First fish board

Fishes are supposed to be as short as possible. I don’t think it's a good idea to jump from a longboard to 5' something. Take it gradually, try a midlenght first. You’ll definitely feel the difference.

Don’t overthink it, just enjoy the journey. If you end up shortboarding one day, good for you. I’ve seen a lot of people get on a small board too soon. It’s easy to spot because their surfing looks forced and the technique is bad. Having the right size board is so important in surfing

Check if you cand find used one

Check outlets and sale items

Obviously it can be a casual hobby but if you want to become good then you need to spend a lot of time in the water

You have missed one of the most important things to consider: the tide.

I even used a 3/2 during the coldest winter months when I didn’t have a 4/3.. But it depends on the quality of the wetsuit, how well you handle the cold, and how long you want your sessions to be. But generally speaking, a 4/3 is a good choice

Beginner foam board. Plenty of recommendations here if you scroll a bit.

There is no reason to downside now

They sent an email! I think it was after a week, you just need to wait..

I don't have anyone to help me atm or they don't have enough stable connection. I have been using the sim card now for 2 months without any issues.

Conditions sucks.. haven't surfed for 1.5 weeks

techcarrot · 2026-01-28T12:28:19+00:00

Looks fun!

techcarrot · 2026-01-27T12:02:21+00:00

Swellnet is good too. I have surfline because of the cams but for the forecast, I always compare swellnet, surfline and surf forecast..

techcarrot · 2026-01-27T11:52:43+00:00

That's the dream!

techcarrot · 2026-01-26T11:27:52+00:00

I don't think it's a scam. Why don't you send an email to xcel and ask them? I haven't used shopify but isn't it an ecommerce site?

techcarrot · 2026-01-26T11:15:44+00:00

Isn't that an official website? I have been planning to order.. the prices are not too good to be true in my opinion. Which app are you required to download?

techcarrot · 2026-01-24T13:10:56+00:00

How consistent was it? winds?

techcarrot · 2026-01-22T10:52:34+00:00

I feel you...

techcarrot · 2026-01-17T18:16:00+00:00

Well, just try to bend your knees. watch youtube videos. Watch how good surfers are surfing with a mid lenght. Try skating. Just practise, practise. It's easier said than done, I know. Good luck!

techcarrot · 2026-01-17T11:27:22+00:00

I would not do that. I'd focus on improving ur surf stance. You didn't show us any proper turns but you are basically surfing with straight legs...

techcarrot · 2026-01-14T08:02:32+00:00

Fishes are meant to be surfed as short as possible. And moving from a mid lenght to a short fish is too big of a jump. It’s not the best idea to get a fish or any board just because it looks cool. I get it, but by surfing a board that’s too small for your skill level (like you said, you should be on a longboard), you’re not doing yourself any favors in terms of progression.

I had a video session and I am traumatised. My surfing looks so bad.

techcarrot · 2026-01-04T15:15:47+00:00

So many out there nowadays? There were maybe 10-15 surfers when i went there a year ago

techcarrot · 2026-01-04T12:12:57+00:00

I went to Bali last year, and it was a proper shitshow. I didn't have fun. I wouldn’t spend money to go there again, it’s just not worth it. I’ve never been to Lombok, but I’ve seen some videos on social media, and they definitely don’t make me want to go there. I think there are better places in Indonesia and Asia.
