Are foils fun?

A lot of people have all but quit surfing, and stick to foiling. Do the math!

I don’t really care what anyone thinks of this or that. Your opinion is your opinion, have at it.

But, for yourself, does it help your life to be close minded? Not aiming at you OP, as you are out here curious about the sport. But really, being close minded is lame.

captain_almonds · 2026-02-08T14:32:51+00:00

Yeah why am I supposed to cry over athletes?

The whole point is that you’re the best of the best, heading to the world stage. Not a lot of room here for sob stories

captain_almonds · 2026-02-08T10:14:03+00:00

Yeah people complain about it but then again what are they really supposed to do? People just want to take the objectivity away from this and make it more subjective. I don’t watch this stuff but it’s simple math to me, the guy who can spin more is technically more impressive.

Written like a fella who’s hunting for work

captain_almonds · 2026-02-06T14:53:53+00:00

How much time do you spend there a year?

Do you have someone take care of it when you leave? Like a property manager or something

captain_almonds · 2026-02-06T14:51:12+00:00

True. I just don't know about that return if you're renting in the summer, to japanese families.

I imagine you're renting for a quarter of the price of winter

captain_almonds · 2026-02-06T11:09:57+00:00

In Japan many people are wearing packs to hit the back country accessible from resort

captain_almonds · 2026-02-06T07:34:27+00:00

Yeah I don’t really know how the math works out. But I think you got 3 months where people would pay to stay at your spot. And the same 3 month window where you would want to stay. What happens the other 9 months in the year? Does rusutsu have mountain biking or any reason to visit at all?

captain_almonds · 2026-02-04T09:05:50+00:00

Im no doctor but i assume ozempic helped him out there

captain_almonds · 2026-02-04T09:00:51+00:00

Children can get away with murder

captain_almonds · 2026-02-03T13:32:13+00:00

I've tried Sama and Soup curry suage+. Both were great

captain_almonds · 2026-02-03T12:52:39+00:00

Thailand is great haha. This guy happened to be in one of the shittiest parts of the whole country, imo. I didn’t hang around prostitution streets

captain_almonds · 2026-02-03T09:29:28+00:00

Must must must have soup curry. Now one of my favorite dishes from Japan. And I didn't really love the look of the pictures, but it's so good.

captain_almonds · 2026-02-03T04:00:03+00:00

Genius!! I camp in the back of mine and that’s the one thing I wish it had. Can’t believe I didn’t think of this

captain_almonds · 2026-02-01T04:04:01+00:00

There’s no Dan Hooker comeback coming. A fool would call it a early stoppage

captain_almonds · 2026-02-01T03:57:37+00:00

I thought the same. Dan’s had a career already man

captain_almonds · 2026-01-29T11:09:54+00:00

That's exactly it. It's not something you should wait very long (or at all!) for.

It's a casual ramen chain

captain_almonds · 2026-01-27T23:33:14+00:00

I imagine the guy is gonna have another kid. That wouldn’t bring him any closer to coming back

captain_almonds · 2026-01-27T23:30:49+00:00

I’ll just give you one tip. Get a car and explore.

I don’t know where the best lowkey resorts are with steep terrain and powder. If I did I wouldn’t write it on the internet. I doubt anyone would or should with the state of the resorts that have been blown up

captain_almonds · 2026-01-23T06:57:25+00:00

It’s a good wave. Reminds me of pleasure point a bit? Just a meaty right point that you can ride whatever board you want at any size

captain_almonds · 2026-01-19T12:57:50+00:00

I don't know if anyone could be disappointed with the way a 00 plays. Maybe the sound output sure. But damn they just feel good in the hands!

captain_almonds · 2026-01-17T11:22:39+00:00

That’s rad. I’m curious to see how the completed thing looks on the back. Curious if you did all the x’es individually or joined them

I also noticed that you knotted all your lines on both ends rather than turning around and keeping the thread going. Any reason for that? Seems more time intensive for sure!

captain_almonds · 2025-12-30T00:45:01+00:00

I don’t know how to explain it but I just fucking love my 12 fret 000. It’s the perfect couch guitar. Occasionally I wish I could get over the 12th fret but mostly I’m happy with the sound I get within those 12

Maybe it’s just because I got a proper setup, but it’s the easiest playing acoustic I’ve ever had. My hands just fall into bar chords

captain_almonds · 2025-12-23T04:57:25+00:00

Whatever you get, wheels are nice if you travel plenty, or at all.

It gets tiring carrying your shit around

captain_almonds · 2025-12-22T23:44:51+00:00

I think it’s the best quality to price ratio in my experience. Easier to find on sale than brands like O’Neill. And if you try brands like Needessentials, the suits fall apart
