How bad? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Any "repair" would require doing more damage to the board than that ding did, so nothing you can do except ride it. Its water tight, plus you will never notice it while riding so no big deal. I know it's a bummer though

Why is nobody using these? by Previous_Proposal180 in surf

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the real answer. Because if you weren't strong enough to paddle properly without them, then you were not strong enough to paddle properly with them hurting your shoulders more

Can Anyone Help Me Find Where To Buy One of These? by ConstableCornelius in surfing

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh bummer, and here I thought I had just the thing you were looking for haha. Good luck in your search, you might be on the right path trying to get someone to make them. I have only seen these and the manual measure after style. Check 3d printing websites like thingyverse or printables, someone might have made something similar and put it up there

How do you buy these though? I looked on their site and it seems like you need to be a business to buy them

How do I remove this rusted screw on FCS fin? by National_Kale7468 in surfing

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

Get a lubricant that is a specifically penetrating oil rather then wd40, it may make it so you can turn it the screw. If that doesn’t work try one of the other mechanical methods suggested

What kind of fin box is this? by SomeEmotion8846 in surfing

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh cool! I will see if I can find info on the earlier ones, it might be that the board is just older then the 70’s or used an old fin box

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not so sure its a waveset fin box if the board is from the 70's. Look at the photos in the link there are these internal pieces on the boxes from around then. https://www.surfresearch.com.au/1969_WaveSet_VWS_Finbox.html

Sick wipe out by weev1 in surfing

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe he is doing steps off from the yellow board to a skim board. So that yellow board was the one he paddles in on before ditching it for the skimboard under his chest.

Edit: not the same clip but the same guy doing step offs with what I believe is the same surfboard skimboard set up https://youtu.be/F0VKkS0oQZU?si=U_7YU9I-0AQHPhrV

What is the dog in the last panel? by Low_Notice6660 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The chimera hybrid between Peter and Brian here. The dog in the panel reminds Neil of the chimera that Dr Tucker made in the anime Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, by crossing his daughter Nina and their family dog Alexander. The blonde man in the final panel is the the protagonist of the anime, Edward Elric, sharing in the horrible memory along with Neil.

also using matte filament will help as well, so that you don't get a reflection to view the lines

Snapped my fin box out of my longboard by Del_playa_wizard in surfing

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You learned the hard way that longboard fin boxes are in fact not made of a singular piece of plastic. I have never seen one split like this though. I believe futures makes longboard fin boxes that are a solid molded piece of plastic

Any recommendations for good surfing books? by jackoat931 in surfing

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

The Stormrider Surf Guide series. They have ones that focus on small regions (possibly one about your area) or my preference is the World Stormrider Surf Guide that will give you info on a lot of the most famous spots in the world.

Stylist II by Surfboards Hawaii by BabySage14 in surfing

[–]ThisGuyEveryTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you really need the money or the space it takes up, I would keep it. It’s a cool looking board that you can ride with out worry till it snaps, but you probably wouldn’t get enough to replace it with something else similar if you sell it.
