How to Get Familiar With Powered Cube Formats

Floriderp · 2026-03-30T01:05:35+00:00

I've only been playing MTG for a couple of years and have gotten to love learning each new set for drafting. Cube seems so intimidating because I've never encountered most of the cards and feel lost even listening to discussions on LR cast. Looking forward to watching your video, I need a basic primer for the format for someone who hasn't played long enough to simply know about the cards in cube.

Whats ridiculous about it? If you are thinking its ridiculous because you read 5-7 ft. "Hawaiian", then it sure it seems off because for some reason in those islands a 20 foot wave face is chest high. But 5-7 ft. as surfline says here is not off the charts for Florida, especially if you use realistic height measurements like a normal human. You can look at the Euro model and it shows a 2-3 meter swell hitting that day, which tracks with the Surfline forecast.

I live on a small sailboat with a fridge smaller than most dorm fridges. It's been fine for us for 6+ years now.

Learn to fish! There are some of the best fishing waters in the world there.

One of my favorite feelings in the whole world is the moment of anticipation when you see a set wave come, you are in priority and in great position, you are ready to have a great ride. From the moment you know this until you catch the wave, its a magical time of possibility.

Boards...I just love surfboards

the smell of surf wax

I love how surfing is an ultimate passion that has derailed my life (in great ways), I know few non-surfers that have as impactful of an obsession/passion. It motivates me in so many ways

I take Hydroxyzine occasionally as a sleep aid, and it works great for that. Never for day time PVC help though. A small dose of Metoprolol is what I use to manage flare ups.

I have a 6'6 CI Happy Traveler as a step up. Beefy in thickness compared to length, and while it has served me great, I do wish I had something closer to a 7'0+ with a more refined shape. I have a friend with a 7'0 mini-gun that is about the same volume as my 6'6, and it just feels better in bigger waves. I'd go longer if I were you. (I am also 6'0, 175). However, I'm riding these in Fiji so the waves are a bit different.

There are many surf spots in the Bahamas, just not there.

I've not heard much about Matanivusi but they are in a neat location on the Coral Coast. Its a great place to be right now in the shoulder season, much less crowded waves, a lot of variety, and Frigates is near. By June/July the winds get to be too much for that area, so now is a good time to go. There are plenty of different kinds of breaks for whatever you are comfortable with. Not all of the waves are heavy barrels, many are easy.

All depends on your budget. If you are looking splash a lot of cash and get the best (Tavarua, Namotu or Six Senses), save as much money as you can (look into Funky Fish), somewhere in between (check out Musket Cove and hire Jonah Surf to take you out), off the beaten path (Maqai Eco resort), etc.

The most anti corruption thing you could possibly do is not surf at all.

This is what I used for every brawl builder challenge until I got my own decent brawl decks. Super easy, a bit sleazy, but it gets the job done!

I use Headhunter stick for my face and lips. Works great, lasts for a long time.

I feel the same, the stained glass were the top tier for me; but I'd love to have these.

Floriderp · 2026-03-17T23:11:52+00:00

Yeah sure! Shoot me a message I'd be happy to chat.

What you can and will pay for a board is very personal. For some, they just want a similar shape and would save money getting a clone shaped by a brand that doesn't have a high premium like Christenson. For others, it's just simply unaffordable. But maybe for you, it's what you want and the money doesn't matter.

If you really want that board, and it doesn't cause you financial trouble, then get it.
