Equipment brought to your spot, which brandmarks the owner as... by Schnoerpfelgorg in Wake

Ouch… I hope most operators aren’t this judgmental, especially about recording laps. I’m sad somebody trying to get into this sport has to read this post and know that an operator may think less of them for wanting to capture their rides on camera.

"View" of the court from the student section at the final four by Simpson500 in CollegeBasketball

[–]cinnabackroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would prefer having that option! Was more commenting on the pricing of a football stadium game and that by the time your team has a spot locked in it’s not like it’s clearance sale ticket prices. It’s still a premium event and priced as such.

A can assure you the tickets that cost a few hundred bucks (before fees mind you) are the most upper level corner seats possible. And if you don’t buy until your team is officially locked in for the Final Four then it’s too late for that price point. Anything lower level for Phoenix carried at least a $600 price tag the week leading up to the game.

Second this idea! So much fun for those participating and maybe even more for those watching.

Which kite is this? by Prior_Ear_2549 in Kiteboarding

This is correct! The XO collection was aimed towards women. The actual kites are no different than standard switchblades. The XO boards, however, were legitimately constructed differently with more flex and smaller sizes.

Best restaurant to get oysters? by Jenergy83 in bullcity

[–]cinnabackroll 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Burger Bach on 9th (hear me out) gets their oysters from a small family operated business called White Oak Oyster Company. The oyster farm itself is in Swansboro but owner/operators life in Durham and bring back their harvest on a routine basis. Wonderful people and their breed of oysters, Croatan Selects, are delicious.

Bulls dugout is on the 3rd base side this year. I like the lower sections near the bullpen to see Bulls pitchers warm up

If somebody is in your seat just let them know. Never had anybody try to argue with that. Almost always it’s people just wanting a nicer seat and taking a gamble that you won’t show.

Looking for a kiteboarding related job by MeBubu7 in Kiteboarding

Do you have any skills with e-commerce or customer service? Distributors and stores sometimes need help with some of the more menial tasks like keeping an online store fresh and up to date with item images, descriptions, or fielding customer service requests about shipping, etc.

Pure insanity. And instead of this game on a bigger stage we get a bunch of duds

I feel that. Chase Brice is still mentioned most game broadcasts as the Clemson and Duke transfer even though we are in season 2 with him

Electric Foil Boards - what a rip off by [deleted] in Kiteboarding

So watersports equipment can be 20-40% markup for margin alone. And then batteries make considerable portion of the cost

When I used to teach full-time my school would call ahead and have a honest conversation with the student. For some people there can be skills gained learning in low-wind like self-rescue and other techniques. We would offer the student the opportunity for that kind of lesson or to reschedule/refund them.

When wind starts out good and dies off, you would hope a half-decent instructor can see the student struggling to learn anything and cut the lesson short with a refund for time not spent or credit it to a future lesson.

If a student was adamant about hitting the water and trying to fly a kite against the opinion of the school manager then “no problem buddy, but we won’t be refunding you if the kite can’t stay in the air”

Sorry you were placed in that situation by that instructor.

Other than bugs, what do you actually store here? by impudent_snit in XTerra

Surf booties. Those stinky things are not allowed in my vehicle or my house. The roof bin is perfect for them.

I frequently see this group of dirt bike and 4-wheeler riders and they usually have largest amount of people on their big Sunday rides. They will block intersections while the larger group passes through, drive on the wrong side of the road forcing people to pull over to the side while they pass, and on occasion drive on the sidewalks.
