Surfing Tacoma Quivers

sweet board.

do you live in forester ranch? looks like my neighborhood. haha

 

I do not haha, just a standard SoCal neighborhood

 

True. Standard look all over this place.

 

i’ll attest to that. Years ago i went out on an 8’ day that turned into a 12’ day real fast. I paddled out at Sloat ave and it took me 45 mins to get outside. I was in peak shape and worked as hard as i could....almost threw in the towel trying to get out that day, but it was worth it. That double sandbar at ob is a bitch

 

One of the funnest “small days” at Sloat @ OB ever....
The whole beach was like this. Peaks everywhere.

 

I was out on this 6’2” channel islands MSFG2 model, flexy fin. One of the best boards i have ever owned.

 

Anyone tanker surf in Galveston? Always wanted to try

 

Haven’t done it yet, but it’s on my list also!

 

Forgot to take regular photo

But the Ripcurl E-Bomb 4/3 is the best suit I have ever worn. Found it brand new for $100 on Craigslist! Highly highly recommend and I’ve tried everything.

 

Come up!! I bought a vissla seven seas this year. Minus having broad shoulders and having a heard time getting out the suit is awesome.

 

Same- I had trial and error in buying suits for about 5 seasons- for the last 20 years I have only worn Rip Curl flashbomb 4/3 chest zip. Durable, super stretchy, warm and great warranty. there’s alot of overpriced hipster suits made out of japanese neoprene....don’t waste your money.

 

I have the broad shoulders fit issue too! rip curls fit- give em a try

 

Best place before covid for suits was Amazon. I've scored so many ebombs, flashbombs, xcel chest zips, three to for hundred dollars suits for $80 to $150.

 

true! Last two i bought off Amazon. I typically buy the last years model and get a screamin deal on it. Been doing it that way for years- thats the way i can afford to get the top of the line model for less than the baragin suit price. Usually the local surf shops blow them out for 40-60% off

 

Never thought of checking Amazon, I'll keep an eye out next time I need one.

 

Welp, surf shop was out stock of my suits. So I Just picked up a Vissla 7 Seas 4/3 hoody. It’s a very nice cut for my body, the legs, torso, arms, and especially the hood all fit tight like they were made custom for me. I really like the way the hood fits my chin. I come from a Looooooooong line of excel and O’Neill suits, and this is a noticeable change in fit for me.

I always buy MT, and this one just fits different. I’m impressed overall. Might just have switched me for good.

 

Good fit makes all the difference!

 

That's what I've got minus the hood but the leg area is a tad tight other than that the thing is incredibly comfy. The wool on the chest to is so nice.

 

A little fickle nook has been good lately with the king tides and bigger swell...

 

Here she is 6'7 tlsd local guy. Looks killer can't wait to break her in tomorrow when I'm off work.
