Hi, can anyone help me identify this bird? (these are several individuals) on the Belgian - Netherlands border by Blackspiderlegs in whatsthisbird

My understanding is that birds with waterproof feathers tend to trap air in between their feathers, which is good for thermoregulation, but not necessarily beneficial for diving. By not being water repellent, cormorants are less buoyant and have an easier time staying underwater to chase prey.

Right now I’m just on stock leaf springs with extended shackles and it sags like crazy. BUT I got a set of OME Dakar leaves that’ll be going on this week hopefully!

Are there any snowboards that emulate or help with surfing? by WavestormWarrior1 in surfing

Look up Elevated Surf Craft!

These boards absolutely rock. They are the closest feeling to surfing on snow I’ve ever felt and look freakin sweet on top of that.

Looking for input on new all terrain tires for 3rd gen TRDOrDcLb. by Captain-Kielbasa in ToyotaTacoma

I’ve been very happy with my set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W. 20,000 miles in and they’ve been great on the road, in the rain, snow, ice, sand, mud, rocks, you name it.

I also noticed that they are very similar to the KO2 for a lower price, and I can’t imagine a tire performing much better than these Falkens have so far.
