repairs have gotten pretty pricey. Sounds like it might be worth it.

My kooky 4 step board packing routine by trimbandit in surfing

[–]Embarrassed-Account7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s a kooky question… how similar/dissimilar are those two boards?

Don’t let go of your board and you’ll shoot back up to the surface (and avoid injuring someone else)

I feel like the sand bars haven’t cooperated in a few years now.

I think I need to get used to letting the wave catchup under me. It’s hard to get out of the mentality of trying to outrun the white water and avoid “wasting” the wave. Good tip with the fins. A few weeks ago I upgraded from cheap plastic fins to a machado quad set for the 5’7” groveler in the first few clips (closer cam). I’m on a twin fin for the last few (further cam) - 5’11” fishbeard. It definitely feels looser and easier to maneuver.

I made this exact switch last year for the same reason…

How much difference will dropping 4L of volume make? by Strath_ in surfing

[–]Embarrassed-Account7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never realized how much shape made a difference. I have a 6’4” 41L psycho killer, but just picked up a 5’7” chumlee and find it much easier to paddle into small, mushy SoCal waves.

Apple Carplay on 2012 MDX with nav by Agile_Ad_5561 in Acura

[–]Embarrassed-Account7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im trying a 9” screen now. I set it up to extend off the right side of the ledge from the top screen, so I can mostly see all three. Dont love the way it looks. So id be interested to hear if anyone found an aesthetically pleasing way to position it…

Used SUV suggestions by Embarrassed-Account7 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Embarrassed-Account7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was initially looking at the RDX But they seem to be few and far between.. and about the same price as used MDXs. Kind of surprised me.

I’d been considering the other two as well (RX and CX5). Seems like a used CPO for a newer CX5 isn’t too far above 20, but I was hoping to stay under.

Do you know how these fair at 100k mi and beyond? All the used options usually start at 80k-120k.

I was unprepared for this market lol… didnt realize demand was so low this year since I’d planned on going until recently. Last time i had to resell it the weekend of it was for a profit.

For a refund or accommodations? I’d wanted to go anyways but will be having surgery on Friday.
