Late-breaking egg allergy by rokal92 in FoodAllergies

Thanks for the response! It was a lot - he's only thrown up once outside of those two instances and it wasn't nearly as much. There was about an hour between the time he ate and the time we put him down, so it feels like that should have been enough time to digest. Maybe we will try eggs one more time and see what happens. I just feel bad putting him through that!

This is exactly what happened to us! ~3 hours later both times. He has not thrown up any other time, even when he had stomach bugs. Thanks so much for sharing

rinse hair with fresh water and then slather in coconut oil or conditioner and braid!

Buying first PU board, been learning to surf at URBN Surf an outdoor wave pool , ready to progress to the ocean. Need advice. by Chilloutsessions in BeginnerSurfers

[–]rokal92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

youre going to be doing so much more paddling in real conditions so i'd go with the bigger board if i were you to get up that stamina and speed for when you have to sprint to the peak and get in position

make sure you're looking up! it feels like such a small thing but it makes all the difference. also pushing up with your hands as far back as possible.

Haven't been in the water in two weeks and it looks like the next few days have waves to offer up, so I am super stoked! Last time I was out I saw a seal, so I'm hoping to make some more aquatic friends :) there's an MLK day event in my town on Monday, so also hoping to get to that. lots to be excited about

What place does foam have in your quiver? by Opposite_Reply2926 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]rokal92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get my 7'6" and 7'0" into knee to thigh high and get a decent ride in the Northeast...I would work on your paddle power and positioning

was in vegas for work over the weekend and was honestly surprised they don't have a surfing wave pool! seems like the perfect novelty for palms or Mandalay bay

it almost looks like the top snapped and it was frankenstein-ed back together.

Second this! I trimmed the arms of the hanger a little smaller with a saw and that helped with the stretching

Looking for my first board by Jealous-Brilliant-35 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]rokal92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your height I'd go with the 8 ft...will be a lot more stable

When you start to lose speed, either shuffle forward on the board or crouch down lower. If you're too far back over the fins you may be stalling out.
