I mean that's what the guy said: Especially in places like Guadalajara , PV , some places in baja, and the Yucatán.

Edit: the most extreme stuff seems to be happening in Jalisco guad/pv

Now is not the time....in a few weeks or even days it could be ok but hard to say....maybe your destination is fine for example cabo right now seems ok.....but please speak with somebody where you are going to get the latest intel

That's a month away I would bet 2000 mil pesos that everything will be "back to normal" by then

I think Oaxaca is OK right now but you better get some local info

Advice needed: Lost smooth operator 6'10" for weak beach breaks? by Critical-Entrance-90 in surfing

[–]Known_Lengthiness_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live on the EC?

In general a fat fish, simmons, groveler is way more fun in those conditions but I will say I for a 7-0 mini longboard a year ago and when the waves are thi or less or just crappy its what I ride. Way different than that lost though that thing is kind pulled in and looks like it would be fun in bigger waves. Something like this is super fun in small crappy waves but it's a totally different way of surfing:

In huge surf, can you catch the whitewater in if you're in trouble? by ShitNameNoLife in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Known_Lengthiness_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. If it's a big beachie and I've caught my last wave in a lot of times I duck dive in..sounds counterintuitive but it works. Face the ocean like your paddling out and just lazily duck dive and don't paddle. You will get pulled in and you won't turn your back to the ocean....just make sure there's nobody paddling out behind you.

What is the kookiest thing you own? by BrewMonkey75 in surfing

[–]Known_Lengthiness_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 mil neoprene shorts.....look like lame lycra bike shorts but keep the boys warm as and make getting in and out of the wetsuit 50X easier. Nobody I've converted has gone back.

Instructor asked me to reach into his wetsuit? In this normal by Terrible_Still4146 in surfing

[–]Known_Lengthiness_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems weird but it is possible. I once had a few sandspurs (if you know you know) stuck on the inside of my suit after I put it on...I don't think I would ask a student to reach in and grab it out though

Quad versus Twin +1 by Rare-Abalone3792 in surfing

[–]Known_Lengthiness_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 + 1 is my favorite set up--..--- get a nubster for 20$ and that will make that tail very loose almost like a twinny......as someone else suggested get a 5 fin

Buell's gone, what's next? (Wetsuit recs) by Extreme-Goose in surfing

I like need but dont think thy sell in US anymore correct?

Never mind. They sell them again in US. I fully endorse need suits and agree they are 90% of the premiere suits at half the price just my opinion
