Hey there, Got my car stolen which had my wetsuit and surfboard in there. Anybody here have any homie deals on either of these items? Would greatly appreciate it.

Hello. I am looking at getting a Vissla 3/2, and am right in the middle of MT and L. I am 5'11, 174 lbs, 39in chest, 33-34in waist. The size chart has me at MT in weight and chest, but L in height and waist. I am leaning MT because I have been told to size down as it will stretch a bit with time and water flowing into it, but wanted to see if anybody had a suggestion. Lets say hypothetically going into the store and trying one on isint an option.

Thank you!

Hello!

Looking at doing a surf trip to Lombok or Sri Lanka this June for a few weeks.

Wondering if anyone has any advice or recommendations on waves/costs/crowds? Potentially looking at doing a surf camp, good way to get some tips/tricks and also transport and knowledge of spots. But also pretty happy to things self-supported - just don't have heaps of time as can only realistically squeeze 2-3 weeks of work max. Thinking potentially a surf camp for a week and go solo after that.

I'm an intermediate surfer, confident in most surf up to overhead, but definitely struggle a bit with crowds (live in the deep south of New Zealand so not a lot of experience navigating busy lineups, I was in Bali a couple years back and despite the waves being really good, struggled a bit with that!)

Cheers

I’m getting married this November.

Bachelor party happening sometime before October..

There’s nothing I want more than to go to a beach where the few of us who can surf bring our boards and everyone else can throw some fins & catch some party waves on the boogies.

We all do pretty well for work, mid 30’s, All spread out across the U.S.A, open to traveling anywhere under 7 hours flight time. Ideally not having to rent wetsuits but not a deal breaker by any means.

I think it’d best to avoid crowded areas for obvious reasons haha.

Where can we go for the kooks to catch some waves on the boogies?! Where should I be looking? Any super beginner friendly surf trips?

What areas may have potential? Does this place even exist?

Thank you in advance!

Have a credit for Alaska airlines, have to use it before June, where would you guys recommend? Was thinking maybe Costa Rica again but was wondering if anyone else had a good recommendation. Needs to be accessible via Alaska airlines.

I’ve currently got a 9’8 Bing Levitator that I love but thinking about trying something new. The board took my noseriding to a whole new level but I’d like something that is a bit more speed oriented and less of a nose rider, but if I can still walk the board and cheater 5 that is a plus. So looking at the 10’6 Bing Glider, has anyone ridden one? Can’t find many personal reviews online. I’m also very interested in the Spoiler and the Majestic

Hi guys and girls,

I have this Vision 6' Quad Fish (soft top) I use for fun in the North Sea "waves" in Holland. Recently i got myself some Aliexpress honeycomb Quad Keel fins, and I'm wondering, can be fins be too large for such a relative small board? I'm 180 cm and 80 kilo's without wetsuit. Just wondering. The black fins are the ones that came with the board. Smaller and plastic.

Like to hear from you, thanks!

(And yeah, i know a soft top board is not sexy, the combination does not match etc, but i do really like the board. :) )

I’m looking for just short, well-shot high-level surfing with chill copyrighted music in the background, no fluff or extra.

All the surf videos on YouTube that i see are hour-long films with a lot of non-surfing/non-music minutes. Or if I find a video with music it’s just generic copyright-free instrumental stuff.

Any channels that just post high quality 5-15 minute videos of shredding with good non-copyright-free music and nothing else?

Got a little time off start of may, looking to book 5/6 day trip, unsure where but thinking Indo. Intermediate surfer, budget is open, travelling by self. Looking for a some ideas, flying out from Perth, Aus.

Last night we can pivot plans and looking for advice. We have a place in Gerpuk and we're hoping that shoulder season might pan out. I'm noticing that pretty much every day there are at least 7-8 knot onshore winds at least predicted, but conditions are sometimes listed as fair to good. Experience 7 knot onshores can mess things up a bit, but I don't know waboit Gerpuk specifically, and looking for insight as to if it's still a fun spot with low onshore winds or if Surfline is outa whack on this one. Other options would be pivot to Bali, but probably a bit intense for significant other.

Looks like a super fun everyday shorty in the normal dims not the HPSB dims. Was hoping for some reviews/feedback before I pull the trigger?

hello,

I recently ordered a board from a very well known shaper in SD. I asked for a dark red board and the sides of the board look right, but the top middle/majority of the board came out very pink.

is this common? Any experience on handling this? it was pretty expensive $1400 or so, so I expected it to be right. I even provided a physical color swatch....

Hey y'all!

My buddy and I booked a flight to Marrakech in May and was looking at going to Tamraght to surf for the weekend. Before booking, I noticed people in Taghazout were getting sick after a day in the water due to sewage management issues, but most of the posts seemed to be a couple years old. I was wondering if anyone has any input on this, as we'd love to explore the coast but would like to avoid any stomach issues as its the beginning of our trip.

Thanks!

I noticed there is around half the amount of women in the CT compared to the men, just thought I’d ask if anyone knew why? (This isn’t a negative post, just curiosity)

Headed to Nosara, CR soon and considering bringing my firewire.

Part of me thinks I can just rent something similar there and not worry about it. The other part thinks would be nice to use my same stick.

What sways you to bring a board vs rent on a surf trip?

Anybody have experience with Formula Fun/R-Series? I previously took my son out on the front of my longboard and he loved it, so i’m considering getting a getting a foamie like the Formula Fun 9’6” due to buoyancy/ease of catching waves, and inevitable wear & tear from kid use. I’d prefer not getting a wavestorm due to the layer separation issues, but I could be convinced if the surfing hive-mind disagrees.

There must be a lot of you here. Surfline is a big company. What's it like to work for them?

Very suspicious marketplace post https://www.facebook.com/share/1UbLu8KKcPfWQLVo/

5 Surfing Boards, almost New for Sale. Perfect for surfing. Different brands and sizes .

4 of them are soft tops but that turqoise board could be more sentimental to the owner.

Went on a surf trip and did about 8 hours every day for 7 days straight. By the last day my shoulder started hurting quite a bit but only when I lift my arm above my head.

From your guys’ experience does this sound like shoulder impingement? It has been a week and a half and the pain is reduced but still there. Am I good to workout as long as I don’t go in the range of motion that hurts? How should I go about healing the issue.

Thanks!
