    Long COVID

    Haven't been on here for a while due to not surfing for the last year. Anyone else's surfing suffering due to Long COVID symptoms? I'm about 13 months in and have only been able to surf a handful of times starting last month. My symptoms are similar to chronic fatigue syndrome, varying levels...

    Why Do We Have A Politics Section?

    Seriously. If people want to talk politics can't they just go to a political forum? Why is it here and can't we just all agree to remove it?

    Rusty seemed uninterested, but I appreciate Noel pushing him for little gems of wisdom.

    Switch Stance?

    Anybody ever try to do it with success? I've been thinking about giving it a concerted effort. Odd thing for me is that I'm left footed, right handed, but surf regular for some reason. Used to skate goofy, then switched to regular. Wondering if I might have any success surfing goofy if I...

    Best design for duck diving?

    OBSF is the only place I've been rejected on paddle outs. This dude has way more tenacity than I can muster any longer. Impressive, but maybe I just need a better duck diving board? Volume back, high entry rocker, with a touch of rolled spiral vee?

    Kaua'i Podcast - Max Medeiros

    Been listening to the surf splendor podcast that had a whole series on people from Kaua'i for those interested. Highlight so far for me is an interview with Max, a local legend in surfing and just a wonderful human. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/surf-splendor/id677929014?i=1000470265750

    Technique and Coaching

    Any experience on focusing on technique and getting coached out there? Always found it odd that although surfing is a highly technical activity to get good at, focusing on technique and getting a coach is not really a thing. At least in the US unless you're a kid looking to be competitive and...

    Front foot traction convert – Will I be banned from the erBB?

    Dear erBB council of elders, the ultimate authority on acceptable surf gear: I am a recent convert to front foot traction, please do not discontinue my account and ban me from the board! A little backstory. Ever since I moved from a tropical locale to one that requires a 4/3 all year round...

    Futures Blackstix Review

    Here’s a quick review on my experience with Futures F8 Blackstix. First off, I am 195 pounds and have used these in my HS Untitled in various beachbreaks (mostly OBSF) for over a year now. Initially I absolutely loved these fins. They literally felt like being launched by a slingshot and I...

    What makes a board yellow?

    Is it the resin or blank or both? All my pu/pe boards have yellowed some, but it seems to be rather slowly and mostly based on exposure to the sun. My 6 month XTR 8.0 has already started to yellow, way faster than any pu I've had. They say 8.0 uses a nonyellowing epoxy resin. Is it the blank...

    Futures New Jordy Fins - What's the diff?

    So last year I got the old Jordy fins (L) and like them. Now Jordy says he didn't even like his old template and created a new one ($$) that seems very similar to the AM2s and his old template as well. For anyone who knows, what's the difference between all of these templates? Can't I just put...
