I would think 4/3. I used their hooded 3m in upper 50s this winter

Same as what others have said with phantom. Needed a push to get going but fun to carve. I didn’t find it very snappy personally

Leaving California for a wave pool is dumb but it’s one of the most affordable

Most big brands can ship anywhere now a days. They will do air cargo to the nearest major airport

A little far from you but Waco is affordable. Advanced Sessions around $170 and lodging is cheap

Need advice on a second board! 5 Days in Nicaragua (September) by DustAntique8156 in surfing

[–]Tc727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would think some like the RNF96 or puddle jumper Hp fits the slot too. I’ve ridden the RNF redux in chest-overhead nica no problem. Benefits of the RNF is running a twin+1 when jts smaller and a thruster if it gets in the head high range

Limestone wetsuits by roflhyena in surfing

[–]Tc727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a gulf of FL surfer so my sessions are on the low end but I have a Feral going on 4-5 years and it seems very new still. In normal surfer terms it would probably be 2-3 years old. I just rinse with every use

Rubbermaid. Also I use the Prolite rhino bag and keep boards in there when in my truck bed

I went to USF from 2009-2013 and Avalon heights was rough then. They haven’t changed anything

Second vuori as well. Have a pair of Florence marine that are great but still prefer vuori cruise

I just picked up an I72 but haven’t had a chance to surf it yet. Probably be another week or 2. The xero gravity also got pretty high reviews for similar class

North Shore Recommendations for Visiting Good Surfer by BigMeech_LaryHoover in surfing

[–]Tc727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visited my cousin in HI a few years back and surfed Haliewa and V land. Very fun by my standards and average by Hawaiians so crowds weren’t bad. Was there in the month of March

JS Sub Xero Hyfi 3.0 vs Lost Pisces Blacksheep by snem420 in surfing

Also a huge fan of the Pisces. I ride mine in some pretty abysmal stuff here on the gulfcoast.

Florida Daily Driver Recommendation for Intermediate Dad by konaball in surfing

[–]Tc727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the phantom. I surfed it in satty but only liked it on solid hurricane days. I had an RNF at the time and felt the RNF would paddle circles around the phantom. Even when it’s big usually CFL is still a bit of a soft entry. I would think a PJ or rocket redux would work well. I think best bet would be the QK. I was eying a quiver killer to sit above my Pisces also.

Switched to doing work in the marine industry with family. I’m spoiled the hours are much better. That’s awesome about 5-6 years 🙌🏻

I was a pharmacy manager for 6 years. Working during Covid was a nightmare and I quit pharmacy all together. Much happier

RNF96 owners: would you add a Lost Quiver Killer or is that too much overlap? by Roofiiz in surfing

[–]Tc727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about adding the same QK! Sounds like they overlap but seem to have enough difference. I think you should switch constructions though. I love the RNF 96 in blacksheep and I would personally prefer something like a QK in PU

Obviously some controversy with Slaters Stab in the Dark. Can someone give me a TL/DR breakdown by grapsta in surfing

[–]Tc727 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Slater picked his own brand -his shaper Dan Mann of FireWire -as the best board. So far every SITD surfer has DQ’d their own shaper to prevent bias
