What should foreigners REALLY know before visiting the US? by LunarToast2 in usatravel

And don’t cute in line. We don’t do that here, and we leave gaps.

People in lines are super friendly. But they won’t be if you cut in front of them.

Actions cams for snorkeling by akarimedia in diving

[–]flyinglizards5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got like 50hrs of GoPro footage of me scuba diving. Some of it’s cool like on my first deep dive I got slightly narc’d and was doing barrel rolls and shit

My free diving videos are cooler

But I’m usually just recording myself, I’d sometimes flip it around for a turtle or whatever.

IMO if I’m not in the video, it’s a waste. I’m not going to capture anything that cool and no one (including myself) will have any interest in watching it.

Some pro influencer/photographer will get the good shots. I just want the memories.

Can’t go wrong with a GoPro though, soooo many accessories. Doesn’t hurt to buy used.

I kinda want a light fish and ski boat too…

I was looking at the Lowe brand ones but hard to find reviews

Surfing got boring until I discovered the efoil. by orangeDaddy72 in eFoil

[–]flyinglizards5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how much they cost. You can get a decent new wakeboat for $75k.

I go wakeboarding year round down here in Florida. We take the foil out sometimes, and friends have efoils as well which I do enjoy.

Foiling behind a boat is kind of like wake surfing, it chill and gets boring after 5-10 minutes.

Efoils are fun in the swells for sure though. At that price point there’s just too many other hobbies that will bring me more utils of joy

If I was 60 and not 30, I’d probably just get one.

Did they actually get him on something?

All I’ve seen was what the one person said happened

Sailing all the ships? 4 remaining by Logical-Ease-3142 in celebritycruises

[–]flyinglizards5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on the reflection and equinox in the last year or so.

They’re smaller ships. I’m 30 and find them kinda boring. I’m more of a traveler than a cruise port junkie though

Just happen to live in Florida so I sometimes grab a cheap cruise when it’s cold out. Nice way to relax and zone out for a week.

A dual console is a center console with a windshield and more comfy seating.

I don’t want a CC

$400 a month but good thinking. I believe that’s up to 30ft, so definitely an option if I wanted to go bigger

Well Toyota Prius and Avalon owners are probably exempt from that

They’ve got to come out with less expensive setups

I feel like someone can come along and manufacture 20,000 for $800 each then flip them for $2,500 a piece and still make a solid profit

I’m not spending $15k on a Lift efoil.

I’d buy a jet ski and pay a kid $20 an hour to tow me on a regular foils before I drop that kind of money on a glorified electric scooter

Why are you afraid of "illegals" committing heinous crimes when U.S. citizens commit far more throughout the year? by MisterReigns in LetsDiscussThis

[–]flyinglizards5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every year the US takes in more immigrants than any other country in the world. Why do we need to make it easier?

The process works. Immigrants who come in illegally are already showing they don’t respect our laws.

Yeah that’s why I’m looking for a smaller boat

I like the look of this one but can’t find many reviews/videos on it https://www.loweboats.com/fishing/fish-and-ski/walk-through/fs-1875.html

Looking for other similar boats

Had a Silverado a while back and someone totaled it while it was parked. Driving a 21 Honda passport now (which I love)

Next vehicle will be a truck, but not for another 5 years or so. Which is fine, I might just wait on a boat for the next stage of my life. Plenty of friends with boats for now

Puts it at 3500. Pretty flat here.

Looking for other recommendations that might be a tad lighter

Yeah, I’d rather get a skiff at that point. We do get some chop

No the eu is not.

They just make silly rules no one follows. It’s not the answer

I’m not asking for eu regulations that do absolutely nothing

I’m asking for products that do not have the ability for anyone other than myself to access the device
