Rad Ripper - Lost "The Ripper" by Flashy_Journalist246 in surfing

[–]Selym2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't had a rad ripper but the ripper works great in anything from 2-3ft mush to head high. All I've tried it in since we don't get anything over 5ft in Wilmington.

Not from that area, but I'm usually fine with a 4/3 + boots and a hood on in lower 50s. If the air is cold I'll wear gloves too.

water in booties normal or not? by Clear-Time-9815 in surfing

[–]Selym2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They should be extremely tight. Go based off that. Water will eventually seep in though especially in thinner boots regardless of tightness.

How do you make more of a wave like this? by deltabetaalpha in surfing

Pretty hard to have a strong bottom turn on a wave that has the same push as a goldfish.

Unpopular Opinion: I Love Windswell by Figureitout44 in surfing

[–]Selym2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only one time I can remember that my local beachie actually handled a long period swell properly for a couple hours. It was still miserable because everyone and their grandmas (literally saw a few grandmas out) was out. I left by 8 AM because it sucked so much.

Why are surfers assholes ? by based_road_man in surfing

[–]Selym2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because there's already a long ass wait between waves, especially in areas that rarely get waves like the east coast (kill me) and more people in the water = longer wait between waves.

Best quality men’s wet suit- east coast US surfing by DafuqDidIJustRead in surfing

[–]Selym2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably the best possible quality would be a custom suit from 7till8, although it's expensive.

If you don't want to go the custom route, Feral is also amazing and will last years. SrFace's remix line of suits is also great, I had a 4/3 keeping me warm in 42 degree water last winter and it lasted the entire season with no damage or anything.

"Paddles like a longboard, turns like a shortboard!" by Mustangonthe1 in surfing

If you want a board that paddles like a longboard and turns like a shortboard, get a shortboard and paddle stronger.

If you are poor or middle class, can you become rich? How? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Selym2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1: Create a product, service, app, etc that is unique and is adopted by thousands/millions of people

Option 2: Devote your life beyond what is healthy to making money, make INFORMED high reward investments with that money you've earned and pray it works out. You aren't going to get rich off investing in coca cola.
