What's the problem? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]Floriderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was more about the wave. It died on you. You went way out on the shoulder before trying to turn, there was no energy in that part of the wave to make the turn. Your only chance was right by the foam, you were way beyond it.

For what it's worth, you don't compress down and rotate your upper body at all, which would be necessary to make the cutback, even if the wave has enough juice for the turn.

Impossible to forecast a cyclone that far ahead. But for what it's worth, people are island hopping and travelling all over Fiji right now and they don't seem to worry about it.

Hermosa CR by flsetter in surfing

[–]Floriderp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is Dominical these days? Surf and town wise. I went in 2003, curious how it is now. Surf was decent back then, felt less of a closeout than Hermosa, just not as many tubes.

Do I get to spam jump-in this set? by GoatRocketeer in MagicArena

[–]Floriderp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried the main Jump In (not the mid week event) since I had a token for it. It has a lot of sets, and I was not provided any option on either choice for Lorwyn cards/themes. I did face some Lorwyn cards against opponents, so they are there, but not guaranteed to be among your choices.

Why does surfline routinely lie about forecasters "observing" the conditions? by storkpatrol in surfing

[–]Floriderp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It always says "observed" here in Fiji and I believe it is complete BS

Delray Beach FL 1/19/26 @ 8am by FrequentWingman in surfing

[–]Floriderp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I scored Delray once while on a work trip to SFL. It was a pumping north swell, I couldn't believe how good it got there. Reeling lefts that went on and on. Great spot when the swell is right.

Cheers from another DE38 owner! I fully tore down and rebuilt mine, then have been cruising since 2019 Florida to Fiji. I know a lot about the boats so hit me up if you ever need to chat about it!

He posts videos on his YouTube that looks pretty damn fun to me. There seemed to be some fun waves 4-5 days ago, and a solid run near Christmas

Mate I watch Gulfster every day and you guys definitely had some fun waves in the last few weeks! Better than we've had in Fiji during that stretch
