I used to live in central Florida, went up to Matanzas a few times - always saw a few sharks there . Don’t they call it shark pit or something? Never liked it
stretching too much before can hurt you. Its good to get the blood moving a bit but crazy stretching can make you more injury prone.
Duffy is smart but, like you, pig-headed about certain things.
And for the record, Duffy, I think you could take Tyson.
Well, would a 7’6 buzz gun be appropriate for surf you’d need an 8’6 Padillac for?
Or should I just get a normal 7’6 mini gun?
that depends on you. i paddle a 7-7 buzzgun in surf where guys are riding everything from 8-0s to 9-6s including padillacs.
not judging, just saying.
a buzzgun has the effective rail length of a board 6 inches longer (im guessing) and i do have bigger boards which come out when i feel like thats the call
the more you surf in heavy conditions, the more comfortable youll be in heavy conditions. smaller guns are fine if you are comfortable with the drama of sitting inside. bigger guns if you want the luxury of sitting way out the back.
obviously i dont know you or the kind of surf you feel at home in, but having surfed the california coast longer than you, i can guess at some of the spots you have in mind.
you would probably be best served just sticking with a 6-8 semi gun. it is way more practical for that stretch of coast
Been doing it every chance I get (surfing heavy condition) ever since I got the bug about 25 years ago.
you must be really old. I started surfing (in California) in 1980.

I have a 6’8.
I go up to the central coast a lot for work. It’s just that the last few times I rode the 8’6 it felt like overkill. To be fair (to myself) other people were riding bigger boards so....
When the surf got to where I actually would need it I just wasn’t feeling it, a couple times in a row, so I just said fuck it and sold the thing.
I practiced Jeet Kune Do for several years as well as Aikido and we always did light stretching before class.
However, I think practicing the exercises lightly and then gradually getting more intense is a better way of warming up your muscles than stretching.

I've found that mobility drills are nowhere near as effective as just doing the movement slowly (squatting for example) and gradually increasing speed (and weight).
