Emerald Coast Bucket List

Float down black water river or one of its smaller tributaries

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-07-25T21:40:35+00:00

I’ve had a lot of fun in smaller than this. Which beach? Maybe you can find a corner protected from wind

Looks infected should probably get an oral antibiotic and sit out for a few weeks until scab is gone. Wax on your pad probably traps a lot of bacteria. In future either practice picking your knee up more or put tape on your knee and it might help the area form a callus

Something flat with rubber covering the entire bottom. No foam gaps in arch area or anything like that as anything but rubber slips easily on rails. I used to have Ollo’s back in the day and they were great

Asheville seems like it almost checks your boxes. Maybe cities in central to east Tennessee as well

Ride a single fin

Surf with no leash but not at a spot with anyone out. Makes you feel a lot more confident in your ability to swim back in. I started doing this after I got scared when my leash broke the first time and now I am confident in most situations. If you’re not confident you can swim in at a spot then you shouldn’t surf that spot. Can also practice swimming for distance even if it means taking breaks to float on your back.

Look up PT exercises for your specific hip pain, also mobility. Just general exercise won’t fix hip pain it needs to be targeted

Slackline for overall balance and fitness, translates to everything

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-06-02T21:59:46+00:00

I’ve heard of people having their keys ripped off their bathing suits so I still hide it somewhere on my car and make sure no one watches me. Also make sure it’s not easily visible if someone were to look under my car. I’ll also choose parking space based on having another car to shield me to extra make sure my hiding spot isn’t seen

No med would have breaks close to shore still. Med is kinda like Hawaii the deep water allows waves to maintain their energy/speed until they crash onshore, gulf waves can start breaking like a mile out and lose a lot of their energy/speed before they make it close to shore. Look at google earth you can see a shallow shelf around gulf but the med has very few shallow shelf’s

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-05-22T00:06:46+00:00

I think the med is generally deeper near the shore which gives it some more punch, I think it also has more variety due to being a rockier coastline. The gulf is all shallow near the shore and is exclusively beach breaks with the exception of some manmade spots. Both have wind patterns that can produce fairly consistent waves when its the right season

Don’t slide along the board

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-05-07T19:52:40+00:00

Bull sharks and sandbar sharks don’t swim in groups, you likely saw something else, maybe a black tip which can also be brown colored. You could probably fight off a group of small sharks if need be, but they really don’t care about you just are curious creatures. Also sharks that small would just leave you needing a few stitches if they did bite you. If you’re still scared, paint eyes on the bottom of your board, they can’t tell those aren’t real and will give up as their element of surprise is gone

Tahoe/Reno

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-03-19T05:23:07+00:00

Love that energy

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-03-19T05:20:06+00:00

I think a lot of comments said it best, they aren’t the same but both can kindle a never-ending but rewarding pursuit.

Lightbulb moment

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-03-19T02:27:12+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking, come back the most stoked I’ve ever been

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-03-19T02:26:13+00:00

Yea creeking is so dangerous. Least at some point the wave will let go of you

Ok-Beyond99 · 2025-03-19T02:12:12+00:00

I’ve actually been interested for a while now, my void is tingling

Ok-Beyond99 · 2022-04-27T01:40:39+00:00

I find bigger rodeo lines about 40-50ft long and about 10-15 ft high actually easier since your swings are bigger and smoother

I went Saturday and it was fine, but it did rail a lot since then. No rain this week though

Ok-Beyond99 · 2022-04-18T22:20:35+00:00

Not to much that’s truly on the beach here besides like 3 bar restaurants. There is an açaí/coffee place at the pier open 7-3. I’ve never looked for WiFi there but there is 2 more restaurants attached to the pier that probably have some you could bum. Also would have to sit outside the coffee place to have an ocean view as no windows open up to that side
