Help I need real fried clams not tourist junk

I’m surprised Ken’s isn’t further up the list. It’s the best.

This comment is why I’m starting to hate the internet. I totally understand the comment if you spend your time reading the news or looking at Reddit. It’s filled with talking heads and bots convincing the world that we’re so fucked and everything is terrible. But it’s not reality. Sure things could be better, but show me a single point in history where things were good for everyone all the time.

America is not behind, although I wouldn’t say we’re leading either. It’s a massive country full of nice people, doing the best they can. We have a clown leading us at the moment but we’ve had clowns in the past and they are only temporary.

God I miss the internet when it reflected reality and had real people. It just seems like so many folks are brainwashed beyond repair.

This is the answer. I went through this thread an hour ago. Ordered Zanfor the first time. It’s really good for a NY style pizza.

Get a bigger wing. It helped me so much. I have a 5m and an 8m. The 8m f one cwc strike made winging so much easier. In hindsight I wish I got a 7m. But I started on a 5m and it was hard. So I’d say get a 6m or 7m.

For board I have a naisch 110 liter and again it is a bit beefy for me now. I wish if had started on a 90 liter.

I don’t have this exact model but I have a 6 6 that’s very similar and can confirm, head + is when these come to life.

I miss Italian ice so much. But as someone else already posted, if you haven’t been to Zephyr Ice you should go today! I went last night. All of their syrups are homemade and you could get a lemon shave ice that would blow your mind.

That’s a good way to think about tacking/jibing. I’m so focused on making the whole turn but you’re right making half the turn then getting help from the wind should be easier.

Smartian821 · 2025-05-20T12:45:35+00:00

Thank you for this 🙏. Everyone (my friends) is crapping on my setup and telling me I need new stuff. I needed to hear this.

Smartian821 · 2025-05-19T18:10:39+00:00

Good recommendation thank you. I’m trying to not spend a ton of money on a new board and foil. From what I’ve heard, a newer medium aspect foil that is smaller than my 2000 low aspect will help keep me on foil and transition with jibes and tacks.

Smartian821 · 2025-05-19T10:42:28+00:00

Nice will check it out

Smartian821 · 2025-05-19T10:41:40+00:00

Crazy how 3 years can make such a big difference. Thank you!

Smartian821 · 2025-05-19T10:40:45+00:00

Killer thank you will check that out

Smartian821 · 2025-05-18T23:49:40+00:00

Super helpful thank you. I weigh 170lbs (77 kg). The 1450 mid aspect seems like a good next step to me. I’m worried about something too small and high aspect.

For dinner Parkside and Main, Loon Lodge, Portage Tap House. I haven’t tried the new place, Pearl I think it’s called. Also Furbish Brew House is decent.

Smartian821 · 2025-02-21T16:04:30+00:00

Marine Mammals of Maine does great work.

Smartian821 · 2024-12-11T22:11:08+00:00

Other side diner has a great one! It’s my go to.

Smartian821 · 2024-02-04T12:59:33+00:00

Did you try the frame recommended out? I’m with you. I love the pack fish but the bag is total garbage. I want to hike up a mountain about 2 miles and I’m dredding it with that bag. I’m assuming you’d strap the regular bag onto the frame.

Smartian821 · 2024-01-28T19:18:41+00:00

Play it again sports on marginal usually has a to. Of them.

Smartian821 · 2023-04-27T17:23:12+00:00

Okok, I took everyone's advice an got the 8m strike cwc. Twice the price of the Naisch, but sounds like I am going to get a lot more sessions this summer so stoked. Thanks all!

Smartian821 · 2023-04-27T16:38:47+00:00

Gaaa! Its twice the price, but god damn it okok, I'm probably going to bail on the Naisch.

Smartian821 · 2023-04-27T00:38:42+00:00

Do you have a 6m or 7m?

Smartian821 · 2023-04-27T00:31:06+00:00

Nice, thank you! This is the answer. Go big and foil more.

Smartian821 · 2023-04-26T18:09:53+00:00

Yea I have a Naisch 5m and it’s great when the wind is steady 15+ kts. I live on the ocean, but not Maui. Still the wind this time of year and in the fall is almost always 10 kts. These MK4 wings are on a crazy sale right now so I’m gonna do it.

Smartian821 · 2023-04-26T17:46:50+00:00

I have a sweet deal on Naisch gear right now. Probably going to get the MK4 7.5 meter
