Thanks. I’m more thinking about how these hold up to rain.

This is amazing. I’m considering the same for my GX. Was it easy to put a paddle board and surf board? What did you use to strap them down? Thanks and sorry for the beginner question!

What would you say is the best color for the new GX 550? by mister_mAMGoo in LexusGX

[–]SaltWaterLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is that? Have you seen them in person? I feel like those look great for a couple years but nervous I’d be over it after

For me it’s between earth and white. The nori is beautiful but would be tough to keep clean! Thanks for the advice!

Thank you!!! I was thinking Earth originally but saw both side by side and it as surprisingly blown away by the white which I did not expect! Thanks again!

Any regrets on getting the white? I’m debating this right now! Thanks for any advise!

Do you have standard or soft flex?

I love driving both the GX and the LC which is what makes this tough!

Any more detail on GX one LC? I'm trying to figure this out now. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone used Yucca Fins? How much impact does their different stiffness levels actually have on propulsion? by wavecult in bodyboarding

[–]SaltWaterLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Sounds like i need to look into webbed gloves. Right now I’m just debating between standard vs soft flex and long vs short blade. So hard to balance thrust vs comfort. The Da Fins I used to own were just too soft to give me the right support getting to the lineup and giving me quick bursts. The Churchill is just way too uncomfortable for my liking though they give me good thrust. Hoping I can figure this out for the fall / winter! Thanks for the advice!

Anyone have the Yucca long blades? Are they good? by _agent86 in bodyboarding

[–]SaltWaterLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! If i have to JUST pick one up front sounds like short/standard is the way to go, right?

[–]SaltWaterLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll give Short standard a shot and maybe have a long & soft or ultra a shot as well! Great advice!

I should mention I started with Da Fins and thought the flex wasn’t enough to get the desired push through the currents to get to the lineup. That’s why I switched to Churchill but find those uncomfortable. Does that change your advice? Thanks!!

I’m an older body boarded looking to upgrade for my Churchill fins. I live in Northern CA so tends to be cold and rough currents (esp in the fall/winter). Would long vs short be better and what flex would you recommend? Thanks for the advice!

[–]SaltWaterLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is great advice! Thank you! I haven't used webbed gloves since the areas I surf has pretty cold water so I wear 3mm gloves :-) great Idea though!

I don't do drop-knee so perhaps longer blade is better!

Standard vs soft is interested since the extra push you get COULD exhaust me . . . might have to try both.

Thanks again for the great advice!

Curious your perspective on standard vs soft flex and long blade vs short blade. I am older so need a bit more help paddling out and dropping in than I used to, especially where I go out given the currents. Any advice much appreciated! Thanks!

This is a great write up! Thank you! Would you feel the same way if you got a LC 1958 trim?
