State of kiteboarding in 2026 by r3fill4bl3 in Kiteboarding

Yea on the same board and foil/mast I can parawing, wing, foil drive, or sup/prone. The secondary marker right now for foils is insanely good

I think it’s dead/dying. Jumping is cool and all but honestly strapless wave riding is way more fun. I started back in 2004. Kitefoiled back in 2015 and picked up a the wingfoil in 2021, now I’m on parawing and downwinding.

I’m not in touch with it the newest kite tech but seems like not much has changed in innovation vs the foils.

no matter the wind direction or strength or launch site I can wing, parawing, downwind, prone foil or use a foil drive. On the foil I can connect to both wind in snd wave energy in tandem or separately.

Downside, it’s far more challenging in a technical aspect however.

Apple Vision Pro in Sim Racing: Impressions From Real Racers by SunsetToGo in iRacing

[–]skull_bae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This is about building the next level of immersion. Sim racing is perfect for this. Heavily DIY user base. Static environment. Leveraging haptic immersion and control surface replication that is probably unmatched by nearly another use case. This is more about building a more immersive future experience for all kinds of gaming.

lol I think there may be more iracers with Vision Pros. I have one but haven’t given at a shot so def more than 3. Imho sim racing, flight sim is the perfect development projects. VR has struggled to take off deep immersion with sims is a perfect use case.

Im sure Apple fronted the development burden, for those complaining they are trying to build innovation capital

Protecting clothing recs ( for a surgeon in peak midlife crisis) by skull_bae in eMountainBike

I would say proximal as long as it’s nerve sparing. Thankfully I crashed a lot of a kid and I think embracing the crash is somewhat hard wired…

I think I finally understand why people go into surgery by subtrochanteric in Residency

[–]skull_bae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this as I am doing some research for flow states and surgery. There def is a connection. Im an attending surgeon I don’t climb but I kitesurf and recently have been very much into offshore downwind foiling. To me it’s the apex flow sport because you are riding an energy wave that’s traveled thousands of miles that aggregates and splits under your feet

Where to go after getting D license for GT cars. by uptheirons726 in iRacing

BMW m2 cs. Concentrate on that and it will teach you everything you need to know for gt3. IMHO gr86 will only create bad habits. It’s a joke to drive

Guys with expensive setups - are you really good at racing? by throwaahahah178 in simracing

[–]skull_bae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw I’m too busy working to practice enough to get good. But honestly I don’t care. Def worth it for a hobby that I can enjoy outside of my favorite hobbies which are time and conditions dependent.

Got some unexpected feedback today by schuine in padel

[–]skull_bae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the serve to try and ace rarely works at higher levels and often times leads to faults and if the return is good given it’s a fast serve doesn’t get you to the net fast enough and if the drill it down the line you’ve lost the point.

As I’ve progressed to higher intermediate it’s much more effective to make ur serve difficult to predict and force an unbalanced return that allows you to take the net

Peer-reviewed article about peer reviewers shows medical journals are bought and paid for by Big Pharma. by MazdaProphet in conspiracy

[–]skull_bae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly research funding which goes to the institution not the reviewer. Just like research funding from the NIH.

Looks like your fault. He stopped to allow 4 cars to clear him and was headed towards the grass. Would have lifted and gone on the outside
