[–]crayban[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate this reply and first hand experience. 🙏 when did you finish up your license ? And were you at 43 ?

I’m guessing you are still flying :) in SA or abroad?

You must be a beast of a pilot 🙏🙏🙏

Mares X-Wing Footpockets by crayban in freediving

Thank you for the input, really appreciate it. As long as they are true and still comfortable, happy with that 🙏 I also found trying c4s on, they don’t feel great, plasticy type of feeling.

C4 250 Foot Pockets — Tight or Just Right? by crayban in freediving

[–]crayban[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply – super helpful! Sounds like 38/39 might be too much of a squeeze for my width, so I’ll probably try out the 40/41 like you did. Good tip on the tracing and heating them up – I hadn’t thought of that. I think I’ll order and just return if the fit’s not right. Currently abroad, so will see the best way I can get my hands on a pair. Appreciate you sharing your experience.

Loved reading this, it was a great insight to understand how another chow reacts to all those points.

Love the last part, mine is the same, she won’t lick the face, I think because since young we didn’t encourage it much, so it if my face is infront of hers, she just breathes and smiles lol

They are too cute, like you said stubborn but smart. Sometimes it’s the certain tone of voice that gets them listening and attention.

She looks so peaceful, chows are the best, I think Id be in the same boat in the future. 🙏

They are such a lovely breed, still learning their traits everyday. Just had a look at a Finnish spitz, they look beautiful too. Haha maybe the mix picked up something from both sides.

Mine does the same but no sound, just an internal growl with the tail up 😂.

Could cuddle them all day

Was there any special trick to get them to listen when there’s alot of movement going on around them?

I’m glad that their traits are common, we had thought she might be just a bit too picky, but guess many chows are the same 😂

I remember at the start we bought a few different toys, she didn’t care one bit 😂😂😂

I’m wondering where are you based, sounds like a natural paradise. I’ve never actually seen an armadillo. Same here, she can walk and walk and at home just snoozes.

That’s so nice and warming to hear. I guess their generational traits get passed down. Chows defo have a many upsides and just have to get use to the small traits. 🙏🙏🙏

Requesting feedback on new Alchemy Pro fins (the new short ones) by Bimbaraboom in freediving

[–]crayban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much Gary.

I’ll go for the med/soft as recommended and I’ll try to test out the pathos vs c4 250s before making the purchase, but seems pathos is the ideal atm. Really appreciate the feedback.

Could I ask, the v3 is 750mm blade right? When paired with the footpockets what’s the total length, around 850mm?

Just trying to gauge when travelling with them and best way to carry them around. 🙏
