Did someone just say SUMMER PROS?? Man oh man I miss those ol summer pros... As 3/2 weather approaches - hopefully they will be back at a beach near you #saltlife
Signs of springtime? SUPS Surf schools Dudes in spring suits with boots Webbed gloves yellowed old Al Merrick's Those head phone things people are wearing More Go-Pros Doyles/BZ/foam boards Kayaks Lesbian women in surf trunks/sports bars Bennys Shoobies Convertible with NY plates with longboard sticking out the top Kooks you haven't seen since last September yelling and carrying on, about their epic exotic winter surf trip (to California)
Easy there njsurfer42, I've been known to wear the 1.5mm reef boots while trunking it just to keep the feet from getting cut up if I'm at a reef or rocky beach. Clearly I prefer the feel of bare feet on my board but cutting up feet leads to infection and a huge impediment for days no matter how much neosporin I apply, which is always copious. This guy does look like a serious piece of work though hahaha!
that's totally different; hell, i own a pair of reef boots & have made use of them on trips on more than one occasion. those are not reef boots he's wearing, though.
For sure. Truth be told, at times I'll bust out the 3mm boots when I'm charging 60F water in SoCal in trunks and a 2mm topper just to not have cold feet along with cold nuts and calves. Sometimes that's at Trestles so it's further justified with the bottom. But that dude's shorty, no way is ever rock one of those. I do like the 2mm SS full suits though.
What do you mean? Dude is pushing the envelope cutting edge leveraging forward swept wing design from aeronautics. Unfortunately from the pix of him tipping off that cream puff wave, he may have suffered "Yaw instability" and the consequential dutch roll. From Wikipedia "Forward-swept wing": Air flowing over any swept wing tends to move spanwise towards the rearmost end of the wing. On a rearward-swept wing this is outwards towards the tip, while on a forward-swept wing it is inwards towards the root. As a result, the dangerous tip stall condition of a backwards-swept design becomes a safer and more controllable root stall on a forward swept design. This allows full aileron control despite loss of lift, and also means that drag-inducing leading edge slots or other devices are not required. With the air flowing inwards, wingtip vortices and the accompanying drag are reduced, instead the fuselage acts as a very large wing fence and, since wings are generally larger at the root, this improves lift allowing a smaller wing. As a result maneuverability is improved, especially at high angles of attack. At transonic speeds, shockwaves build up first at the root rather than the tip, again helping to ensure effective aileron control. Yaw instability One problem with the forward-swept design is that when a swept wing yaws sideways, one wing moves rearwards. On a forward-swept design, this reduces the sweep of the rearward wing, increasing its drag and pushing it further back, increasing the amount of yaw and leading to directional instability. This can lead to a Dutch roll in reverse.
Really? I guess you haven't tried the new McTurdwich, it's the sh!t. You know its spring around here when hair gel, tanning product, and tattoo sales start to increase.
We have a couple guys who match their wetsuit color to their surfboards. It's adorbs. Ya I said adorbs.
Speaking of funny, you guys know anything about this 'Joe Motion' guy? Never heard of him till recently, idk, his surfing makes me uncomfortable.
