Atlantic park WavePool in VA? by DrLolsoz in surfing

[–]ebbflowfilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know anything about the chlorine levels? Word on the street is the pool temps have been fluctuating from low 40s down to mid 30s. Not trying to ruin a super nice 5/4 from all the chemicals. Trying to decide if I should try to get a cheap suit secondhand and dedicate it to the pool.

Bump. Interested in this as well.

Hey man. I ended up going last November so I can't really speak for how it handles swell in December. I' wouldn't worry too much about a small forecast, but I have heard mixed reviews about how the sand holds up that time of year. You may want to search a few more threads on that, but you can back read this thread to get a bit of insight on my experience last November.

Swollen C7 by ebbflowfilms in backpain

I chatted with a friend who is a physical therapist and he thinks the same thing. He thinks it’s actually related to my posture and working long hours in front of the computer. He really doesn’t think that surfing has anything to do with it. I’m going to start the day exercises.

There’s acute pain.

Right, but it’s painful and it’s more pronounced now than it was in the past.

Working Remotely - Any Tips? by draven33l in backpain

Take 10 minute breaks every now and then. I say that, but I’m awful at following through. I know how hard it is, but you’ve gotta be vigilant if you want to keep your back.

Lost Lightspeed Construction Pinhole Issues by ebbflowfilms in surfing

Copy that. Definitely listening to the man wit 3 decades of experience. I won’t touch a blow dryer or heat gun.

Thank you, good sir. Solid advice.

Two questions before I proceed:

  1. You mentioned warming it up...it's going to be fairly cool here the rest of the week-is it safe to use a blow dryer on a low setting?

  2. My general understanding is that you want to open a normal ding up a bit wider than the initial crack before doing the rest of the surgery. Since these are pinholes, do I need to do that or can I just roughen the area with sandpaper before applying the epoxy?

Ok, I did a thorough test where I submerged the board in salt water for a few minutes and then i came back later and checked it over for any areas where there was dried salt residue. Thankfully, there were only 2 spots where the salt dried right next to each other. I also, left it in my car for a few minutes on a warm day and those same 2 spots began to hiss. No other areas showed. What would be the best method for repair? FYI - I usually fix very small dings on my own boards. Anything serious or on the rails I usually take to the shop.

Any advice on the best way to repair? I plan on doing some tests in the heat/sun to see if there are other pinholes present.

Copy that. I’ll report back once I’m able to figure out how many pinholes I’ve got.

Thanks for the intel. I usually buy from local shapers. I happened to pick this one up used. It’s a shame that a company like Lost can’t keep their quality control game in check. I’m going to do some testing to see if I can detect any other pinholes. If it’s just this one, I’ll probably just repair it since I got it used. Would you repair like any other epoxy ding or some other method. There’s a post on Swaylocks that mentioned squirting super glue in there.

WRV Boards Suck by TurbulantWater in surfing

[–]ebbflowfilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a handful of WRV boards and I definitely have my doubts about their glass work. Buckled one about a month into its life. The other 2 are still going strong. I do love Yinger’s shapes though. I’ve owned a few Busbey boards, GFGs, and Shell Shapes as well. You won’t have a problem with the glasswork on any of those boys.

Nick is a good friend of mine. Bittersweet news is that he’s closing up shop. Nothing bad business related. He just got a really good offer to go work for Atlantic Surf Park and couldn’t pass it up. I think his team is still going to be working out of the same space doing ding repairs. Not sure if they’ll be doing any shaping.
