Wow. Delete this for low effort, irrelevant to charlotte, but wow. The clouds didn’t mess it up at all for me here

I don't board often, it's been 8 years since my last trip, so I'm definitely a novice.

I came to realize the boards i was getting at the surf shop were too small for me and making it hard to catch any waves.

I'm 6' and between 180 and 190, and I'm always on the east coast, myrtle beach area. so the waves are fairly small.

I think i need a 42.5" board, i've found a few options that seem to have features i'm reading are important, others that don't

I'm wondering if it matters what I buy if I'm not spending much, I see a 44" dick's board for $35, a body glove method for $75, a rokia r 42 for $70, doesn't appear to have rails

Wondering if there are any other suggestions or if it basically doesn't matter outside of the 42.5" if i'm not dropping $150 - $200+

i'm trying to keep an eye on things like the core, the bottom surface, the rails, etc it's a bit confusing but like i said, I got the impression anytuing i don't spend double this on is going to be labeled as crap anyway

The other 3 are the Cowboys, Colts, and Dolphins, who all have existed for more than double the length of time the Panthers have. The Steelers could be argued as a 5th with an asterisk since Antonio Brown won the Sporting News OPOY.

Special shoutout to the Dolphins who are 9/9 thanks to 1987 OROY Troy Stradford, who I found out existed while searching to see if any teams other than Carolina and Dallas hit all 9.

One of Concord locals' favorite dive bars just announced they're going under, last day is effectively August 31 and unless someone buys it out and takes it over, it will close and turn in to some kind of store or restaurant. The Mullet thrift and sip is going out along with it. It was announced Friday the 24th, and it's all people there are talking about now. 😭😭(╥﹏╥)

This is pretty tragic, because anyone who is familiar knows Rob's is semi famous, and IMO, the best, and maybe only dive bar between Concord and Thirsty Beaver.

They've cultivated a wonderful niche crowd of regulars of all ages who know and love each other, always get along, and you know exactly what kind of crowd you're going to run in to. That's kind of both a pro and the problem because there's a whole lot of people who don't go there to that scene, which is absence of business.

Rob's is the back bone of the community of cool locals and vibes there, without it, I'm not sure all the people who hang around down town will hang around as much any more without an anchor point to orbit and congregate around.

What a major bummer, it's a huge part of so many people's lives over the last 15 years, and the hopes of it being replaced with something that is just as cool and has just as many good vibes is very low. The staff and the patrons are one big family who have each other's backs.

Anyone looking to get into the cool legendary dive bar business in the vibrant downtown Concord? lol

update: Rob says for any interested parties to reach out via email at lilrobertsplace@gmail.com

They already have 2 long time managers that can handle most all of the daily operations and are willing to stay on board

I didn't really see anything addressing this. We've got tickets to the IMAX showing of the Odyssey on Friday at 4pm. Coming from Concord, I'm not super worried about it, hitting the interstate at exit 55, but my mom is going and she is insisting on leaving at 2:30 because it's going to take us an hour to park

I think that's nuts, we're going to be parked and have like an hour to kill

I can't imagine it taking more than 45 minutes, and that sounds like a bit extra, on a friday early afternoon. this show had a bunch of tickets available, i assume because everyone i asked to go couldn't because "4pm friday? im working"

anyone been there at this time of day? is leaving at 2:30 for a 25 minute trip for a 4pm show crazy?

Update: OK I think we are going to split the difference and leave at three, that should give us a 20 minute cushion and seems pretty reasonable
