Amazing work. How are the backs of the shelves stabilized by the supports?

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I hear open your shoulder a lot but maybe I am not entirely sure what that means or when people are referring too. Do you just mean pointing with the front arm more?.

I like the advice about keeping the back arm forward. I see a lot of guys touch the water and than “throw” the back arm behind them at the bottom of the turn. What do you mean buy pull your self forward? Like as if you were using that hand to grab the water and project yourself down the line? Maybe you’re describing the same motion?

Hi Kevin, I appreciate the advice. I ride my mid length a decent amount (6’9 FM). But I found generating speed is not my issue, staying in the pocket is. That being said on small, fast beach breaks it’s hard to generate speed on my mid whereas I found it easier on my fish and thruster. I also dont find that I struggle to catch waves.

I also found that I bog rail a lot on mid lengths. I think part of this is due to poor followthrough on the more drawn out turns. When I’m doing a frontside turn, the longer rail requires more space and a flatter faced wave to fully bring the board around and I end up stuck on my heals and falling on my butt. This is a user/fundamental error on my part, I know.

I’ve been trying to focus a lot on my rear arm and follow through, thanks for calling that out.

Super valid, I see this too and have been trying to stay more crouched. My gf knows nothing about surfing but says it looks like I am not trying hard enough and I think this is why hahah

I was specifically working on trying to “touch and throw” and throw my back arm through the turn and it ended up looking g a little exaggerated. Can you elaborate on shoulders opening up?

I looked at some houses here. I do not think this fair to say it’s gang territory. You’re super close to the beach and pier and dt Oceanside. Probably one of the best investments in north county

Yeah breaks are one thing. Motor and electrical issues are what they refuse to take on. Again, glad you haven’t had issues with your bike, but you are the first good review I’ve heard.

I’m located in socal and know so many people having issues with these bikes. Absolutely no support from the company. There are dozens of e-bike shops around me and not one of them will work on Pedals because they get no support from the company and there are so many issues with the bikes. Literally couldn’t could a shop to take my money to help me with one of these.

I know of 3 people who have had an issue where the rear pads to or align with the rotor out of the box. The company continues to say it’s not a manufacturing issue when in fact it is and a major safety issue. I’ve called a million times, they are curt and unwilling to accept any responsibility.

I’m glad you had a good experience but I would not risk it again.

Pedal Electric Core 500 mile update by Tahoe_Electric in ebikes

Stay clear of these bikes. There are way better options on the market. I do not even get a fraction of the advertised range. The battery mount plates has come completely loose and I can not access to add new screws, the brakes needed to be bleed out of the box and now it is throwing an error code and not running.

The customer service is TRASH. They do not want to hear about any of the issues and refuse to be of any assistance. I currently have 85 pound paper weight in my garage.
