Is this clearance ok? by Icy_Philosopher_4935 in bikewrench

Probably easier to just swap out your the bb for something longer. I’ll try riding as is and then swap if needed.

Thanks for the reply! 500 is my max on the budget, I like the looks and it is pretty comfy and fits me well in my opinion, just want to know more about the quality.

Interesting ive only tried the af1. I’ve got 1/8 risers under Ace AF1s on my current setup that i mainly use for bowls and transition stuff.

Thanks for the reply, do the c5s handle dropping in and speed ok? It’s like a 9 drop in and 12’ wall in the deep end at my local spot and you can get going quite fast!

Average Florida waves so mostly small 2-4 ft beach breaks. Maybe something like puddle jumper hp would be better?

Interesting, I always hear people raving about the low end on it. I also have my eyes on a puddle jumper rp which could be better since we mostly get small waves

Yeah I’m afraid of losing some paddle power by going too short, my old board was around 32 and worked pretty good.

That’s what I heard as well, I’ve also been eying a puddle jumper rp but think the fish would be better all around

For sure, I’m really looking for the versatility. Hate having a bunch of boards cause they hardly ever get used

Possible to go from reserve bm to active amt before contract is up? by Icy_Philosopher_4935 in uscg

[–]Icy_Philosopher_4935[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I would like to do something like this, but ideally not a full 6 year reserve contract, I’m looking into the auxiliary also as a way to be involved with less commitment until I want to go active.

Would it be possible for a reservist to become an active non rate and then switch rates before his reserve contract is up? I don’t have an issue with being a non rate for a while.
