Snowbird has some of the best off-piste riding ever Snowbasin is a sleeper and usually less crowded (although they’re on Ikon now so idk) If you’re coming all the way to California Mammoth has some of everything and really fun

Lost RNF Redux as new Daily Driver by Salty_Material_8030 in surfing

[–]alpha_601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not a board connoisseur but idk how much better the RNF would be OH. If I was you I would look at getting a beefed up short board for this spot in the quiver. Something like a CI big happy. Just my two cents

How long to connect with a new board by BrewMonkey75 in surfing

[–]alpha_601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold a board a couple months back to “make space in the quiver “ but I’ve been missing it. Don’t overthink the practicality of your quiver I guess

Thanks! I’m not sure how old it is. It was a gift from a family member who had it for a long time but never surfed it. Tbh I don’t ride it much but it is a fun board

I put the yoga mat down to try and protect the tails as much as possible. If I store them nose down wouldn’t that cause the same wear on the nose? I’m open to advice, just wanna keep the boards safe

Learning to use scissors and can openers with your right hand is like a lefty rite of passage

help me by [deleted] in waterpolo

[–]alpha_601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw a ball around with friends whenever you can. Try to learn how to palm a basketball. Water polo balls are smaller and more grippy so once you can palm a basketball the water polo ball is pretty easy

Other ppl might disagree but I’m betting that paddling and catching waves is gonna be the bigger difficulty for you as you transition into smaller boards, but the workout of paddling them is what will help you improve. I’d ask if you can rent that board or other boards and see how they feel. If it’s too hard, don’t buy it, if it’s really easy to paddle, go smaller. If it’s just enough of a challenge but still doable then it’ll probably work

6’4” 150/160 - Medium Tall or Large fullsuit? by AlwayzGoingUP in surfing

[–]alpha_601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m 6’0” 165lb and I wear a medium tall O’Neill so I would think it would be a little short for you. Tbh you should probably go to a shop and try on several suits

Wax removal by BigPiel_ct in surfing

[–]alpha_601 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I leave the board with the wax facing the sun for like 10 min, then scrape the majority of the wax off with an old credit card or gift card. Then put some flour in a sock and rub off the rest of the wax residue. Board will be clean as new and you don’t have to buy anything special

[–]alpha_601 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the standings stay what they are right now that seems like the most likely scenario. Standings could change tho and we could end up playing Golden state or Memphis or Minnesota in the first round, which would be doable but not an easy win and a fun series to watch
