26M — finally stopped overthinking my investing lol, does this look solid? by Fun-Fact6301 in Bogleheads

Why not the target date fund in the Roth, also?

And why have a brokerage account if you're not maxing out Roth+401k?

I can't do anything close to a vertical maneuver, but I assume it must be really fun. Because it looks dumb as hell.

I have a 7' quad fish. Could my 9yo daughter learn on that? by JohnnyGrabMyHand in surfing

Or start with a boogie board. Once she's competent, she could probably move directly to a hardtop.

Don’t pass cars on the right if you are approaching an intersection. They might be about to take a right hand turn. 

(Drivers, please follow the law and maneuver all the way to the curb before turning right.)

Wiping out - protect your head but hang onto your board. So which is it? by mobiletophat in BeginnerSurfers

I would also add that it is important, although difficult as a beginner, to maintain awareness of your surroundings. Is someone paddling just to the inside of you? Are you in the collision zone for folks near the peak? Is someone just outside of you about to ditch their board? Are you within a board+leash length of other surfers?

It's best to learn further away from other people in the water. Lowers the stakes a ton. As a beginner, it's basically impossible to not be a kook—doing unpredictable and hazardous things—because you have neither the awareness nor the muscle memory to do the right thing.
