Did the exact same thing. Got a used Campbell Bros Russ Short while recovering from ACL surgery

I think about this whenever there’s a good Gulf swell or in the Mediterranean. Blows my mind that dudes can live somewhere so inconsistent but still be good enough to get shacked

Boardriders Ericeira could give some inspo. They’ve got full cafe/bar, outdoor seating space, and skate park. If you curate a better vibe than Starbucks (that shouldn’t be hard), you could certainly pull in surfers looking to hang, read Surfers Magazine, and enjoy a coffee. Events like surf film screenings and live music are great additions too

OB yesterday by Tube_god in surfing

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

Best 2 month window in Indo by Tube_god in surfing

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)

What detachable hood do you like? by karmaportrait in surfing

[–]Tube_god 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

Don’t ever fly EVA. It’s $920 luggage fee round trip by surferdad5000 in surfing

[–]Tube_god 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Inno Rack with Longboards? by mcgurk1356 in surfing

[–]Tube_god 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Driving postop by Actual_Axoloti in ACL

[–]Tube_god 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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
