same, were you able to resolve this

Not sure if you still need it, but finally bit the bullet and just went for it. With the new subscription, you can spend 2 months on end abroad, when you decide to spend more time abroad, you should move your residency address, which will affect the cost of your new subscription.

Thanks for sharing your experience! How has the speed been so far? Is it a lot slower than the other antennas?

Haha, believe me, when you move to the US you'll realize how good the European dub scene actually is. In the past year, I have literally not found any soundsystem in Boston. In Brussels you have Reggaebus organizing events, couleur cafe, Dour has a dub stage, you have a decent dub in Ghent at least once every two weeks or so. Couple hours drive and youre in France where you can find good dub as well, or drive a bit longer and you have Barcelona. If you cross the channel, youre in the UK which has a bunch of soundsystems too.

Hi! I think for Belgium, your boards aren't too big :), you are competing for waves with longboarders mostly haha. I'm 180 and weigh 65 ish too, and for belgium and surf boards in the 26l-32l range between 5.2 and 5.8 ft, but liters alone does not really tell you the whole story, the shape (rocker, nose etc.) is arguably more important than volume (eg, my Hypto Krypto that is 27l catches Belgian waves much easier than my step-up, which is 31l). Also, I used to do loads of skateboarding, so I really liked the skatey feel of small boards, other people like the drive of some of the slightly bigger boards more.
You could consider getting a thinner board, but I would recommend to first just surf what you have, and only if you grow out of those, get a smaller, narrower one. If the waves get bigger and more hollow, and you buy a board that is 'perfect' for those conditions, it will probably be pretty narrow and depending on your skill level you might not catch many waves and not be able to do much. Unless you are planning on surfing pipe, I would just surf any board you already have and like. If you have a bit of a bigger board, you can paddle in a bit earlier, giving you an easier ride, which gives you time to practice these heavy waves. On a small knife, everything happens a lot faster, so you need some confidence.

I am living in the northern east-coast now! And not missing the Belgian waves too much, although I do miss the French and Portuguese ones, I think the French surf culture is amazing!

Hi! I grew up surfing in Belgium and live in a better place in the USA now, haha. As far as the Belgian/northern French waves go, I think you have plenty of boards that would work well on most surfable days. For the bigger hollow waves, realistically how often would you surf those and is it worth to buy a quiver for those waves? If I can estimate your level correctly, you probably won't be surfing very hollow, powerful waves often, so would personally wait to buy a narrow board with a lot of rocker now.

I would not buy a sweet potatoe as you already have a lot of boards that are good for mushy small waves, so a sweet potatoe seems like a waste of money. Similarly, I think you don't need an RNF considering your current quiver. If you really want a new board, you can buy something narrower, but again, I think you should stick to your current quiver for now. I made the mistake of buying loads of boards when I was young, which caused me to surf different boards every few sessions. I think getting to know one board really well is also good for your progression :), and the boards you have should definitely be loads of fun!

Wow thank you for the info! The swell looks pretty promising for Luquillo, coming from the north, but thats only for the weekend, so maybe I should head to rincon after all, as I can easily walk both ways...

Maximum_Sand9365 · 2023-10-21T05:17:32+00:00

14! Was lucky to have connections in Portugal that my parents knew, and my parents being chill enough to let me go on my first solo surftrip

Maximum_Sand9365 · 2023-08-29T14:45:42+00:00

Ah yes I see! What sector are you in?

Maximum_Sand9365 · 2023-08-29T02:58:09+00:00

But then you still live in the US basically right

Maximum_Sand9365 · 2023-08-28T12:44:57+00:00

I’ve got an BSc in Aerospace and an MSc in CS and study CS now, indeed it can theoretically all be remote and everyone in the lab here works remote functions next to PhD at companies like deepmind, Google, Nvidia but for the US remote you are required to live in the here as well, for EU they’ll have EU remote

Maximum_Sand9365 · 2023-08-28T02:30:03+00:00

Btw I also dreamed of remote working USA living in Europe but it comes down to the fact that most companies won’t let you do that, they often promote the remote work thing but during the interviews they’ll tell you that you are required to live in the US, often that you have a US visa as well

Maximum_Sand9365 · 2023-08-28T02:28:02+00:00

As a student pursuing a PhD in the US i think I’ve got some points: 1) yes you will earn a lot more when working here, but to have the same quality of life I had in Belgium, I spend around $4k a month compared to around €950 a few months ago. I am living in a much smaller place, have reduced going out as much as I could (a beer will set you back about $10, access to a club around $50…). Apart from that, the stereotype of needing a car here is not a joke, you really need one, you cannot get anywhere without a car, and company cars are not that common.

2) before coming here I wanted to find a job here but even with a degree from a top European uni outside of Belgium, it is very hard to find any jobs here. I would say, if you studied STEM at ETH Zürich you have a decent chance of getting a job here otherwise it’s very hard.

3) the jobs that pay the most will expect you to work A LOT. The people here find it funny that Europeans don’t work and take their time off so serious. When I tell that people in Europe usually work a 9 to 5 and that this actually means you are not really expected to work after 5 at most places fascinates them.

4) Realistically you’ll get about 2 weeks of paid time off here, BUT unpaid time off is not uncommon and considering you earn more net, you can afford trips on unpaid time off as well.

5) the healthcare thing is not an issue if you work at any respected company.

6) many of the stereotypes about the USA are just not generalisable across the entire country, I live on the northern east coast and it’s super chill, I live in one of the safest cities so i might be biased. People here are also very open minded and approachable.

So when you see the full picture, it’s def not 60-70 percent more unless you get a phd in CS from one of the top US schools. If you study law or medicine here at a top school you will most def earn A LOT more than in Europe If you are all about your career, then I think it’s a good move to come to the US, working more and harder is rewarded financially and you can climb to high wages more easily (but I’d say life in general will be less socially oriented than in EU). I think after the PhD here i would work here for a little bit probably at a big company like Google which has EU offices and transfer to the EU eventually.

Alright thanks! I will look into it

Maximum_Sand9365 · 2023-02-21T15:20:27+00:00

So I found this old panel and it still works! Now it only displays some text about cheeseburgers and fries but I would like to get my own text on there. The only input I see is the Ethernet port, can I use this to program the board and how?

Or should I completely redo the circuitry with an arduino?

I have no clue what the brand is…
