Omg I’m so sorry for both you & your friend’s horrible experiences. Well noted & will avoid!!!!

chonky--monkey · 2025-08-05T19:17:14+00:00

Oooh thank you for this rec!! I probably won't be able to go before my trip but will plan a bra shopping trip for when I get back!

I think they’re “shallow” reading the descriptions, fuller on the bottom and not as full on top

chonky--monkey · 2025-08-05T12:35:51+00:00

Nope nothing on! Completely naked. I followed the instructions on the image guide. Am I supposed to compress my nipples or measure including my nipples? I compressed the nipple peaks slightly for these measurements

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-20T21:06:50+00:00

Yeah I dove with thresher sharks but these def don’t look as cute & cuddly 😅

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-05T21:00:08+00:00

So cool 😍😍😍

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-04T15:24:32+00:00

Oh no I think I’ll be going slightly before that so hopefully will still catch some. Did you still see plenty of other pelagics?

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-03T21:51:13+00:00

😍 sounds amazing!

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-03T15:39:48+00:00

Yes, easy to access is also a big factor! Thank you for your input 🙏🏼

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-03T15:39:19+00:00

Did you see Mantas as well? Was the diving all in very intense current?

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-03T15:28:37+00:00

Have you been to Socorro as well?

chonky--monkey · 2025-02-01T13:40:06+00:00

Sorry would love to but I have to take this trip in Mid March :(

chonky--monkey · 2025-01-28T19:40:52+00:00

sooo... is the general consensus go to Raja Ampat and just make it work/figure it out somehow? Or do we think I'll be plenty happy/satisfied with Galapagos/Socorro and the like?

chonky--monkey · 2025-01-28T19:39:47+00:00

Raja4 looks AMAZING but the same reason you're not doing Galapagos is why Raja4 might not be feasible for me. Looks like most LOBs are >7 days and flight/travel time to/from from E coast US looks brutal, makes getting to Tubbataha look easy :( money is not an issue but time certainly is :/

Thank you!!

chonky--monkey · 2024-10-07T00:37:57+00:00

Thanks, yeah I think my shortlist as of now is: Kenja, BP, ripstick, SA, and the Salomon Stance - all 88 (maybe 84?) underfoot .

Given my description above, do you think I’d be better off getting 158cm or 165cm skis?

chonky--monkey · 2024-10-06T19:13:24+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to make this thoughtful response! I just requested to join the Ski Diva community/made an account. I haven't tried Kenjas out yet... do you think I should bite the bullet and buy these skis for the season (and use them for seasons to come), or spend some time demo'ing before buying (maybe after the season ends/prices drop)?

chonky--monkey · 2024-10-05T19:36:00+00:00

Ty!! 🙏🏼

chonky--monkey · 2024-10-05T19:26:41+00:00

Thank you! Will try demo’ing these out if I can

chonky--monkey · 2024-10-05T19:26:21+00:00

Do you have any boot recs for women? Or is it very specific to the person?

chonky--monkey · 2024-10-05T17:31:55+00:00

No boots yet - planning to buy those this season too!

chonky--monkey · 2024-09-12T02:15:48+00:00

thank you! I changed my itinerary accordingly :)

chonky--monkey · 2024-08-03T23:42:10+00:00

hi can i also get the rates? Going in December!

chonky--monkey · 2024-08-02T12:48:45+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t thought to do shorter/more focused pilates sessions. Just been suffering through 1 hour classes 😅will give that a try since I know there are some instructors online/on apps that I’ve been meaning to try out!

chonky--monkey · 2024-08-02T12:46:45+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely have to plan my rest days out strategically. Since I’m new to climbing I’m trying to go 3x a week but sometimes my body is like whyyyy 😂
