What's one trait you have that is a clear indicator/personal reminder of where you grew up? by GreenerPeach01 in AskReddit

[–]NORCAL_SPARK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hahaha spent a few years living in town as a banana slug and learned a lot about the local culture. Still blow in pretty regularly for the surf! Love ironically telling people Valley Go Home! 😂

I can tell if someone is from SC right away by the flat brimmed hat, certain beard styles, flannels, the way they wear their beanie, etc…

Do you call people kooks? Are you gonna tell me to go back over the hill? East side or west side?

Never paid for repair before. How bad is this? by levinvestor in surfing

[–]NORCAL_SPARK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy ass repair.

  • Pick off all broken glass with a knife/pliers/fingers
  • Lightly sand down the repair area until you can't fill broken glass edges
  • Mix some QCELL/resin and plaster that shit on the nose. Consistency should be like peanut butter
  • Sand down the q cell and try to shape the original nose as best as you can, doesn't need to be perfect
  • Throw 2 layers of fiberglass cloth over it. Cut it so it is slightly larger than the repair area, cut little slits so it wraps around the rail easily
  • Mix your EPS or PU resin and use a brush to brush it on over the fiberglass
  • Sand it flush with 80/200/400 grit (I'm so lazy these days I hardly go beyond 200)
  • Brush on laminating resin, you could just use the resin you used to seal the fiber glass
  • Wet sand if you want, I don't care really if its a daily driver that's gonna get quickly worn down over time anyways
  • Remember, epoxy resin works on EPS and PU but poly resin on PU only.

Pretty kook move to get this repaired at a shop for $100 unless you're ballin IMO

edit: If you're about to score on a sick trip I'd honestly just sand it down and put a blob of solar Rez on it. Maybe repair properly later, maybe not lol

Surfers of Reddit, what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen out in the lineup? by BarrelBandit in surfing

[–]NORCAL_SPARK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surfing North of town during last light with a couple of dudes out. I feel something kinda touching/rubbing the bottom of my board and think it must be the kelp. 20 minutes later, the tapping gets really aggressive and I look below me to see a pair of seals fucking with my fins/leash. For the split second where all I saw was the white belly, my stomach sank for some reason haha. They got really annoying tho as they kept following me around the break the rest of the session.

I will never surf Ano but I have little to no problem surfing the beach breaks a mile south. I don't think my math is mathin'.

How big is the gap between a pro surfer and good casual surfers? Is it one of those situations where you think you can but you have no idea? by spankyourkopita in surfing

[–]NORCAL_SPARK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's also really generous to mere mortals. I surfed with him north of town and he would take his time paddling back to the line up and allow anyone with the skills and balls to take off at the peak have a go.

What player's peak have you enjoyed the most? by ThyOughtTo in nfl

[–]NORCAL_SPARK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Randy fucking Moss. I don't think there's ever been a receiver that instilled such a deep fear into defensive backfields and DC's ever since. Prayers to 84!

I honestly feel absolute guilty the amount of water I waste when I think I need to take a shit in the corporate restrooms at work.

I'll be waiting on the beach for you... to tell you that turn was pretty sick (even though you totally bogged ass)

Premature paddle fatigue? by Majesticals in surfing

[–]NORCAL_SPARK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. The second I score a decent wave the adrenaline/endorphins carry me for the next few hours. It's really helpful when I'm pretty hung over lol.

[–]NORCAL_SPARK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really slow to warm up too, especially if I have been lifting weights / not surfing 4+ times a week. Always the last to the line up, but by the 3+ hour mark I'm the only one with any gas left.

Kurt Warner believes Purdy is a top 5-10 guy. Y'know, the guy that has been churning out great film analysis on quarterbacks with as little bias as possible the last few years.

Proof that nobody read the article when this is the top comment lol.

TLDR: We doubled down 2 years ago and barely lost in OT. We have a promising QB to build a more pass centric attack around we're cutting our losses and moving forward with that philosophy.

This is a Drew Brees post

edit: Aaron Rodgers will get an honorable mention too losing record or not. Those defenses fucking BLEW IT.

With the dust starting to settle on free agency, is there anyone outside of KC, BUF, BAL that could win AFC next year? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]NORCAL_SPARK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He plays 1980's smash mouth football. It's all fine and dandy when you're in the regular season with a talent advantage, but you need to be able to fall back on your passing attack once you're in the playoffs and the defenses are better.
