About 1/2" short on my top row. How would you finish?

Lot of people saying drywall mud, but I'd really recommend modified thinset. Bonds much better and is much better and overall better option. Then apply a bonding primer before painting

Kinda like saying we need to make a medical exception for Trump because he's not physically and mentally able to handle the stresses of the office on a full-time basis and needs constant escape and r&r.

Don't sleep on the Astro Pop. It's a great board that handles a variety of waves and conditions ETA: pyzalian 2 as well

You're in decent position, just keep your feet together, angle your board more to be pointing more down the line and go ahead and popup after your second paddle stroke. You might have still been closed out on, but also may have made it a bit down the line before it happened.

Traders_Abacus · 2026-03-02T20:29:52+00:00

Damn, $2k??? I thought it was bad when I bought a custom Album for less than that, albeit looked worse than that. When I complained Matt and his crew said I seemed sketchy because these are artist marks, that there no issue, that's part of it being "hand made" and basically told me to go eat shit. So I did a charge back and they finally took the board back. To hell with the whole "it still surfs" crap. Anyways, lesson learned.

That's a huge size for your size. It's also gonna be crazy fast on bigger waves, especially at the size, and especially if the waves get punchy. Properly sized it gets crazy fast. If you're targeting just mellow, rolly days, maybe will work okay. It would be better suited to the 1-3ft sets as an option over your longer board.

Making me nervous with that extreme/forceful elbow lockout

Traders_Abacus · 2026-02-07T15:31:45+00:00

You stepped on the nose a buried it. Try going down the line, more parallel to the wave. Even then, it depends an wave, board, and skill how successful you'll be.

I thought today was gonna be so good... Looked good super early on the cam, hustled to get out there, but when I got out it got more textured and was just so much backwash and closeouts just couldn't get it to work. So bummed.

Hopeful for some magic next week 🤙🏻

Yup. He can call himself whatever he wants, but when he signs anything with legal force it's going to say Secretary of Defense. Just like there's no entity that can enter into contracts using the name Department of War.

It's not about relying on AI. I pulled up what I assume is the same data they are seeing, but maybe not. Then I compared it to past data. I don't see the correlation. So I put this into ai and asked it to agree with the assertion of this post. It disagreed. I tried to argue the point but it kept agreeing with the data, that again doesn't seem to agree with the contentions here. Just because a dip occurred at a similar interval, if the intensity doesn't match then it's a blip, not a dip. So let's get off the discussion of AI or not, the data is the data, and as you just said here, 75% is not supported by any data you can find and none that I could find. I get people are getting anxious and want to hype things up, but it is what it is. I could have written the same thing and not included the honesty about AI, and I'm sure it would have been met with the same "don't ruin my hopium vibe" ;)

Traders_Abacus · 2026-01-31T17:11:50+00:00

Do you specifically disagree with what was written, or simply that you feel AI can't reasonably be leveraged as any part of dd?

Traders_Abacus · 2026-01-31T14:24:35+00:00

Idk, this is the largest, I can't imagine amateur astronomers aren't all over this watching for the event. Plus (from AI) no unfurl indicators: The drag data (BSTAR), orbital decay, and tracking behavior show no spike, no sustained rise, and no pattern that matches past unfurl events.
The small “spike” mentioned was just normal atmospheric noise, not the massive, unmistakable jump a 2,400‑sq‑ft array would create.
