    Ryan Burch Surfboards

    Whenever he restocks he has a few regular size boards, and then a bunch of the hobbit variety. Why is that?

    Fiji Airways Board Bag Fees

    Yea I got destroyed on the way from SF there. Something like 340 a board bag because of the check in baggage fees ($200) on top of the board fees ($140) On the way back it was a lot cheaper as they charge in the functional currency of the country you're flying from (FJD), and I think the Fijian...

    Pyzel Precious

    Ride Report I was able to take a stock 5'9 (30.8L) Precious for a spin yesterday in the points north of SC. I'm 180-185lbs and 6'0. I'm in pretty good shape as my local is OBSF, and I just came back from a couple weeks in Hawaii. Conditions were chest-high to a few feet over head, not overly...

    ZIPPER - by STAB

    Yeah I went a few times when I was younger (I was also a way worse surfer). I ended up surfing here on an old 7ft HaydenShapes mini-gun, as it was the only board I could get my hands on. I didn't have boards with me as I didn't think it would really pick up swell. Decently long paddle out and...

    ZIPPER - by STAB

    First section with Taro and Eithan is Cloud 9. I think they drive up to Pacifico for the 2nd part of that one (I've never been north in the island)

    I've watched this and Maps to Nowhere today and would've never expected the Philippines to be featured in both haha

    Fiji Airways Board Bag Fees

    Man echoing what everyone else is saying. So jealous and looks like with that swell all the waves in that area will be working! I was there in November and Cloudbreak got a massive swell, guys out on 7'6's and a tow team out. I went to Swimming pools on a 6'2 Ghost and got OH+ to DOH waves to...

    Mizata El Salvador with the wife?

    Bring the Bom Dia! I'm bringing mine when we go down in July. Last trip to El Zonte I mainly surfed a varial CI Pro. Kind of a mistake bc I definitely did not need that much rocker (even on the bigger days - it got almost double overhead for a few days). It was very responsive and turned on a...

    Maldives, worth it?

    Any of you guys hit the Maldives in Sept/Oct? If so how was it? Thinking of going there for our honeymoon. We've already done Fiji, Indo a bunch of times. She's mostly a longboarder, and had a tougher time when it got bigger when we were in the playgrounds area (Ments).

    Anybody ever rent a car from Turo?

    Had a bad experience renting a Turo. Told my gf we shouldnt use them bc you are dealing with an individual instead of a company that specializes in rental cars. Scuffed the front bumper in a snowbank (VERY minimal). The guy then reports it saying it was a collision (scrape was less than two...

    If I were a rich Canadian

    Weekdays are usually not as busy. I always could get maybe 30-40mins by myself even on weekends, but I would have to be in the water right before the sun came up

    If I were a rich Canadian

    I guess its the trade-off of time vs. chance of scoring for the hike-in spots. Most of the time I wouldn't have the time to hike into spots, even though I know there would be a good chance of them working. Having a boat in Tofino would be so so good though. Lots of good spots that have no road...
