TI Flea is in the building now? The one time I went it was way on the other side of the island and I found myself driving around the old military housing and feeling sad.

The flea market was in the building last time I was being curious about checking it out....5 yrs ago about. Am closer to the Alemany St flea market every Sunday, so if I have an itch to see counterfeit goods, I don't need to go so far.
Actually, from what I recall, the T.I. flea market was a bit more 'crafty' and less 'junky'.

OBSF people.
How often do you go anywhere else to find a wave? Other than sneaking around the corner, I largely never leave anymore. It's out front or nothing. Which often means it's nothing with a working man's commuter schedule. Granted, having young kids is a big factor here.

Almost never. Thoughts and prayers it will clean up, checking it throughout the day, but we know how that goes.
When I lived in the Mission, probably once a month. When I lived in Outer Sunset, a few times a year. Even getting to deads felt like a trek at the end.
In my full year of living here, I haven’t once.
In fact, I’ve got a little gap of time off so I surfed the past 7 days straight. Didn’t bother to check the cam cause I knew I’d talk myself out of it. Kelly’s felt more like Huntington pier for most of the last week with how crowded it had been. I surfed knee high boat wakes alone this morning, so those of you checking didn’t miss a thing.

Maybe 5% of the time? Only for pretty defined reasons though- South winds b/f approaching rain storms; chasing South swells during summer; big NW swells going 3/4x+ OH and not wanting to drown; relentless blown out onshore disorganized shitwaves (ie. April ‘23-now)…
Anyone noticing a lot more people wearing helmets? Even on non-serious days I see people rocking skateboard helmets
I've also noticed people wearing impact suits on head high days
I've been wondering if helmets are actually more likely to cause injury in the water than prevent them.
I mean sure, a big impact onto the reef and you're glad you had the helmet on.
I'm talking about the much more likely scenario where you drop in and poke your nose or maybe a full speed fin catch where you get thrown over the handlebars and you need to penetrate the water.
Wouldn't you be more likely to come away with a neck injury due to the bulbousness of the helmet not penetrating the water as easily?
That's what I've always thought.
Protects from a board to the head ar a reef/rock situation. In crowded lineups or shallow reefs, I can understand.
It never made sense to me in anything else
Damn. That is the conditions I was expecting yesterday, and we got bitch slapped with super fog. Today that sh!t finally burned off though!
just about everyone i know who truly charges wears a helmet. mostly its about board to the head.
that and hitting the water at high speed. you rarely penetrate so the helmet is not making for greater potential injury but it does reduce the risk of rupturing an eardrum on impact.
really should be wearing helmets more on non critical days. i have friend in his early 30's who surfing days are done due a head injury sustained on a head high day.
you guys post like you havent been concussed enough times to understand the benefit of helmets
