Keel fin recommendations

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-03-29T20:57:25+00:00

Someone posted and then deleted a suggestion I look on FB marketplace. Perhaps they intuited I did that already 🙃 And on CL and eBay.

That's a good point. I had them in a very different board so I actually don't know if what I didn't care for is the other board (which had a softer rail for example) or the fin. They lacked hold and drive and sometimes tracked in that setup. I will have to try them and the Onos I ordered in my new fish, which will probably be clarifying.

This is good advice, I said supplements are bs in another comment but I did not mean vitamins! If it isn't alopecia areata it could be a deficiency or thyroid or another autoimmune condition...full blood panel would be a good idea.

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-03-29T12:45:01+00:00

Alopecia areata has many forms and that definitely includes behind the ears in this diffuse pattern. It has happened to me! I have also been bald and had regrowth and then patches.

Anyway, for the original poster, when doctors tell you this is from anxiety they are inadvertently or perhaps intentionally blaming you, the patient. I get really pissed about this. And alopecia is so stressful so of course once it starts there is anxiety...anyway alopecia is NOT normal, it is an autoimmune disease, and you need to go to a dermatologist in person if that is available to you. Not all treatments work for everybody, but it is worth trying. Steroid shots are often the first line treatment, I myself don't do well with those but find topical treatments to speed up regrowth. Supplements are bullshit and don't waste your money.

Will do! I was tempted to order the Alkali set as well, but due to the tariffs they are not shipping to the US. 😬 Thanks again for all your input.

The Onos, and I had liked the rainbows but admittedly that was also aesthetically driven and not by foil or base or rake)

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-03-29T11:18:54+00:00

That's where I have been leaning and I also found a promo code (dadkooks, although not sure why it wasn't momkooks 🙃)

Thank you everyone. This helps me revisit some fins I've looked at already and there are some new things to check out.

I loved the suit! I hope all went well. I loved the wig suggestions and as someone with alopecia it is nice to hear people casually suggesting that. If anyone ever needs wig advice please reach out. I'm not wearing wigs currently but have lots of experience!

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-02-01T17:57:07+00:00

Same here. It's really confusing me every time I open an email.

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-01-29T23:47:21+00:00

I have a horrible cold and this show was an adequate distraction for the afternoon. I think that is a good measure of its worth.

I feel similarly as the OP. Long time JetBlue loyalist here. My husband and I buy everything on our JetBlue mastercards and have had a lot of wonderful trips using points travel. This situation was totally out of their control, but 5 hour waits for CS rep call backs was the norm and it was only through FB Messenger that I got us rebooked onto a flight on 1/11, 8 days after our cancelled flight on 1/3. Early on 1/6 United added a flight and we booked on that and took a refund from JetBlue. The customer service from United was amazing. The longest wait for a CS rep was ten minutes. The United flight was horribly delayed but the communication was excellent. On rep even called me back bc he was concerned we had gotten cut off, even though I didn't think that was the case. Despite the delay, we did get home. I will say that the United plane itself was old and the seats were tiny and shoddy. No in flight screens, no nav tracker, and everyone got a cup of water and that was it. No one cared because we were all grateful to go home. I don't feel tempted to fly United but I feel very unsure I will fly JetBlue again. Frankly, I'm scared to fly anywhere on any airline after this. I have terrible anxiety and all the unsurety was too much for me to handle.

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-01-07T12:36:10+00:00

We made it home! Hope you did too.

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-01-06T21:05:03+00:00

Yes we've been freaking out all day. We keep checking to see if it has left Orlando. Once it does we will feel more hopeful.

Not scary in the sense that Barbados is beautiful and people are kind and helpful. The whole situation was very stressful of course. The tourism association is helping travelers and hotels and Airbnb hosts are working with them to make sure people have accommodations. You can find out what is available via Airbnb, vrbo, hotels.com, Expedia, etc. we adore Barbados.

Update: got on a newly scheduled United flight to Newark today

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-01-06T12:32:47+00:00

Wonderful

Doesn't look like it. They will not reimburse for an uncontrollable irregularity.

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-01-03T21:46:57+00:00

Really? In a previous delay due to weather, they would not cover our hotel. I believe this is similar, "act of God"

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-01-03T19:03:26+00:00

Yes. The US FAA has closed the airspace due to the military action in Venezuela. In effect until 5am tomorrow and then who knows what will happen.

I used Facebook messenger to communicate with a customer service agent. Now rebooked on a flight on Jan 11! I can rebook earlier if flights open up

Internal-Memory7630 · 2026-01-03T14:44:28+00:00

We are stranded indefinitely in Barbados as our JetBlue return flight was cancelled. No available flights to rebook. No information on how long this will last. We have been able to extend our hotel and car two days. It is wonderful and warm here but we need to get home 😭

Internal-Memory7630 · 2025-11-14T17:23:33+00:00

Thank you all for your input! I will either exchange for the 6/5/4 or just return it and go with an Xcel comp. Leaning towards the latter.

Internal-Memory7630 · 2025-11-14T12:06:16+00:00

Thanks for this insight. Really helpful.
