your best bet is aliso. the wedge is awesome to go to also, even if you're just watching.

Thanks man, I'm already back home now and I just skimmed the wedge at night. But yeah, way to be a "Friendly" community when you're too big of a prick to help a fellow skimmer out.

Still, there has got to be a beach I can get some siders on

i am going to LA tomorrow before my surgery and i leave at 8am so I need help like ASAP on beach selection. What beach has the biggest waves and a sweet slope?
or just any great beaches around LA...

I agree with Jim, but it's easier said than done. Changing your entire drop when all you have ever used is one kind.

also, look for somebody trying to surf with it, chance is they might not know it's not a surfboard. People are stupid.

I'd stick with eelsnot.

Not Even, that think is done. And if you did fix it a few rides and it would be exactly how it was before. just hang it up and look at it with nostalgia.

smart idea to take more precautions to make sure you don't lose it, but a leash would have to be from the camera to the board and not get in the way.

Just thought id point out I'm not talking about cosmetic scratches I'm Talking about deeps scratches/gashes

yeah i do what you do jim, i just get super paranoid about it. but i think i wont stress over it once i find a new beach with better waves.

frack, really? i thought i just had a really shitty beach.

i'm afraid to use my new exile, because after 2 sesh's i scratched the bottom of my board way more then i would like for it to be after only two use's. i now spend most of my time checking for rocks...

i always wondered about that when watching videos on the wedge, a big wave crashes on top of you and you spend 30 minutes freaking out trying to find your board and never find it again.

i asked this question back awhile ago and nobody answered me, hope you have better luck.

i'll have you know i stubbed my toe and only cried for 20 minutes.

thanks everyone, planning a beach tip tomorrow with 2 pages on notes on how to drop. haha thanks!

ill likely try to practice on wet grass. thanks guys!

well i can normally get on the board in 3-4 steps but i cant run that fast because im afraid to fall going fast but i need to get over it.

i just got my new exile recruit today and i got to ride it for about an hour or two before my tooth-ache hurt way to much to even run.
absolutely blown away by the board quality and ride, but i cant...

looks pretty sweet, how was the temp?

sweet, thanks man. i got worried no one would help me out.

has any one tried it? it looks fine to me but i just want to be sure before i put it on my new exile.

pro models are really about what you prefer, no one can choose for you really.
