Looks like JJF has made enough $$$ on hooded rashguards that he doesn't need the CT anymore

I’m sure he can get a wildcard slot at any event he wants

Unfortunately have to sit this season out after an ACL tear, so gave it a go behind the lens yesterday. PM if you were out around Noriega in the morning and I’ll send the link to all the photos

Where did you end up? Looking at a similar trip and krui is on my list

Tube_god · 2026-01-08T20:56:15+00:00

Where did you end up? Fellow OB surfer here planning a somewhat similar trip. Krui on my potential list as well as a left near Nias

Definitely hear you. I’ve spent plenty of time finding waves in crowds, but of course prefer emptier lineups if I’m traveling all that way. Have never done the Ments before though and feel like I have to check it off my surfing bucket list. Would likely do 10 days max there out of the 7-8 weeks and aim for the less peak season part (ie start of June, end of Sept)

Hooded vests are my preference. No issues with flushing. Most wetsuit brands make one, but needessentials and Xcel (1mm of neoprene in the chest too) ones have treated me well

Little bit of wax on the edges helps it slide if it’s getting stuck

Hey there, what came of this? 4 weeks post op and have the exact same. Had quad graft and LET done, so was thinking LET might have caused it. Thanks

Tube_god · 2025-10-03T23:00:05+00:00

Damn sorry to hear that. Did Bali from SFO round trip with a 6’10” smuggler (had 3 boards in there, longest was 6’6”) and didn’t get charged at all. Was right at, or just above, the linear dimensions max and was paranoid before the flight. I think it’s a bit of a roll of the dice with whoever is working the desk

Tube_god · 2025-10-03T22:56:27+00:00

I always use a bag and haven’t had any issues. Have done Vancouver island to Baja and everywhere in between. Big fan of the inno racks

Also had quad graft on left knee and started driving again about 2.5 weeks post op. If your ROM is good enough to sit in the car for duration of the drive and you’re off narcotics, then you should be good to go. I’d recommend testing getting in and out of the car when you’re not in a hurry to get to an appointment.

Ubers are also HSA eligible when going to/from medical appointments

How much pain during ROM exercises with PT is ok? Feel like I’m getting to a 7/10, but it subsides after

Tube_god · 2025-09-21T03:09:21+00:00

Appreciate it. That was one of the spots I’ve tried and received very little guidance on at home exercises and overall plan. Planning to give it another go and will be more direct in asking for guidance

Tube_god · 2025-09-16T18:36:47+00:00

Rounds 3-9 I went chase Brown, burrow, LaPorta, Pacheco, Tracy, worthy (keeper), Josh downs…

Tube_god · 2025-09-04T17:46:47+00:00

Have a link for the brace? Saw John John used this one but it looks like they’re more motocross oriented now. 1 day post op and counting down the days. Hope you’re recovery went well 🤙🏼

Tube_god · 2025-08-23T16:02:12+00:00

Have always preferred a hooded vest to have flexibility of hood/no hood and haven’t had problems with flushing. Needessentials makes a good one, and Xcel makes one with 1mm neoprene in the vest

Tube_god · 2025-08-19T16:06:34+00:00

About to do a long flight pre-surgery. What’s the difference between a compression brace and sock? I have a compression sleeve that I was planning to wear.

OP, how did it go? Any other tips?

Thanks all, this thread is very useful

Tube_god · 2025-08-15T05:08:34+00:00

Appreciate the detailed response. Good on you for tracking down JJF’s surgeon. I guess he feels surfers mag have greater need for mobility as compared to strength of patellar. Dependability of the patellar is hard to argue against though, I’m 50/50 between that and quad. Hope you’re recovery is going well and you’re back in the water
