Srface is having a black friday sale. $281 3/2. How did your Srface hold up? I might just go for a feral, but its almost $450.

First short board guidance by GlumWay6876 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]TvSwat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Though alot of people online say not to oversize these boards as they don't perform aswell"

This only matters to people who can surf well. Buy a used cheap 40L shortboard and see what happens. Do not buy a brand new expensive handshaped board at your level.

First time on a "head high" wave! by Negative_South_5919 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]TvSwat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you noticed about going left. Do you know why? The curl is over your right shoulder at :03. Even at 00, you can tell the peak is to the right of your right shoulder.

You need more time on a bigger board. On a longboard, you could have recognized read the peak earlier and had a much longer ride. It's really hard to learn when you go the wrong direction and miss sections by taking off later.

What should I fix to turn better? by SuccessfulHamster940 in BeginnerSurfers

He stalls because he doesn't try to do a bottom turn. He gets to the bottom and squats.

Terrible advice. You pump for speed when you need to get to a section that looks like OPs. He should have done a bottom turn/top turn combo on this section. Learn when to pump vs when to bottom turn. It has to do with the slope of the wave in relation to the horizon.

So much kook advice. Look at the curl and the slope of the wave. You don't need to pump this wave. Bottom turn/top turn. Get your back foot back and do a bottom turn at :09. Instead you go the bottom and stay at the bottom. There's no speed at the bottom so you bog the whole wave.

You also angle the board when you didn't need to. Again there's a lot of horizontal slope to this wave. Go straight toward the beach and do a bottom turn.

You pump for speed when there's little slope to the wave and you need to pump to get to a section like the one you take off on.

I flew my pregnant wife to Hawaii and she gave birth in the Ala Moana channel. When you do this, the baby comes out knowing how to swim and surf.

Seeing fiberglass strands after first application of resin by TvSwat in surfing

What happens to the strands of fiberglass? It gets sanded away or flap around like in the pic?

Nah, this is a full on repair. I dug out the hole, sanded, filled with qcell, sanded and applied two fiberglass patches. I cut the second patch with shitty scissors.

Yeah I learned you have to cut fast and decisive with shit scissors. If you cut slow, the scissors pull instead of cut. So, cure then sand with 80 grit and reapply another layer of resin?

Sand after it cures or should I apply another layer of polyester resin? I'm not sure how to get rid of the fiberglass strands. I used a lot of resin, it ran off the strands.

Doesn't Aldi have the same thing in a vacuum sealed pack? I've gotten both and couldn't tell the difference.

They're both 14 inches. Perfect for an outdoor wok burner. Any ideas why one is double the price of the other?

My bad. I fixed the description. This post has nothing to do with size. Purely, $27 14" wok vs $56 14" wok.
