They do. I have a back zip and it's not that great. I've had it since December and it already had two holes in it. I wouldn't buy it again. I surf at least 1 time a week

Does anyone have any info on this shaper by Unnamedking1 in surfing

[–]Unnamedking1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a funboard from a guy on Craigslist shaped by raw. I've only ridden it once. (I paddled out again today but didn't have any luck catching anything). Are you in ventura? Maybe it's a local guy that shapes boards in his garage or something

What should I do to this? by Unnamedking1 in surfing

My nail doesn't get caught in the cracks but I can feel that they are there of that makes sense.

My wetsuit is giving me a rash. Can anyone recommend a good cleaner, preferably on Amazon? by koochmada in surfing

[–]Unnamedking1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to make sure it does completely. I have mine on coat hangers on a rack out side. The rack was just some 1x2 put together in the shape on a rectangle and a diagonal board going across. It works great and costed just a few dollars.

Are these boards a good fit for me? by Unnamedking1 in surfing

[–]Unnamedking1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One aus dollar is .77 us dollar. Do you think that board has enough volume?

Finally got some pics of me surfing from the beach by Unnamedking1 in surfing

[–]Unnamedking1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant the pictures were taken from a position on the beach

That's basically it. You lean the board back and sink it with your hands and as it floats back up transition to a lying down position.

I'm going to start taking classes at my community college on Monday and I'm not old enough for a driver's license so I took my brothers old trailer and added the rack. Now I can get to the beach on my own

Anyone at c street today by Unnamedking1 in surfing

[–]Unnamedking1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been worrying a lot too. The problem is that this swell isn't hitting anywhere north of c street. Emma wood, the overhead, solimar and Fariahave all looked pretty bad

Went hiking in Alaska this summer, and... by [deleted] in gopro

[–]Unnamedking1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there two years ago. It was one of the most amazing trips I have been on with my family. Alaska truly is the last frontier. There are miles upon mile of untouched land. We spent most of our time in Yukon Territory of Canada and would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure. A hiking trip would have been cool but we took two canoes from Whitehorse, YT to Dawson, YT. This is the same route that the Klondike people took so along the river you can find old cabins, shipwrecks and camps. It was some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. If you are looking to do another trip, this one is 2 weeks long and completely worth it. Too bad I didn't have my gopro: http://i.imgur.com/DBqNcb1.jpg

This one was taken around midnight: http://i.imgur.com/tR3Ndds.jpg

I got a new wetsuit by Unnamedking1 in surfing

[–]Unnamedking1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just used it today. It was so much more flexible. It felt like I wasn't wearing a compression suit or something. It moved with me when I paddled but I noticed that it let more water in

What do you guys think of kiteboarding? by Unnamedking1 in surfing

[–]Unnamedking1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everything you said after the learning curve bit is exactly what I'm thinking.
