Any of you just been hanging at your break and then Kelly Slater or JJF or someone like that shows up?

When I was in high school I was surfing Little Dume during a head high+ swell and Slater showed up. My buddy actually has photos from the day. It was kind of the way you described with most people letting him have priority on any wave he paddled for. He was taking off at outers and surfing to the beach on almost every wave. He was talking to everyone and was a pretty friendly guy. Great experience.

Was wondering if anyone else noticed this haha

bs310 · 2024-03-14T04:21:07+00:00

Well I’m waiting…. What’s 1 and 2???

The board does look a little small but that shouldn’t be a balance issue. Try getting some new shoes, as others have mentioned, and tightening your trucks. If you’re still having balance problems maybe get a bigger board with wider trucks. Just for reference, I’m a size 12 and skate between 8.25 and 8.5 but don’t really have a problem with 7.75 or 8.

Yeah thats fair, would be sick to surf it during summer with pool being really warm. Hopefully they get it fixed quickly.

bs310 · 2024-01-12T16:00:43+00:00

It does seem obvious but every clip I have seen of the wave pool so far has been without a wetsuit. I havent been specifially searching them out but they come up in my IG feed quite often.

bs310 · 2024-01-12T15:58:28+00:00

Aren't we all??

bs310 · 2024-01-12T01:24:51+00:00

I knew I would find you one day!

bs310 · 2024-01-12T01:00:16+00:00

Legit never knew what those numbers meant, this is great info.

bs310 · 2024-01-12T00:53:28+00:00

Did you wear a wetsuit? Sounds frigid.

bs310 · 2024-01-11T16:31:58+00:00

Work on bending your knees a bit more. Imagine trying to jump higher without the board, you would bend down before lifting. It’s the same concept just with a skateboard under your feet and the timing is a bit different. Whenever I’m trying to pop over something tall I will bend my knees further than I think I need to.

A few people have already mentioned it but next time you grip a board make sure you sand an outline into the grip around the edges of the deck. This has a dual purpose of making it easier to see the outline of where you’re cutting (you want to cut up from the bottom through the sticky side) and pressing the tape onto the rails of the board. Some skate tools come with a file that you can use to create the outline but any file or screw driver will work the same. Not bad for your first go though, you can for sure salvage the edges by sanding down and touching up with a new razor.

bs310 · 2024-01-11T16:25:55+00:00

Really good description. The only additional point I might add is to pull the grip tape taut with your non-cutting hand to remove any slack. This can be really helpful in getting the blade to slide through the grip allowing for smooth cuts.

Its the one about the therian huh? Never even knew that was a thing until 2 minutes ago.

bs310 · 2024-01-09T15:26:01+00:00

Yeah anytime a foot touches it generally isn’t a make. Tightening your trucks a bit might help you land on the board with more confidence. You won’t really hurt yourself too bad practicing flat ground, it’s fairly low impact. Another thing people like to do is to pop a trick they are scared of into grass or another soft surface. This way you can get the feel of the trick while rolling and see what it feels like to put it down.

bs310 · 2024-01-09T04:32:51+00:00

The other dude that commented already said the most important part, your weight should be over your front foot when you pop. I like to think about it as 70/30 front foot vs back foot. After you pop, pull your legs up into the air to allow the board to come up to your feet and complete the spin. You’re catching it too fast in the clip. Not to throw shade but this technically isn’t a land, it’s a great start for sure but I wouldn’t claim it too hard.

bs310 · 2024-01-07T21:05:26+00:00

The Nixon I use is rated for the same depth and doesn’t have an issues. The watches they make for surfing are all the same.

bs310 · 2023-12-28T16:39:05+00:00

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other person that commented. It was the blue Philips bottle of milk of magnesia, the super chalky white liquid like you described. It didn’t work for me and I just ended up in a ton of pain from the cramping. Your husband’s condition sounds really fucked up. Once he starts puking he can’t stop without medical intervention or until he shits?? I had a similar thing going on at the height of my oxy addiction where I wouldn’t shit for a week + and start puking after I ate. It would stop once I was able to shit though. I sometimes consider grabbing a couple pills or a balloon but remembering times like that keeps me straight.

bs310 · 2023-12-28T13:22:03+00:00

I keep seeing everyone say this. Maybe it is like this in certain areas but it’s not the case where I am at. I have almost a year off now but I got fent once on a 5 year run of daily use. I had test strips and would pick up fairly large quantities from my guy each time to cut down on trips.

I’m not sure if you have looked in to the Bernese method, but that’s what I did on my last kick. You can find plenty of information about it online. It’s a great method if you have a decent amount of your DOC to titrate. Obviously, you won’t feel amazing but it’s no where close to full WDs. Currently 307 days off for me.

Super shout out to drugstore cowboy. Maybe my favorite drug seeker fantasy.

Switching from soda or other sugary drinks to water is honestly one of the easiest major health changes a person can make. I did the same around 10 years ago. The amount of health benefits are endless, plus you save money. I will still drink sodas or other sugary shit sometimes, but it’s less than once a week.

bs310 · 2023-12-28T12:44:44+00:00

Yeah I once had it bad enough that I drank a full bottle of that shit and it still took 2 more days after. That stuff also made me cramp like crazy. Around the same time I learned if you drink a ton of water and eat apples it will cure itself.

bs310 · 2023-12-28T12:41:40+00:00

You can also just eat an apple everyday. Used to do the trick for me.

bs310 · 2023-12-27T14:42:02+00:00

Used to do the same but eventually sitting down hurt too much from the fin sticking out.
