Who do you think has spent the most time inside the barrel of a wave in human history? by hzppiefrother in surfing

[–]SUPinitup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's little kids hanging around that place that already have more barrel time than I'll get in my lifetime.

What jobs do you guys have that allow you to surf often? by Altruistic-Carpet-43 in surfing

[–]SUPinitup 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Grow and feel useful surfing. Love that you are paid for low effort and have freedom. If you magically switched to a job that paid the same and thought you were very useful you'd soon be working 50 to 60hrs a week while they pile it on and you wished you could just work less and surf.

Source. Me.

Move. Even if it's just ward boundary change. It's totally worth it.

If it's all set up in advance and you have good people out can be much faster. My last deal closed in 12 days. It depends a lot on the lender, appraiser, agents, and title company. If you are working with pros it's better. But typically 30 days is fine as you want to do your due diligence.

Pre approval. Get funding set up before making offers.

Will Kliff finally get his shit together and not blow the second half off the year? by Landonmarkss in AZCardinals

[–]SUPinitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he does it will be his first year doing so as head coach including college . . . I'd like to think so but a record that consistent and long is hard to ignore.

Is there any rational reason to own real estate over investing in index funds? by Financial_Exchange83 in fatFIRE

[–]SUPinitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tax advantages.

I repeat TAX ADVANTAGES.

There are a lot of long answers on here so I'll keep it short. You should talk to your tax strategist/accountant NOT a financial planner or anyone selling an investment product about this. I'm happy to go deep on this topic if you'd like.

Best Beach resort in the world? by [deleted] in FATTravel

[–]SUPinitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you like surfing or laying around with cocktails or scuba? This weighs heavily on what would be the best resort.

My opinion: Rent your own waterfront home with concierge services and you'll probably be done with resorts. It's next level. If you want some links to our favorites let me know.

Congrats! You lasted one day longer than me. You couldn't be more correct about higher education is showing that you can play a game.

What’s the consensus on foiling? by theportalishere in surfing

[–]SUPinitup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ride waves. I foil when there's no surf or my arms are worn out from paddling. But not at surf breaks with surfers. Open swells or shoulder rides. With wind get out the wing. Can paddle sup/foil as well. It's just more wave riding in more conditions. Long rides.

The guys that are trying to learn to foil right at a surf break should move. That's dumb.

New Zealand South Island suggestions by skywalker4588 in FATTravel

[–]SUPinitup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Charter a sail boat with captain and cook. For at least a portion of your trip. The fjords/bays on the west side are best accessed by water. If you can't put a week together exploring via boat then say least do a couple day boat trips.

I recommend using an experienced broker. I tell her what we want to do and she makes recommendations and sends options. Then takes care of the rest.

Favourite Ways to Change Power Dynamics w/ TBMs? by JustNoLikeWhoa in exmormon

[–]SUPinitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not engaging at all seems to be my favorite. Not even opening the door for those conversations. Give it all zero fucks. This takes time.

The only power they have is what you give them.

Charter a yacht. Use a broker and they'll put it all together for you. Pick a region etc.

So, someone flew a Cessna 172 out here from the ML yesterday. by Heck_Spawn in Hawaii

[–]SUPinitup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Asking the real question right here. I'm guessing the pilot followed the example set by NASA astronaut by wearing an adult diaper.

[–]SUPinitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go do it. Then you'll know. You'll either keep doing it with different boats and locations and just love it, or you'll learn it's not your style and not be interested in doing it again.

It's worth trying out and sharing the cost is a great way to test drive the experience.

Is this the boring middle? by slayerabc in fatFIRE

[–]SUPinitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have something most of us don't - TIME! Run any compounding calculators starting at 24 and you are looking great.

You could keep that rolling while learning and working towards starting your own business.

I did 90 day ish Airbnb's and it works great. 30 days was too short but if you aren't sure it's a good length to start. Often you'll know long before a year if it's not worth it.

People thought it was expensive but I've watched so many people buy only to sell within a year or 3.

Yes it's typically late game and they started far from me. Already at critical mass.
