u/misterfoils

I currently just dockstart and pump foil but want to start prone foiling. I’ve started in the sea a few times with a ladder contraption but want to try starting by catching a wave. I found this board - what do you think?

Its a v1 Appletree, 5ft, ~30-40L

I’m 82kg and have surf experience.

After reading through the comments on my first post I decided to try the cans of sardines that I had left in some new ways. The first thing I wanted to try was warming them up (4 minutes in a bowl with boiling water).

I tried and the Nuri sardine stew yesterday in a rice dish and today I tried the ones in lemon with fried fennel and kale. Both were honestly great and so easy to prepare. The smell was still quite fishy but after taking a bite or two that dissipates. You're left with very soft and savory fish (that took 4 minutes to prepare without using any cooking equipment). HMM!

I was also pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of roe sacks in both cans! HMM!

Thank you all for the useful pointers! Looking forward to trying out the top recommendation: pricey smoked tinned trout! HMM!

I love fish and I've always enjoyed a can of tuna on days where I don't have time to go to the grocery store. After coming across TinnedFishReviews I thought I would give sardines a try: more environmentally friendly than tuna, less heavy metals and seemingly delicious.

I tried a can of Fish Tales in tomato sauce and wasn't impressed so I ordered 5 different cans from Nuri. I had the one in olive oil yesterday and the one in spicy olive oil today with a variety of toppings. The picture is the variant that I enjoyed the most: french bread with rocket and artichoke salad with a spicy sardine on top.

But still... I think I would've preferred a cheaper can of tuna as I found it quite fishy. At least I got over my fear of eating roe, spines and scales... Any other fish you guys would recommend to try that may have a milder flavor?

I upgraded from a V1 Carbon Armstrong set with a HS1850 and a HS232 stab
Now on a A+ with performance mast with a APF1880 and a Pump 202 stab

Way more lift, but if you shift your weight too far one way it's hard to correct

They finally came in! UK 9s, STC last, no toe cap, thermoplastic puff, tyre wedge sole, no speed hooks, no shank, double lasted, leather midsole, and everything brown except for the sole. They’ll take some breaking in and they’re real heavy (heavier than my AR8s) but loving the look.
