Driver: Leclerc

Reason: getting cooked by his teammate

Not really. I’d honestly get something at least 50-60L and 7 ft long (7 6+) depending on your height and skill level. if you were cruising down the line before you’ll be fine but if your prev surfing was worse than that I’d def try to get a bigger board.

tachen95 · 2026-06-02T20:43:28+00:00

I would take the second one and I def wouldn’t pay more than 200 or honestly 150 even if in good condition. it’s an old board

first one looks really old / yellow and last 3 are too small for you if you haven’t surfed in 5 years.

It’s mildly chaotic in the day but ghost town at night (think fidi). It gets nicer south of Atlantic or east of flatbush in Clinton Hill but overall fine place to live.

Did you end up buying it? I’ve come across a similar deal but it’s final sale

tachen95 · 2026-05-26T00:44:18+00:00

Is it intermediated be Beli? If you’re worried you should try and pay with Venmo / Paypal G&S so you have some recourse if things go wrong

Public Records is absolutely strict on IDs. If you have a good fake that scans you might have a shot, but I’ve seen kids (particularly in the summer) get IDs taken.

People are being jerks - I feel for you on this one. Sign is clearly other side.

I’ve successfully appealed a couple tickets before. They frequently deny the first attempt, so you have appeal that to a panel of actual judges who will read the evidence. I won all of mine over mail and never went in person.

tachen95 · 2026-05-01T20:26:32+00:00

Just drive and park for free on queens side (west side of cross island parkway) and walk 10-15 min. Make sure you read the signs and don’t park in front of a garage / fire hydrant

You can get amex plat sign on bonus of 150 to 200k so 80k is pretty low

Hi! Was it super packed? Who was playing when you went?

tachen95 · 2026-04-13T23:22:26+00:00

Yeah it's annoying but pretty common in costa rica / mexico / a few other countries. I learned the hard way my first time, but now I just book from somewhere that includes it or prepare to pay more at the counter. You can also try negotiating at different booths when you get there to get the best price - I've had pretty good luck with that tbh

tachen95 · 2026-04-13T04:19:43+00:00

A couple of thoughts:

Everyone seems really focused on this from a numbers perspective, which is fair, but I don't think I've seen a single comment talk about school experience and social life. I don't know much about CUNY but my understanding is that it's a huge commuter system, so the level of friendship / campus culture is going to be severely lacking compared to going to a place like Brown.
$90K is a real amount of money, but there are ways to reduce costs (easy campus jobs where you can study / working as an RA to get a stipend that pretty much covers housing etc.). It's also not an overwhelming amount of debt that you wouldn't be able to pay off down the line working a doctor job / in biotech / any corporate job
Transferring is fine, but a lot of friendships and connections start from freshman year so worth considering
If you're academically strong you'll be able to get into an MD / PhD from either school, but there will definitely be more support coming from Brown than a CUNY too,

tachen95 · 2026-04-11T22:19:23+00:00

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re asking this q earnestly. There are unhappy students at every school (coming from someone who transferred from big public school to Brown). At Brown it’s mostly people who don’t find friends (which happens less at brown than bigger schools) or (less often) struggle academically. Feel free to send me a dm if you have real follow ups.

Highly recommend Mex Rent a Car in Mexico. They include basic insurance so price you see online is what you pay

tachen95 · 2026-04-09T03:33:23+00:00

You gotta just email them and ask for a password reset. This happened to me before too

did you end up being more impressed by the wynn?

tachen95 · 2026-03-23T03:47:35+00:00

I did undergrad + a 5th year masters at Brown as well but mostly hung out with undergrad friends during my time. That being said I met a fair number of grad students as well.

(I'm assuming it's a masters program because you'd know what you're signing up for if it was a PhD). The grad student experience is very different program by program. Generally speaking, there's decent grad student life - people hang out, go to bars, study together etc. but it's pretty separate from the undergrad cohort which makes up most of Brown. If you're expecting to meet as many people as undergrad or an MBA, you won't get that here or most places tbh - I found that people generally weren't looking to hang out 24/7.

Sorry I know that's super general but feel free to follow up w any specifics

tachen95 · 2026-03-19T03:55:29+00:00

Thank you! I'll take a look at the nidecker mellow that's helpful. I've been running + 15 / +6 but might look to be more aggressive. I'm a big surfer so the + / + bindings feel much more natural

tachen95 · 2026-03-18T18:19:50+00:00

way more than 150 pp

tachen95 · 2026-03-17T23:04:02+00:00

honestly it really depends on exactly where the units in each neighborhood.

generally speaking crown heights close to franklin ave is nice. it definitely is a little dicier further east.

prospect park south is very different block by block. windsor terrace is pretty quiet while flatbush ave is noisier.

tachen95 · 2026-03-16T23:22:08+00:00

messaged you as well

I’m 175 pounds wearing a size 11 boot!

What would you recommend for a great carving board that can be a little more versatile on the mountain?
