Re: General snow stuff

I was a little underwhelmed by that jump given the prep, to be honest. It shows just how good the world record is off a standard jump.
We went to the jump just outside Oslo and they have a really cool ski museum, everything from cross country to ski jumping.

I know it's an inch thicker, but even allowing for that it's way, way heavier and stiffer and harder to paddle in.
No wonder it's a bit stiff.

Will pay the premium for this next time. https://surfisurus.com.au/collections/wetsuits/products/shield-2-2-zipfree-fullsuit-wetsuit I have the 3:3 version and it's great. Even when it's really 4:3 hooded weather I wear the isurus for any surf under an hour as it's so much nicer. Still think zipper...

The mat hydrodynamics theory and the planing hull theory would seem a little at odds.

No sense of kook entitlement like the entitlement that comes with a paying customer getting what they paid for.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Obviously.

On some projects I'm learning a lot, foamy. And trying some new stuff. On others I am trying to teach others stuff I have already done elsewhere, in new contexts. There's something interesting in every project.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Had a work meeting at a surf spot on SE Oahu, East of Diamond Head.
3-5ft left hand reef break, offshore wind, nice steep walls. Just our crew on the peak.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Huie used to send me a bunch of fins in different materials and templates and sizes because I could give him feedback like Buddy's post above, and I'm not a great surfer by any means.

Re: General snow stuff

Grooter I blame you specifically for the great weather we are having, ever since you bought your gear.

If you are interested, the Indy Pass goes off sale today. I got one for next season.
