I never thought I could find happiness or live a normal life. I’ll be turning 30 years old next month, and I have been struggling with mental illness since I was 8 or 9 years old.
I don’t have friends from my childhood. I didn’t have any hobbies. My parents didn’t think I would graduate high school. I didn’t think I would be alive today.
I was never active. I wanted to surf, but never believed I could. So I didn’t try. I was not a consistent person before so even if I tried I may not have stuck with it.
Life isn’t perfect. I’m single when most of my peers are married or settling down. I don’t have friendships that go way back. But I worked on myself over the last 3+ years and I came a long way.
I finished school and I’ll be starting a career I love. I found hobbies on my own, and took surf lessons, and I made an effort to make new friends.
I feel content, and hopeful for the future. I’m proud of myself and I hope one day I can make a positive difference in the lives of others. I feel happy.
Be warned, if you buy a black surfboard the wax WILL melt off at the first hint of sunlight (even when left face down at times). Think you’ll put more on to replace it? Not possible, it’ll be too hot and just smear whatever wax is left.
Please, learn from my mistake
This is the best board we've ever ridden. It paddles like a longboard but turns like a shortboard! The rails are refined and sharp but also very forgiving. Under the board you'll find the right amount of concave and rocker to glide through flat sections in a lake, but also make the drop at Mavericks if you've got the travel bug. Speaking of traveling, this board is made of the most modern Noble Gas Construction making it literally invincible. It's also lighter than any material weighed to date, but hardy enough to handle chop that would sink a battleship. This thing is squashed down a bit to stay tight in the pocket but also stretched out to make really drawn out turns. This board is rated for 0 to 12 feet, but, if anything, we found that range to be too conservative! We'd recommend buying one between 10 inches shorter to 8 inches longer than your traditional shortboard. For fins we tried everything from 1 fin to 5 fins and it worked better in every set-up than the last. Here's a couple quick surfing clips of some of the best pros in the world who could literally surf a boat oar better than you will ever ride a surfboard.
Just wanted to know from you if you also think the surfboard is way to loud compared to every other sound?
Its an awesome glider but thats a reason i wouldnt use it often.

I'm looking to rent a good board while I'm in Tamarindo. I was going to fly with a 7'6" Lost Smooth Operator and a 5'10" Christenson Fish but I didn't realize United has an embargo on traveling to LIR with a surfboard at this time of year.
I'd rent for sure but I don't know what my chances of getting an actual good board are. I'm happy to buy something used and then sell it when I leave but I don't know where to look.
I'm asking for suggestions on where to rent and/or facebook groups or classifieds where I might be able to pick up a used board.
Hiiiiii so I'm looking to just buy some surfboards from other people's Nook stores since you only get one design per island! and if you have any DIYs you don't want, I'd be happy to learn them LOL! Normally I'd go to FB for this, but all my ACNH groups seem to be dead now :((
Are there any risks/concerns/tips to paddling out to sea on a calm day past the breakers and fishing while sitting on an 8ft surfboard with 9ft surf rod?
He’s playing a warlock with a home-brew patron (kind of like galactus) and I want to give him some sort of ability or magic item like the silver surfer’s board. Can it fly? For how long? Recharge at dawn? I want this to be somewhat balanced for level 1 but it doesn’t really matter.

(Update) From your advice this is what I came up with, with the ability to upgrade when I see fit. It seems fine, it’s more flavor for his character than an OP magic item. If that changes it just means I get to use the fun part of the Monster Manuel.
Come catalog, simple panels & surfboards!
Hi! If you’re looking to catalog one or both items, leave me a comment saying your favourite in game season :)
After leaving the airport go to your left, I’ll be there with a white bow, also if you want to go shop you can do it just go straight north to my little plaza.
I'm looking for surfboards that are not the "cool" color scheme (green/black). I can offer the cool surfboard, bells, building materials, star fragments, or just name something you're looking for and I'll see if I have it.
Hi, I'd love to collect all colour surfboards (I only have the brown and red one) - would be more than happy to bring you a brown one as a thanks! Or if you're looking for anything else, lmk :) Thanks!
Edit: Thanks so much everyone, I've got them all now!!!
So I started my surfing journey about 2 years ago. I was on an 8ft foamie to start, then progressed to a 7’10” mini Malibu, to a 6’6” hybrid board and purchased my first groveler shortboard this past January. Recently I got the wavestorm fish to screw around on in beach breaks, but realized I’m frothing way more on that board than I am on the groveler. The only meh part is the rail lines suck on the foamie. So I guess my question should I
A) continue riding the groveler until it finally clicks for me
B) ride this wavestorm fish more often until I’m super comfortable on it and then maybe the transition to the groveler will be really simple
C) I actually need a slightly different style board for my skill level.
Some notes about me. I surf about 4-5 times a week. On both the fish and the 6’6” board I have no problem getting into waves, I also can get into waves on the groveler just miss some of the ones I attempt. On the wave I can carve, but my top to bottom carving isn’t super critical and I’m not throwing a ton of spray. The 6’6” dims are 6’6”-20-3 (~45L) the groveler dims are 5’8”-20.8-2.6(~35L) and the wavestorm fish is fat foamie that’s 5’8” with similar volume to the hybrid.
TLDR; I’m not frothing as much on my current groveler, but want the better rails to do more critical turns. Is this something I just need more time on or am I better off on a different board?
