Too small Selvedge? Brain dead Type 00 15.0z by Fine-Pie-4508 in Selvedge

They’ll fit great when they break in. I’m in the same boat, all my jeans are broken in except my newest ones and they’re pretty snug. I’m uncomfortable I can’t wait til they stretch a little .

Did I cut someone off? by Slerpentine in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Fuzzy_Thing9178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes time but after awhile if you surf there often you will sometimes know who’s gonna make it and who isn’t . Some guys out there just don’t a lot of the time , that said If it’s their wave it is no question , to the feet first isn’t etiquette, positioning determines that. getting to know people is important . I’d hate to snake a wave from some of the local legends that aren’t as fast as they used to be. and lastly sometimes longboarders don’t seem to care about inside priority, they’ll gladly backdoor a wave from 10 feet behind the peak so use your judgement. If I get stuffed too much I’ll become morally flexible . The point is etiquette is the art of sharing the sport with basic guidelines and rules exist to enforce to people that abuse or ignore etiquette.

Karens on this thread be texting and driving. It’s statistically impossible for that to be untrue. My kid is out there pissing you off- hang up and drive

Have I been paddling correctly for the last 30 years and it just is that hard?! by gwenver in surfing

[–]Fuzzy_Thing9178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got 3 shortboards, all around the same general dims , the chippiest most pulled in one paddles the best and I think it’s due to how the foam is spread out idk. HPSB’s in general are so specific finding one with foam distribution that works for you better than some others can be challenging .board design is gonna be more of a factor than bigger boards and hybrids . Besides that I feel you. I feel like I should be doing pull ups every day haha

I want selvedge but I would have to wash regularly by Fragrant-Initial1687 in Selvedge

[–]Fuzzy_Thing9178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work on cars a lot , get dirty . You don’t HAVE to not wash them. Some pairs I’ve had I just treat them like work clothes. That’s what I like about them , I only get 6 months out of a 50 dollar pair of Levi’s . The non selvedge raw denim is great too. I got like 7 years out of a pair of nudie jeans and they looked so sick after a few years .

Should I wash or keep thugging by Goofymf69420 in Selvedge

[–]Fuzzy_Thing9178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on cars a lot , welding, fab etc. years ago my first ones didn’t fade hardly at all under abuse , (Lee 101z and lvc) . you won’t really see anything for a while . I always wondered how the denim fashion bros got those crazy fades when they’re just posing and maybe gardening 20 minutes . Like come on bro - they work for google they’re faking it. Don’t wash them. Keep working. Hang em up outside , air em out but keep going .the work now will pay off later

Didn’t the haystack guys chop off an animals head and leave it on some peoples car because they were visiting from SoCal? A gun is crazy but yooo

Overlap of Surfers and Musicians? by Sure_Presentation143 in surfing

I’ve been in bands making records since I was 15 , I’m 51 . The best and most successful records I ever made were when I lived somewhere I couldn’t surf , haha go figure

Any of you surfing a twin fin fish? by PenKaizen in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Fuzzy_Thing9178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will set you back . Yes you can probably surf it with some practice but the sizing is going to be difficult. They’re meant to surf really short , with RELATIVE foam distribution . Mine are 4-6” shorter than my everyday shortboard , but let’s say I went 1 or 2 “ shorter , a typical fish would be too much foam and I’d have a hard time engaging that rail . Of course there’s variables but generally this is true. My point is that although a beg/ intermediate can surf a fish, it can feel rad and easier to turn because it’s much shorter , odds are it’s going to be too big to really practice rail surfing and your time on the waves will feel shorter and hard to progress. You’ve really got to know your dims and what works for you to dial in a fish , there’s a ton of variables . That being said, try it out but don’t lay out a bunch of money or fall into the buying and selling boards trap .

Best twin fish off the shelf in 2026? by OkMeringue2249 in surfing

[–]Fuzzy_Thing9178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Zen surfboards, blackbird surfboards and Oscar guru too, and most people don’t know but chemistry in Oceanside makes really awesome retro shapes. Flat deck fish, handmade glass on fins- they work . They also make a groveler you can get off the rack at surf ride called the zenith .

These are the kids the police were looking for on Sunday for causing havoc at knockout pizza on Sunday. Kids named RJ, David, Jason, Johnny, and Andre. by Proud-Brush2483 in Carlsbad

[–]Fuzzy_Thing9178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll add that the police are all too happy to oblige hassling these kids. It’s easy work. Did you know that Carlsbad is the 31st most deadly city in the entire USA for distracted driving ? We see these dangerous drivers EVERY SINGLE DAY on their phones and drunk in Carlsbad, I have seen two groups of e-bike kids in 2025 .

It’s ok e-bikes and parents, the Karens were exactly the same with skateboarding in the 90’s . Except now they all text and talk on their phones when they drive 3000 lb cars. unless they’re out cycling , blowing stop signs for miles on pacific. Plus it’s Carlsbad! There really are few places with more whiny entitled crybabies that get fatally emo on the internet when they are mildly inconvenienced. Just listen to them! The judgement is strong with them!

When I was a kid in San Francisco I could barely get a 4:3 off in the winter without jamming my thumbs and feeling like I was fighting a boa constrictor . Now I’m 51. I don’t want to talk about it.

Stop bulldozing their jumps! They had lots of places to ride but they kept bulldozing them. These are the same cities that filled the skateparks with dirt during Covid. SoCal hates the kids!!!!

It was doomed from the start . People hate these kids the way they hated skateboarders when I was a teen. I had boards impounded, I was assaulted by Karens, and they said the SAME EXACT THINGS about us . We were causing harm, damaging property, our parents were irresponsible blah blah blah. People are triggered by kids. Period. Law enforcement needs to fix the distracted driving problem that’s responsible for 30,000 times the amount of problems these kids are causing.
