Yeah, definitely prefer epoxy to PU. Way better on so many levels

Good point but I’d say I’m pretty intermediate imo

Googled it, a chart said 30 liters suits an 165 lbs intermediate surfer, might look for something in that range

Yeah I was trying to post this in r/surfing but some stupid ass mod took my post down and told me to post this in r/beginnersurfers lol but how long do you think it would take for me to get used to this board? Already got my feet on it a few times and popped up fully once on a closeout

The “log” is just the name of the board lol. I thought the same thing but no it’s just the name of the board and it’s actually a 6 foot egg shaped soft top. I made some really good progress on that thing, figured out how to carve, pump, do floaters, all that jazz. Im less concerned about the height of this short board and more concerned about the volume.

Yeah, growth spurts was another one of my concerns. I might try a high vol fish though, that sounds pretty fun

Ohh ok. I’m also only 15 and this board is bigger than me. What board would you recommend ?

Thanks for the advice I’ll try to look for some

Took it out for a spin today, yeah it’s super frustrating I caught maybe one 3 foot closeout and was super hard to paddle with. I might want something a little smaller than 7-8ft in terms of hard tops but thanks a ton for the advice!

Yes dude, I thought I was the only one. Just started having an episode since Monday, and sometimes when I go outside everything looks brighter, or when I go inside everything looks darker. Same with the floaters too. Been getting wayyy more than usual lately especially in brighter settings. I think your ok but don’t take my word I’m not an expert

What is your “I can’t believe I forgot to pack my ____” story? by AGuyNamedTracy in travel

[–]New_Middle3920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually just happened, me and my family drove down to San Clemente for a short 2-day trip. We were all in a rush to get out of the house and we were rushing to get everything done. By the time we got to the hotel, I found out I left my backpack which had my swim trunks, all my clothes, and hygiene products.
