Cheap fin options by angrytroll123 in surfing

[–]djjoeytea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the shop I work at we carry some genuine futures fins that are just plastic that we sell for $15 each. That’d be your best bet for something cheap but as other mentioned you can always go on Aliexpress too

It’s a lottttt of work for a few waves when it turns on but it just makes them more rewarding!

Regardless of what you think of his new content, at least for me growing up I’d binge watch his “Who is JOB” series and he has always been one of my favorites

I totally agree but somehow it was a tiny crowd out yesterday and everyone was so nice. Surreal experience at that spot hahaha

Super nice dude, more mellow in real life than in the vlogs but he was super cool with chatting and taking a few photos which was sick 🤙

Libtech: Yay or Nay? by Forsaken_Activity463 in surfing

[–]djjoeytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried one and for me the thing I didn’t like was the paddling. For some reason even though it has a lot of volume it just didn’t feel like it glided as well between strokes and I didn’t feel like I was getting the most out of each paddle stroke. That being said it was really fun once I got on the wave so it’s definitely got pros and cons in my opinion

Any north bay/Sonoma county surfers here? by ExtraFirmpillow in surfing

[–]djjoeytea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in sonoma county and now live in San Francisco so I’ve got some experience with all those breaks. Salmon creek is a great beach break and depending on the year it can have some incredible bars, it can get heavy there but not quite as much as ocean beach in my opinion. Dillon beach can be some fun longboard waves, especially towards the south end of the beach and is a great place to learn. In the winter you can surf a bar called Shark Pit or Baby Shark put in the middle of Tomales bay, Doran can either be a heavy close out or the tiniest ankle biters. All fun spots

Favorite step up board of 2023? by One-Improvement3575 in surfing

[–]djjoeytea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a used Al Merrick 7’3 by 2.25 by 19.5 super drawn in and easy to duck dive but crazy fast it’s been super fun for OBSF and some of the surrounding breaks when it gets from like 8-12 ish feet

Went out to Mavericks for my first time yesterday! by [deleted] in surfing

[–]djjoeytea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was only about 15 feet and breaking kind of inconsistently since it was super short period so more of a Mavs tour but still super fun I’m excited to go back out someday

My daughter missed school due to a case of acute skiitis, and ends up on a chair with her teacher... by benconomics in skiing

[–]djjoeytea 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this was recent or not but there’s a website called Surfline that I get my forecasts from, it’s pretty cool you can see incoming swells, wind, tide all from up to 16 days out
