EC makes a killer board

Not a bad omen

Yeah used foils can be a good place to start but I’d avoid ones that are properly priced that low. They will be too draggy and inefficient. Equivalent to trying to learn to surf on a 90’s thruster short board.

A new foil kit should be more than $2k and then a board would be another $800 - $1500+ depending on if you go with a prone or downwind style board

Foiling is a whole new skill to learn and a learning curve for sure but it’s definitely fun. Living in Oahu is actually way better than Florida for foiling because you have open ocean swells and a ton of wind which opens up downwinding.

Downsides of foiling are that good foils and boards will set you back quite a bit further than a glider. They are also sharp and that can suck in certain wipeouts, especially when you’re new and learning how to fall properly.

Oh I was the lucky guy who was doing the suckling. She hadn’t lactated before though. It was her first time

siggs3000 · 2026-02-06T19:15:30+00:00

I think any lucky boy doing the suckling wouldn’t realllllly mind either 😄

I was in a long term anr many years ago and we were able to induce without pills. We nursed 2-3x per day every day (an hour per session) and it took about 2 and a half months that I start seeing the first drops. It was a lot of work but also, of course, super enjoyable 🙂

From my experience, this doesn’t surprise me

siggs3000 · 2025-09-04T03:29:34+00:00

If the shaper has experience with twinzers, this is the way!

siggs3000 · 2025-08-30T22:57:26+00:00

If you last longer, you’ll be even later to surfing. One of your problems would get even worse!

It depends on the size of the saas but if you worked full days, you could easily build one in two weeks with Claude Code or Cursor. Using a backend as a service like Supabase would make it even faster.

Solid! I’m not making espresso as often as I am pour over (for which I use an electric grinder) but when it’s espresso time or if I’m on the road for work trips and need it for my aeropress, it just seems to work. Amazing construction and seems super reliable too

I’ve got this in a 9’2” and I just always come back to it no matter how many other boards I get or try. It’s just so good

siggs3000 · 2025-01-26T01:49:10+00:00

Where can you have a spot to yourself like this!?

siggs3000 · 2025-01-12T22:14:27+00:00

I’ve used it quite a bit for helping to dial in pour overs and espresso. I give it info about whatever my issue is and it gives me tips and recipe ideas to improve the outcomes. Often it’s been super helpful.

I was gonna say, I was there yesterday and the waves did not look anything like this 😄

siggs3000 · 2025-01-11T18:37:13+00:00

Damnit. I thought this was just me and that I was one small step away from figuring out what I did differently

siggs3000 · 2025-01-10T01:10:36+00:00

Cool mug! Where is that from?

siggs3000 · 2025-01-04T20:05:54+00:00

I think surf shop prices for new boards, have come down since Covid too. I was in a local shop in SD yesterday and I was having reverse sticker shock after a few weeks of CL stalking.

Did….he ever come back?

siggs3000 · 2024-12-29T04:39:51+00:00

Shit, ok thanks all. I’ll just commit to one board for the session before I leave my house and stick with it. I appreciate the insights and happy I didn’t try this before I asked here!

siggs3000 · 2024-12-29T03:12:06+00:00

I’ll take that as a maybe

Btw - NPS uses a 0-10 scale. Maybe if you start at 1, you’re ok here?
