Re: yucca fins
In Utah? Wow. Change of scenery. Msg me as to location. Periodically I/we take road trips and Utah is a frequent stopping location, but none planned in to the region in 2025. Are you riding river waves? Simpson, the founder of Vipers just recently passed away. I had some good communications with him...

Re: yucca fins
Thanks for the offer but please spare the offense. If you bring them back I could give them a go for evaluation purposes, take some measurements, weigh them and shoot some photos. I do suspect they would fit on in part because the yucca short vs long fins have a structural design problem. I also sus...

Re: yucca fins
Its been a couple of years since this thread was started...any new reviews of the Yucca Standard Flex? DuckFeet have been my goto fins for nearly 40yr, due to their stiffness and resulting thrust. But, there has always been a certain amount of pain that goes with wearing them. Primarily that has be...

Re: Bellyboard (Kickboard) Swim Pool Workout
I had a friend who uses(-d) a bellyboard/kickboard at his exercise pool. Although fresh water is less buoyant it should still be a workout. Makes sense to lay on or to hold the board in the same position as out in the ocean to replicate as closely as possible your ocean motion. How do you like your ...

Re: River Surfing Paipos & Bellyboards
They started paipo surfing a river to the north of you, in Montana. But nothing super serious like the folks in Colorado.

Re: Lindsay Lord Hybrid
Yes, very nice wave but a little bumpy at times. I usually let my mates catch the first one or two of the waves in the set pass through so my wave would be smoother ;) But hitting one of those cross chops could have me airborne for 10 yards. The wind rushing up the wave meant keeping a very low prof...

Re: Lindsay Lord Hybrid
Nomas, Lord did mention testing that sled in various surface conditions and how the aspect ratio could affect the planning characteristics. He also addressed to some degree a V-hull in the forward nose area of the plank. That V-hull is something I speculated about in a post a long, long time ago on ...

Re: Lindsay Lord Hybrid
Yes, that is correct, 19.2 inches. But, I wouldn't get too bent out of shape going up to 19.5 inches or down to 19.0 inches... but, going to 22 inches or down to 16 inches begin to reveal changes in the pure science of it. Most likely one will introduce curve into the form and maybe some level of ro...

Re: new pad?
You might be able to dig up some thin sheet polyethylene at an area foam supply store. Some of the dense closed cell might take to wax better than the thinner cell. If not a foam supply store a lot of packing companies carry the stuff.

eBodyboarding Kevlar Fin Socks
eBodyboarding has a new fin socks offering made with kevlar weave soles it appears, in 3mm and 5mm thicknesses. I have not personally tried them but believe we would all be interested in learning how they fit, how rugged the soles stand up to walking across a variety of surfaces and mostly about hol...

PHP now updated to 8.1x. Looks like everything is running smoothly. My son taking off at Steps on his bodyboard a long time ago. We were there about ten minutes before paddling out to Tres Palmas on a nice 8-12 ft day with nobody else out. Maria's was packed. Steps-AlexTakingOff.jpg Paddling back ou...
