Do not do the double paddle at the end of your drop in. It slows you down, and if you misjudge when your last paddle is, you are not in a position to continue paddling. just keep practicing a...

what size?

At this point, this thread, and the OP behind it, is comic gold. This guy has to have been trolling us the whole time. No one can naturally be such a tool. he talks about his pure love of surfing,...

Your explanation of how to measure a wave made my morning. thank you. not because it was right, or accurate, or even remotely close to how any experienced surfer measures waves, but because it made...

"bodyboarding some waves he could catch to feel the ride and the relationship between the board and wave."

Usually when someone mentions bodyboarding waves, you assume they are wearing flippers...

1. make sure you have the right board. being undergunned is not fun.
2. make sure you know the break, and what it involves when it gets big.
3. make sure you are in the right physical shape to...

And after 3 pages of posts telling the OP that he made a massive mistake, he posts another novel about how he didn't make a mistake...

if you were a local that respected the area you would call a friend, ask someone at a local surfshop, or find out any other way OTHER than posting a question about secret local spots on an internet...

I've had a CI Remix for my "main board" since March 2012. Its been to Costa 3 times in that time. surfed every spring, summer, and fall swell in Jersey we've had (doesn't float me in my 5/4). It...

thanks, have a mild case. was able to go to work during the first phase of it, being mostly stomach related. this spiking fever phase though has drained all energy, and i'm home today...

Just got back from a week in Negra. 5th trip i've made there in 4 years. Have never had a problem with it, and neither has anyone from my group (and at times, we went down with the GF's and...

First, of course most fatal sun cancer's occur where there is no exposure. Those are also areas (under your hair) that aren't regularly looked at, so the cancer is caught at a later time, when it is...

At 6'2" and 135lbs you might want to spend your money on food...

Just work on your duck diving. I'm 5'9" 180, and my winter board is a 6'2" CI Pod (37+ liters of volume). Way too much board for me, but the ease of paddling in the wetsuit is why i ride it. Plus...

thanks everyone, all the advice is appreciated

My current board has gullwings as well. Are they basically the same as what a Carver is?

Would you recommend them for the smaller board i am looking for?

thanks. And i would definitely put a smaller/harder pair of wheels on this smaller board, and put a big set of soft wheels on my cruiser.

Thanks. Looking for all of those things, and no intentions of bringing it in a half pipe. possibly a skate park and using some of the ramps like you would a pool or bowl, but other than that..

Looking for some advice on a longboard skate. I have a 42 inch Sector 9 basic cruising model. It's great for getting around town, and has a real smooth ride. In the right situation, I can do small...

Costa. Fly into Liberia, and bypass Tamarindo, place is a dump. I would stay a few nights at Hotel Playa Negra. Great restaurant, cool little bungalows to stay in, and 2-3 other quality places to...

both mentioned already, but just to second it, low tide Playa Negra and low tide rivermouth at avellenas. avellenas has dry reef on the take-off, and negra has dry reef on the inside. either way,...

if you look at the "board selector" tab on the channel islands website, you can type in novice and your weight. It says you should ride a 5'8" Pod. Your buddy's board is 2" shorter, and not as...
