So how did your boards go with this last run of swell?
- Thread starter SlicedFeet
- Start date
6’9” twin pin became my DD. Never thought I’d say that but it just worked.
rode a 6'2", 6'8", 7'2" throughout the swells. Would have preferred a narrower tail on the 7'2", but they all went great. Great swell angle
my stretch legacy 2X4 5'10 worked great at rincon and sucked at cardiff reef, been riding my 6'6 maurice cole shiva with a quad set up and it never leaves me disappointed after a session.
I realized this swell i need a higher volume standard shortboard or a fun gun style board to beat the crowds

7'0 ..Lost retrogun. Really good introduction to a significant amount of foam. Paddles well and I'm able to sink it quite easy. pretty responsive to turns as long as you have your back foot far enough back.
Kind of excited to surf a fish tomorrow as a bit of a change up

I run, but not sure how kind trail runs are on the body. I don't see any old trail runners.
Is yoga even legal right now?
I'd advise watching a few clips of Rubbin' Kegel. (Check r32's longboard thread)
Then, practice in front of a mirror. Arm movements, head flips.
Then, San O.
Show off what you've learned.
Light jog is normally what I do.
Then warm up wave, nice and easy.
I never have a problem feeling limber in the water.
Problem with strength training is it's hard to find someone who knows what they're doing.
Trail ‘running‘ for movement, not for fitness (ie: 1 or 2 days a week).
As for “yoga”. Just make yourself a flowing stretch routine and that should keep you from getting arrested.
Don’t listen to VM ‘stretching does nothing’ bullshit.
Stretching (btw, I don’t do static stretches) increases flexibility which translate to greater range of motion which translates to your leg going much much farther “out of place” before something snaps.
And 36?
Dude. You’re haven’t even peaked yet.
50 year old - out!
I cleared out most of my quiver and my biggest board currently is a 6'3 stock Quiver killer, but I have a 6'3 custom ghost on the way. (I'm 6'0) I still got a couple but there was a lotta water moving with the high tides, wonky with the direction, I probably would have felt more comfortable on a beefier 6'6 plus round pin or something. Of course if I order one I won't see another swell like that for another 5 years. The Ghost should work better though
I took mine (5’10 x 20 1/8 x 2 5/8) out at some pretty solid point surf.
Paddling around and catching waves it felt too small. Riding waves it felt a bit small and on bigger sets it worked fine but wasn’t ideal. When I switched to my 6’8 SP12 quad I felt much more confident. That board wasn’t needed but it was nice.
My Fever would have been good too but it broke.
Awaiting a 6’4 round pin AO. I think that board would have been the t!ts on this last run of swell.
one thing that stood out to me was that while the crowds did slim out a bit as the swell turned on, it was still way more heads jockeying for waves than previous years.
I can handle my own in the first hour or so of a session but staying out hours longer and dealing with fresh heads paddling out and hassling, I really came to appreciate the extra foam.
Trail running is great way to turn an ankle, softsand with shoes is good workout.
valens strength in sd. quit fking around. i can lift 2 of u off the ground for reps. 1.5 yrs ago i couldn’t even pick up 95 lbs without tweaking my back
Trail running is a great way to increase mobility, balance and reaction time.
Running on soft sand is a good way to destroy your knees.
