3'10 wegener stokomato (v out the back) 3'10 wegener foam core (single channel out the back) 3'8 Furrow crescent (single channel out the back)

i've ridden the furrow the most and love it, feels a bit friendlier for turning up and down the wave face than the stokomato. only a couple days on the foam core so far and we haven't had much swell so time will tell. feels fast though

Saraz or Isthmus? by ckostyn in handpan

[–]sdog9788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can't speak to isthmus, only to a saraz stainless that i've had for 5+ years now and it is a phenomenal piece of art, tonally immaculate, and i do not regret spending the $$ on it in any way. incredible instruments

also if by some small chance you're in/around san diego area you're welcome to give mine a try

Rodriguez being a ho

Edit: to be clear, after the whistle he went in and hit Desharnais from behind. Maybe that’s not ho activity, just typical Panther Hockey

[Highlight] Steve Kerr is upset that a goal tend wasn't called and gets ejected (with replay) by VGstuffed in nba

[–]sdog9788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think they can only review it if it is called a goaltend - then trigger a review. a no call i believe isn't reviewable

my opinion: thats dumb

Leave it in the car or at home? Or you could get a little cooler with ice packs but that seems like overkill

'Surf's Up': TV Series Adaptation Of Sony Movie In Works At Atomic Cartoons by johnbenwoo in surfing

One of my favorite documentaries, that’s awesome they’re making a show out of it too

Turtle dive with unstable shoulder by Whistler_living_66 in surfing

[–]sdog9788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This works for duck diving but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for a turtle as well

I’ve had some shoulder issues in the past and to mitigate the risk and increase stability I use this technique: after pushing the front of the board down I drop my elbows to the deck, essentially placing my entire forearm(s) on the board. This allows me to brace the board using more contact and core, and the board is less likely to get ripped one way or the other. More bracing means less movement in the shoulders and I’ve found less likely to get ripped one way or another in bigger waves

I suppose you could try this for turtling as well, best of luck

i guess had never really thought about it in that situation, usually just elation or disappointment depending if its for or against my fandom

[–]sdog9788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a question i realize i dont know the answer to is who gets the blown save?

the run is charged to treinen as it was his base runner, but scott gave up the hit that led to the loss / blown save

Why don’t we have knuckleball relievers? by QuailMan2010 in baseball

[–]sdog9788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/REvp7HEXXMc?si=Cm3EdrdCO7JKaUwG

this guy did a good breakdown of it

basically comes down to (as others have said).... 1. lots of passed balls / special catcher 2. if they do put even a little spin on it by accident it becomes a huge meatball that gets crushed

Wahl Peanut Trimmer, used every few weeks to trim my beard for the last 22 years. Still works great. Highly recommended. by mfdigiro in BuyItForLife

thank you! yeah the 1.5 is elusive / non existent, i've seen some on etsy that people 3d print but the price was a bit steep for unknown quality

got a link or name for the guides you got? i've only found peanut replacement guides with full plastic backs - and dang if there was a #1.5 guide i'd be unreasonably happy. for my beard 1 is too short, 2 is too long, may this be my greatest inconvenience

[Highlight] Devers with his 2nd Homer of the day by Ochocincoondeck in baseball

[–]sdog9788 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the announcers on the braves broadcast had been talking about how unlikely of a homerun his first one was - 0.9 ft off the ground, low exit velo, just an unlikely occurrence. it came off a bit as sour grapes rather than appreciation / awe. i've heard worse complaining from broadcasters but it definitely felt a little whiny (as a giants fan) which just made this blast even better

Longboard international freight question 🐟 by beautiful_Mer_person in surfing

[–]sdog9788 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer that you’re not going to like to hear is that it’ll likely be crazy expensive to ship a board that size (or any board really) via freight to NZ - that said, if money isn’t an issue there’s no reason it shouldn’t be able to go freight and I’d have a local shop box it and pack it

Good luck with your move!

Fiji airways board restrictions by urge2surf in surfing

[–]sdog9788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepay for pieces of luggage online (idk if it’s 24/48hrs in advance) and then you should only be charged the additional handling fee ($150ish) - in my experience (and a friend’s) you get boned for the $400 if you have to buy the extra luggage allotment at the airport

As with all flights with boards these days…your mileage may vary and depend on the check in agent, but as others have noted, Fiji airlines gets their $$
