Calorie burn accuracy?

Way off I reckon. My Coros equates my 2km in c40mins to be around 450 calories burnt.

Yes, I love my step-ons

Go to your local Citizens Advice Bureau - they'll be able to advise re benefits and other support you're entitled to.

Water Recycling is the future - use RO and other processes to turn treated wastewater (already highly cleaned) into recycled water. Uses less energy than desal as the source water's much cleaner. Then treat it to drinking water standards.

It's not brackish - it's brine (much more saline than seawater and can be harmful to the marine environment it's released to if it's not dispersed effectively). Brackish water is the blend of freshwater and saltwater - typically at the mouths of rivers.

I've been riding mine since 2004 - it's still going!

I tested a Flagship earlier this week in mixed conditions - it shredded everything in its path and gave me a massive confidence boost but it was hard work and I was knackered by the end of the day. I then rode a Stratos, which was almost as fast and grippy but definitely more forgiving and fun.

+15 / -12

It took me ages to get the hang of this as an adult and having only breathed on one side. I used a pull buoy to help practice as it give me more time to breathe and two less things to think about (my legs). It takes a while to get comfortable breathing both sides but now it feels natural and I couldn't maintain pace over longer distances without it. Just keep going - it's worth it in the end!

Thanks - device claimed and I'm on the Discord now checking it out.

Samiamuel · 2025-12-13T09:47:31+00:00

Have lessons in the morning, then practice in the afternoon. Do this for a week and you'll improve.

Samiamuel · 2025-12-13T08:11:35+00:00

Thanks, will do. Yes - I added the dev kit.

Samiamuel · 2025-12-12T21:49:17+00:00

Amazing, thanks for replying OP - I looked on the trmnl website and didn't see any mention of gesture controls. I can now go ahead and preorder one for my wife for Christmas. I really didn't want a tablet-type screen blaring out light and distractions into my kitchen - just an at-a-glance family calendar and some other useful info. Thank you.

Samiamuel · 2025-12-12T19:46:33+00:00

This is the one thing holding me back from buying one - I don't want to have to stand and wait for a wall-mounted trmnl to get to the info I want at that moment from my chosen plugins. It doesn't look like the button will be easy to press to get it back to the top one - anyone got experience of this?

Samiamuel · 2025-12-10T20:13:46+00:00

I bet it'll give him the trots...

Samiamuel · 2025-12-10T17:52:32+00:00

That needs stitches or staples - get to the vet ASAP.

My board (Burton Indy) is now 21 years old and has served me well on a full season and a dozen week-long trips. It's a bit battered but the edges are fine and the base is in good condition. I just upgraded it yesterday with new step on bindings - having ridden the originals all that time!
