    YOLO ALERTS

    Neither, I'm in Cologne. Dutch North Sea is actually closer than German North Sea. I did the math on the maldives ride report, unfortunately it's not 3 surfs every week but an average of 3 surfs a week via taking a lot of time off and surfing as much as humanly possible during the holidays...

    Precious 5'11 x 19 3/4 x 2 7/16 Astro 5'7 x 20 5/8 x 2 5/8 Great built quality. Girly colours I know.... Step deck on the precious is a trip, and we'll see how long the pad stays on for lol. Astro feels really really fun. Will be another few weeks before I'll get to surf them unfortunately.

    Various ride reports

    If you're on a charter boat or a resort island Allah doesn't seem to mind, no booze on the regular islands though.

    Various ride reports

    I get 6 weeks of holidays plus another 4-6 weeks as compensation for working overtime. That's between 100-150 sessions, plus the odd day trip to NL. Still sucks though, I'll be landlocked for the next 2-3 months. On the bright side, I'm always hungry and don't take any sessions for granted.

    Various ride reports

    I paid 75 usd/night for half board, plus 10-20 bucks a day for boat transfers. Certainly not the cheapest trip ever, but usd/wave was insane. We had 3 lay days, the pic of the cali twin was the worst conditions I've surfed in. The lack of post surf cervezas was a bit disturbing though haha.

    Various ride reports

    I've just spent 5 weeks in the maldives. We scored some pretty fun little swells and I thought I'd give you degenerates a ride report of the boards I was bringing. I'm 6'2 at 195lbs, 36 years old and identify as a male. Dadbod, but reasonable fitness level still and have been surfing for about...

    Kolohe Andino - No longer on O'Neill

    I'm having a bit of a hard time with this brand. Might be an age thing :shrug: But the stuff looks generic, volcom, former etc. have done similar designs with anti-establishment vibes, but easier on the eyes. The claim is to be a core brand, with shots being fired not only at ABG brands but...

    TC Sinner?

    I'm currently riding a cali twin which feels a bit wide yet undervolumed. The twin plugs are rather far forward so I'm not really loving it as a straight twin. The sinner is pretty narrow for how chubby she is, and the plugs seem to be further back, so two issues solved. Intended use would be...

    TC Sinner?

    Has anybody ridden one? Not much info on the interwebs. I could get my hands on a second hand one at a very reasonable price, but I would love to hear how it works in smallish waves first.

    Sweet boar! If you happen to have some h4s give them a go, I've had great success with them. Didn't care for the ams, they felt a bit unpredictable. Mf more betta, but a tad stiff.

    *** Official Fin Thread ***

    I'm sure it's designed around it, think it's more of a personal fin setup preference / or muscle memory even maybe

    *** Official Fin Thread ***

    I'm in the same boat as you, recently got a cali twin and haven been struggling with fins a bit. MRs feel fine but not magic, MF feel ok, power twins too stiff, BMTs (twin only) way too loose. I think I'm more of a twin than a 2+1 guy.... Have been debating whether to get a set of AMKs, now I...

    Postcards from the maldives....board is a pyzalien 2, set up as quad (has been swapped for a wills fish since). Had some really fun surfs last week. Couldn't really surf my brains out unfortunately as I had a tonsillitis and was on antibiotics. Tonsillitis no.4 this winter, got to have the...
