(Part 2) Best surfing equipment according to redditors

Roof rack pads and tie down straps like this set are what you’ll need. Make sure the pads fit the type of roof rack you have, some are round and others are flat.

Just about every surfboard made in the last 10 years uses FCS1/2 or Futures fins. Looks like this board is using FCS 1 (but double check on that). You can order a quad setup pretty cheap on amazon. I use the ho stevie fins cuz i'm cheap.

my 3mm booties works fine for me in those conditions. I have to wear a fin size larger to accommodate them though.

I have one I ordered on amazon it was about $40 a few years back. Has held up awesome for me and it makes me feel extra dapper when taking the board out in front of the homies.

Highly recommended!

It's just a nylon braided strap.


Fyi they make leash loops that can't replace one of the fin screws for soft tops like this

Cassio Tide watch that I've been wearing for 5-6 years. Has needed a battery replaced but its cheap and fast to replace through Cassio repairs. Thing has been great for me.

-This is a good idea to get so you don't scuff up the board early on. Otherwise I wouldn't mod anything until your first 100 miles.

-Definitely get a guitar stand as well. (you'll have to bend the it up a bit so the tail isn't sitting on the ground

Any surf shop has it as well.

No it would not harm the board. If you are worried about riding it with four holes in it, you can buy plugs for bodyboard leashes to cover the holes. Here is something that would work. You would need to buy two for total of four plugs.

so confused now. so many options.

this looks like it might be enough depth and area. would you say this would be the inbetween point of my 8.5 kinda rakey fin and your yater spoon. and do you think ill feel a difference if i go to the in between fin, or best i jump straight to the big boy.

I'm also 5'4 110ish and I found a 7ft board on Amazon for $150 by california board company that I've been learning on. So far so good! I'm including the link even though its saying out of stock :( https://www.amazon.com/California-Board-Company-Slasher-Surf/dp/B0768BQQ4G

Yeah I had the same problem, so I removed the original grip tape and made a concave footpad with this surfboard foam grip and some silicone: https://www.amazon.com/FOAMMAKER-Universal-Versatile-Surfboards-Skimboards/dp/B073ZCXBZ7

They haven't created anything unique.

And that's just what I saw with a quick Amazon search. It's really a simple tool with obvious use cases.

Everybody seemed to get a kick out of our last stickers so I thought I'd post the new ones. I'm working with Steve Nazar and Tak Kawahara to reboot the classic DaBoys graphics from the '80s. We got some requests for Joe Cool so here's the result. Rockin Stickers posted this pick on their IG.

We sell them on Amazon in packs of 2. Check them out here

Thanks!

I haven't tried it, but this might work for you - https://www.amazon.com/Frogfish-Pivoting-Spring-Loaded-Replacement-Shallow/dp/B01JDTJW8O

This. I have a Creatures Slim Triple like the DaKine he linked to. Great bag, horrible to travel with. Especially with 3 boards, all your shit, etc. Weighs a ton and the strap will fail on you, regardless of brand, purely because of weight when all your shit is stuffed inside.


Get wheels, you'll thank us later.
