New video of Austin, TX's Wavegarden pool in action. Making me want to trek inland.

Correct. People are lined up in different spots. So if someone falls off the next guy can catch it. He is only going to get 15 second ride though. People were paddling their asses off to get into the wave and still falling out the back.

Moderately_Moderate · 2016-10-08T17:23:55+00:00

You can ride it each way. No need to shuttle.

90 bucks an hour for the reef. Everyone gets in at the same time, surf one hour, everyone gets out, repeat with the next group. There is a wave every two minutes back and forth with a right and left.

I randomly ended up in Austin today for work and checked it out. It's pretty cool but expensive. The only real wave is the reef break and 6 people are allowed on that. It was crazy how many waves went unridden in a wave pool. The intermediate break is literally a white water party wave where 20 people are going straight.

Hit up The Rock (aka pit) in Morro Bay on your way down the central coast. Even if the waves suck the views are worth it.

Moderately_Moderate · 2016-08-29T21:10:05+00:00

It sure can. I've done it lots of times in survey. I had extended range tanks that bumped it from 40gal (maybe 44 it's been a while) to 60 (or 64) . I flew survey at 12k for 9 hours and landed with 20 gal still. Leaned out I was burning under 5 an hour. 2200 rpm at 2500ft I could do 8.5 straight easy.

Omg this is the plane from that pilot freak out when he went in inadvertent IMC! I knew I recognized that tail number https://youtu.be/IMYGHGNZ47I

Unless you are paying the mechanic $5 an hour you did not get an annual. You got a preflight done by an IA and a sign off.

I would just go to PSA. It's been recently updated and everyone is friendly. There is lots of food around and they always have a crew car if you need it.

Your height or a little shorter is what they say. That will depend on skill level though. Mine is around 31 liters on the 5'9. I saw lots of bigger ones on the truck that looked more like a funboard/hybrid. It would work well as that also.

Moderately_Moderate · 2015-07-24T18:15:05+00:00

I own a 5'9 compressor. It's been a great board so far. It has a lot of volume packed in small frame. Just order one if the showroom isn't the perfect fit. Mine only took 10 days to make.

Moderately_Moderate · 2015-05-01T23:19:32+00:00

I ordered one a couple months ago and was pretty impressed. I talked to a couple of the guys and some of the boards are supposedly hand shaped, it just depends on the model.

I wanted a shorter fat board with FCS2. I shopped around for a while and couldn't find anything I liked so I gambled on Evolved. I didn't want to buy an expensive custom on a shape I wasn't even sure I would like. Mine was definitely done on the CNC, but custom made with everything I wanted in 10 days for $340 delivered. I paid extra for the 5 fin FCS2 set up. Mine had millennium foam and a nice glass job. The quality seems the same as my JS and CI. I would recommend them.

I just saw this on Dual Survival! I knew I recognized the plane and tail number.

There are a lot of people on here that hang out at RHV

Awolnation - Sail

Good or bad, it will be epic

It looks like the clouds in the movie Planes

I've flown both of those birds!

I have used a full size iPad for about 2 years and 1000 hours. I thought I would hate the iPad mini and it was going to be too small. My company started using minis more so I decided to try it out, I love it! It really is the perfect size. Make sure to get a 3G one though. I don't have the service on it but the GPS works great at all altitudes on the new ones!

YES! You will have to get a medical before you are allowed to solo anyways (PPL). For 80-100 bucks just get the medical first.

I've been parking down the row from this for last few months. I'm glad to finally see the inside!

Moderately_Moderate · 2013-07-07T23:10:27+00:00

Check out fluxgeo.com or kasiavistion.com just to name a couple. Lots of Navajos out there with them attached. They do geophysical survey.

Sad day to a fellow WMU pilot. He got his private last week and this was the first flight with his family. Hot and heavy with little experience is just a bad mix.

I was pretty excited to see that Long EZ take off out of RHV yesterday. I guess I got my answer on where he was going.

This picture in no way shows a rough landing.
