Thanks I’ll look at constrictor knots. I have another idea that might fit that into the mix

With the price of meat and seafood what it is I need to tidy up one of my yaks and fish. So a video could be a possibility. It’ll have to coincide with one of my son’s surf days which would also mean I’d have some surf to launch through and maybe he could hold a cam

One thing I noticed when I got the Tarpon 16 (1999) was coming in to a big beach break felt like a dare to see if I could land it without swimming, which on one occasion at Muir resulted in a full endo. Prior to that I always swam through anything 5’+

Being older now I might use better judgment

I've been keeping tabs on the yearly herring arrival in CC. I try to do a drive-by daily. I've never seen so many sea lions waiting for their meals.

My son said that he heard they were just outside the harbor last week. Everyone was hoping that they would come in.

So far, they've not entered the harbor. Dunno. Maybe they heard of all the sealions. According to my records they were here Feb. 20 in 2020 and Feb. 27 in 2024.

Borzois are such goofy looking gentle dogs. I was surprised to learn that they were bred to kill wolves.

I didn't know dogs could fly. Pooch was Amazeballs. Achieving superman flight statuses.

I was hiking with a companion that day and she didn't comment much a do upon it so I slightly questioned what I had seen. We proceeded the hike in an opposite direction of course.

Up close in the lot, size stature was impressive but maybe a tenderly non aggressive looking animal. From a field viewpoint in action it was a beast.

Hobie Kayaks / Hobie Adventure Island trampoline dimensions?
« Last post by NowhereMan on Today at 08:49:35 AM »
I've decided to try to make my own trampolines for my AI. I'll use different material than what Hobie uses, but the dimensions will be the same as the standard Hobie trampolines.

One slight problem.... I can't seem to find the precise dimensions of the Hobie trampolines listed anywhere online. So, if anybody who has them could measure and post the size here, I'd appreciate it (or better yet, if you are nearby, I could stop by and take some measurements). This will be for a pre-2015 AI, in case that matters...

To follow on Tsuri's suggestion and pictures - you could use a constrictor knot around the outside of the rope to keep the shock cord from slipping. It's the knot to keep the wishbone from pulling out of a speargun band.

I'm interest a video of this in action if you ever get the chance.

Cheers,
Brad

Hey Al.  Looks like we got the same generator.  Drain the tank completely thru the carb.  Little pink hose.  even put a cup of good gas thru.  Should start right up.

Tedski where did the picture of the shock absorber come from?

They only sell ones big enough for tying tree trunks together, heh.

Was doing a light hike on the coast one time and stopped to look out over a field below. A fairly large buck deer jumped high out of thickets at high speed bounding and weaving. Large dog looking creature high bounding in hot pursuit. I was like wtf kind of dog is that big and agile?

Got back to the trailhead lot and the suspected culprit appeared - looked like one of these guys...
