Re: Looking for a Better Fit, Modifying Swim Fins

i use the ultra softs in everything. i get around pretty well with them but don't swim around too far. maybe go 200 yards in either direction. i surf mostly beachbreak. i have the size large so trying them on is not going to help. there are some shops in jersey that carry them but not too sure how c...

Re: THE PHAETON F-44 BARRELHAWK

I'm pretty sure I saw the shaper of those boards back in 2018 at Oxnard Shores. Didn't get a chance to speak to him though has he suddenly disappeared since I was down the beach a bit. He has a couple boards in Ventura surf shop last time I was up there in December. They've been sitting there since ...

Re: New Blank

Hey Thomas did you end up getting this blank? Thinking of shaping again and wondering what the customer service was like. Tried getting a blank from them before and took forever. Ended up getting one from US blanks instead.

Re: yucca fins

I have a pair off the ultra softs. I started with the standard flex but they were hurting the joint on my big toe and foot come together. Been going through a lot of differant fins and I am glad I found these. They have plenty of thrust for most conditions but if it is really small I struggle gettin...

not sure if you are aware of this service but if you can find a shop that does epoxy this could be a option.

Was a good time even though the waves didn't cooperate with us. Good to meet a couple posters I haven't met yet and see some of their boards. I have some pictures but I believe Rod has more than what I took.

I'm only staying Saturday and Sunday night. Haven't heard from Kage yet. I'll text him. I don't think it'll be a problem to switch names in the reservation.

That's a bummer Kage. What do we have for a head count of who's going to be there? Either for the day or staying overnight.

Yes I have the same number Rod. Was that question directed to me Rod about Calif herbal joke? If so I generally refer to LA as the gauntlet if I have to drive through it.
