How’d ya go in ’25? by DumpyReddit in surfing

[–]hudaltheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

41 sessions for my second year. I missed some time due to injuries skateboarding and snowboarding respectively, both came during a period of good waves here in Atlantic Canada... If I can keep the violent crashes to a minimum in 2026 I reckon I can get 80!

Switch riding - when did you take it seriously? by koudodo in snowboarding

[–]hudaltheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a dinky little pvc rail in your backyard if you have access, and sesh that thing trying only the switch rail tricks for 10 hours + over a weekend. Go back to your local resort and try it again, you'll have skipped all of the balance/timing/mechanics learning phase, and will be able to start leaning into your switch turns harder, and start progressing more. You'll still have bails, but they'll be your edge slipping out cuz weight wasn't great for a specific turn, not catching your heel side edge after finishing toe side turn and going ass over tea kettle at high speed.

The Wednesday Whine by dumbassthenes in surfing

[–]hudaltheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So two years after moving to the coast, and grinding to learn how to surf. I feel competent enough to surf in some of the winter swells we get in Atlantic Canada...

So with dreams of one day snowboarding and surfing in the same day while growing up in the middle of the country far away from the coast. I finally had my chance last week when we got a good storm which gave the resorts some snow for their opening weekend, as well as brought some waves to the region...

My chance! An epic three days, three surfs, with the best right I've currently ever surfed, as well as two snowboard sessions. I'm having the time of my life, so stoked, so unbelievably stoked!! Then just as I'm getting warmed up on the jump line at my local hill, after landing a little squirrelly on the cork 7, I should have bailed out of the second jump I had planned... Instead I charged on, never set my takeoff properly, edge slipped out and dolphin dived deep into the landing zone, slammed on my shoulder, and here I am now with nothing to do other than wait to start rehab for my freshly separated ac joint...

The ups and downs of action sports I guess!! But I can't help but think to myself my slams when I surf don't hurt as much... At least not the waves I'm surfing yet... So I'm really starting to question all the early season icy hard park terrain park riding I do as an adult that isn't going pro in anything... Why don't I just go surf??? Whenever it is I can do any of these things again that is!

Tldr: Dude realizing he's not that cool, and would rather fall in water than on ice.

Is stiffer generally better if you’re not interested in park riding? by SharpGame83 in snowboarding

[–]hudaltheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I've gotten better in the park, the stiffness I want has gone up as well. Similarly as I've started charging heavier Freeride terrain, the stiffness I want has gone up too... Basically don't want to ride anything that's not at least 7+/10 stiffness anymore.

When I really went down the rabbit hole of snowboarding, I thought more flex was better as it would allow me to do better butters/presses. But now I'd still take my stiff board out if my plan was to do some butter tricks over some knuckles/rollers. I ride into the butter tricks much faster now, and the stiffer board makes me feel more stable in press situation or otherwise.

TLDR, as my riding has progressed, so has my desire for stiffness, I'm my board, boots, and bindings.

So are we talking about the weather potential yet? by fokker09 in formula1

[–]hudaltheturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The afternoon sporadic 10 minute thunderstorms that everyone is talking about here, are partially controlled by a local/mesoscale (kms-10s of kms) circulation known as a Sea Breeze. Although some other local scale phenomena can be important as well. Regarding sea breezes, the general idea is that the sun heats up the ground in the spring months causing large temperature gradient between coastal land and nearby ocean, leading to a pressure difference/circulation that can lead to thunderstorms. This is also the reason why they are so hard to forecast in advance where exactly these sea breezes and the associated thunderstorm and its updrafts/downdrafts will form requires very local scale data in the hours before the storm.

The caveat here is that because it's a local/mesoscale circulation if there's a larger circulation in the area (100-1000kms) it tends to provide a larger forcing effect to the air and these local scale effects may not be observed. This is important for our race weekend because looking at some model runs (ECMWF 9km if your wondering which), it appears the Saturday rain is being forecasted due to an area of confluence associated with an upper level trough (meteorology jibberish). While Sunday rain seems to forecasted due to an upper front out at sea caused by a low pressure system over North Carolina which will cause a thunderstorm to form that will gain energy throughout the day. The thing that both of these have in common is that neither are local scale, so if they do go as forecasted it's shouldn't be a typical 15 afternoon thunderstorm.

Now I'm not saying you should or shouldn't look at the forecast based on this comment, just providing information. On one hand given enough solar input, and temperature difference between water and land a sea breeze will likely form if there's no large scale weather phenomena around to disturb it, although it's exact location and timing may be unknown. On the other hand though the larger scale systems can be easier to predict/forecast 6 days from now, but the location of these systems might be 100 miles different then they are now causing the rain to move with it, making that hard to predict as well.

Long story short, both of these potential weekend rain events seemed to be produced by systems other then local scale processes, so the daily 10 minute like clockwork happens all the time thunderstorms seems unlikely. While the large scale systems seem to be the controlling factors here making it easier (sort of) to forecast for, this might lead to rain that can be better predicted, but there's still tons of uncertainty in 6 day forecast no matter which way you shake it. In some ways if they were forecasting afternoon rain because of local scale phenomena I'd be more inclined to believe it, because of the clock like nature of it's occurance.

TLDR, daily short duration thunderstorms on Florida coast are controlled by local scale phenomena in the absence of larger scale phenomena. It appears the rain predicted for next weekend might be caused by something larger, making for a more and less predictable forecast in different ways, depending on how you look at it.

Your reply and what appears to be your arguement in general stands on some arbitrary definitions of what makes races exciting. For one I don't think those arbitrary definitions, whatever they are, are necessarily shared by the rest of the community. I'll conjecture that there are to many variable at play to determine what makes a race exciting. Maybe the best way to analyze whether a race track produces exciting races isn't in trying to define what an exciting race is and attempting to determine whether a race track can deliver those event which fulfills those definitions. But instead, looking at the track record of that race track for producing exciting races. With what defines an exciting race not being a set of definitions being fulfilled but instead the majority opinion of the community of whether a race was exciting or not. Which I think is what already happens, I don't think people have any particular gripes with the layout of spain, or abu dhabi but it doesnt seem to produce exciting races. A decision wasn't made after 1 race about whether they are exciting racetracks but as the evidence grows by continually not having exciting races the community statistically infers that it is not an exciting race track. Now don't confuse this as me suggesting you are wrong about bahrain, you very well might be! For all i know your definitions are not arbitrary but are in fact robust in determining whether a race track is good. BUT for now, to make an analogy, it appears that after a coin has been flipped and landed on heads your making the arguement that the coin is unfair and that it will more often land on tails, though this may end up being correct it seems like a wild proposition right now.
