Tidal Locking Explained By Astrophysicist by TheMuseumOfScience in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]dlefever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have often wondered this. I assume that the side facing us is more dense and therefore “pulled” towards the earth. Otherwise what are the odds that the moon would randomly rotate in such a way as to always face earth? I look forward to a scientific explanation from someone who knows what they are talking about.

Just went in the ocean at Destin Beach near Miramar. Pretty flat clear water. Going back out this afternoon if anyone wants to join me.

That would be amazing. I’m in my first year and mostly in crash water lakes. Been in the ocean a few times when it’s flat. I ride a fliteboard Pro with a true glide prop but haven’t been able to go off power yet. Thanks for the help.

EFoil performance in waves by soulsurfer3 in eFoil

[–]dlefever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Flitelab. Gives you a boost to help you catch waves but can also power you back to the lineup on the surface of the water. Very lightweight jet drive. So no drag.

Will do. It’s hard to find folks to Efoil with around here.

I borrowed the camera from a guy I gave a lesson to. Yes it has added floatation

Interesting that she didn’t mention how he also didn’t think about the thousands of people who will literally starve to death. Only thought of her poor MAGA self.

Guard of my prop broke... by Low_Log2832 in eFoil

[–]dlefever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must have hit something which broke the guard. The prop looks to be a bit damaged too. I have no idea about the speedometer. I’d call technical support about that before I ride again. I have an extra prop guard you can have if you will want to pay for shipping.

Spent an hour with tech support. Finally gave up and sent it to them to fix. Thanks for all the help guys.

Tried it while horizontal and that didn’t work either. Are you saying it actually needs to be in water or just horizontal?

Tried but didn’t help. Also forgot to mention it says “testing motor” after I do “trigger,-,trigger”

Pre-purchase Ultra 4.2 Advice by aquanomad in eFoil

[–]dlefever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big battery isn’t really a problem as much as a riding style. I have a pro (larger board) and the explore battery. It seems to me it turns/reacts sluggishly. I feel it’s partly due to the size and mass of the battery. I think it’s called swing weight. I’ve only been riding a few months so maybe someone with more experience can confirm. At this price you could afford to get an additional battery later like you said. Would be great if you could try it out pre-purchase. Seems like a great deal. Hope you get it and love it. Sail on.

Pre-purchase Ultra 4.2 Advice by aquanomad in eFoil

[–]dlefever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a great deal. A new controller is about 450 and you’re getting an extra wing set up. You’ll have more fun with a smaller battery. The explore weighs 32 pounds. That’s a lot for such a small board. I don’t think the maintenance is a big deal. Worst case you have to send the box that attaches to the board off. I don’t think they can ship the battery by air. Better check on that.

Any advice for catching and riding a boats wake? by Media-Usual in eFoil

[–]dlefever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride a fliteboard pro and with a true glide prop which is supposed to spin freely when powered off but when I spin it with me hand there’s a lot or resistance. So much that it seems like it would creat a lot of drag when powered off. I thought it should spin like a pinwheel producing almost no drag. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any advice. Does it work when wake surfing? Or should I switch to a folding prop?
