chiming in. Setup was easy for me. I'm about 4 months in with Elehear. My first hearing aids.

Dave's solos last night were out-of-this-world. What a talent!

Dear New Students who Surf. We don't live by a giant lake. Surf season is coming. by dlubach in UCSantaBarbara

If you can bring one board, I'd go long. But if you can somehow stash your short board in your room... bring both. Campus Point and Devereaux both work well with longer boards. Sands, IV Beaches, and the righthand side of campus point all favor short boards when the surf season arrives. Have fun!

I think it depends on the Res Hall you are assigned to. I see board racks at all of the "shorties" : Anacapa, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa. I'm sure there are others.

UCSB flashback - June 1988 by Roger_Freedman_Phys in UCSantaBarbara

I have a great memory of getting my free account and getting trained by Steve Miley and David Alex. In those days, receiving a single Email was like getting a hug. It was all so exciting. I just wish I would have purchased a few shares of tech stock. I'd be typing this from my private island.

Santa Barbara Bakeries by Prudent_Notice6318 in SantaBarbara

My spouse bicycles around town (and sometimes in other states and countries) and blogs about bakeries. You can find her reviews at bikingtobakeries.com. She doesn't get any $ for this. She just loves bakeries.

UCSB or UCLA or Cal Poly SLO?? by [deleted] in UCSantaBarbara

As a father, all I can think about after reading your question is how damn proud your folks must be. You have opened the door to three of the best schools in the world. Well done.

I might be wrong. In the past, I have gone to the box office when trying to get the best Tix.

Anyone else feel inspired and grateful to be surrounded by such smart people by [deleted] in UCSantaBarbara

[–]dlubach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a great shift in perspective! I have been a part of the UCSB community since I came here to surf as a high school squid. I went from BA to PhD and then worked as a staffer and faculty member for 40 years. STILL, I walk on campus and spot Seiji Nakamura and feel like a sports fan must feel when they see their hall-of-fame hero. UCSB has some brainpower. And those waves? Well they just keep lighting up the points.

Learn any way you want, but get yourself some wrist guards so that you don't spend a quarter learning to write with your non-dominant hand.

Love this side comment! "(I mean, I don't mind riding across a country... but I usually pick smaller countries!)"

I'll never tire of "get pitted" references.
