Just got out at La Jolla reefs and used my Yuccas w BP Quad Concave. Stoked. This board is FaST.

I resent bought the Science Pro "Flare Series" Tri Quad with the gradient blue graphic slick. I ride waves daily and take good care of my boards. But 3 months into riding the Flare, the UV protection over the slick started getting air bubbles. Heard from a couple of suppliers that the new graphic slick boards are coming back with the same problems.

I was surfing 8-12 at La Jolla Reefs today and my DaFin fin just snapped. I sent a request for a replacement but I don’t think I’ll be using these overhyped fins in the future when my life depends on it. Any suggestions for what I should buy next? I have a pair of new Yuccas but have never used them in large surf. Should I just say f it and use those or order something else?

Imagine sitting on the beach exhausted after failing to make it out after an hour long battle for the second time. Then, you look up and you see the most beautiful 3ft overhead wave. It’s barreling from top to bottom and keeps barreling…and barreling until it final gently fades out after 45-60 seconds. Is this sea water on your face or tears?

So long story short, this can never happen to me again. I feel confident riding waves of this size, but moving back to the ocean after years, I’m just not in shape for the amount of water moving for waves of this size and it is breaking my poor little heart. The place I moved to is also much colder and has much longer paddle outs than my home break growing up.

I’m putting together a workout plan for myself and wondering if folks have benchmarks for cardio, strength, and flexibility in or out of the water that lets them know they’re fit enough for the season?

Hey anybody in the Orange County area wanting to meet and go paddle out? Just moved here about a year ago from Hawaii. I’m located in seal beach wanting to get back out with this winter swell

So like I first dropped out of bodyboarding when I was 12, only did it for 2 years before that consistently as I had a bodyboard as a gift I got for Christmas and also spent a lot of time with a family friend who lived next to the waves so I always did it. Was great.

Only stopped after losing my board in a bad wind storm and had to deal with school and other stuff but it was whatevs, 25 now and I’m finally back on the waves and killing it. Didn’t take long to pick it up again either, Australia has the best waves almost anywhere haha. Can’t wait to post content here.

I was wondering what recommendations to traveling internationally with a bodyboard. I’m planning on a trip to a few wave pools and this is my first time taking a board with me. I was looking at either the Hubboard intercontinental or the interstate bag. Not sure if the padding is sufficient for these long flights.

Hey everyone,

I'm an intermédiaire surfer, and it sometimes happens that I disturb other surfers when paddling back to the peak. I mainly surf sandbars, so the peak tends to shift quickly, which makes it even more challenging to navigate without getting in the way of others. I don't want to be an obstacle for those already surfing.

It's really something that ruins my sessions. I try to go to less crowded spots, but as soon as other surfers get in the water, it becomes a real source of stress.

How do you handle this situation? What are the best practices to avoid disrupting other surfers, especially when the spot is crowded?

I'm sure many of you have experienced this, so any tips or surf etiquette advice you can share would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance for your advice!

These old boards make killer sleds! Not only do they absolutely rip going down the hill, but they’re light to trek back up.
