SUP: Surfing K-61 in El Salvador
A quick clip of a morning surf at K-61 in El Salvador. It's a good spot for longboarding and catching some waves on a stand up paddle board.

      March 2024. The other popular breaks in the area aren't great for SUP. El Sunzal can work for SUP, but is much more crowded. K-61 is a bit more remote and is a flatter wave that better suits longboards & SUP. If you have some good SUP spots on your list, and they aren't secret spots, let me know. I'm hunting too.

    I think this is Bull shit. A. is 5.10 tall and long arm and long legs. B. is 5.10 tall and short limbs and long torso. They are both in the middle of size medium and size large. The RAD says A is a size medium and B is a size large. But, A is good to go size large and B is to size medium.

  • @notlemcram
    @notlemcram 22 дні тому

    Thanks, I figured out the part I was missing. All the other videos say to use 2.5 not 2.55 that I saw, but now I can just estimate the actual rad buy a calculation of the square root of reach squared plus frame stacked squared! Tells me what is in the ball park! Also for handlebar width, go to a table and shove your armpit into it and lay your arm/hand straight on the table. Mark your where your longest finger lands. The measure from the end of the table where your armpit to the mark on the table. This is the only reliable method I have found to measure your arm/hand length. I am 5 ‘ 10” with a 29” inseam and a long torso. My measurement came to 760 in my method and your method gave a min of 746.76 and a max of 782.32 so the alternate method could have some merit and is based on just arm length. I curious what arm length actually is and your preferred width to see how close the alternate method is. Thanks!

What am i supposed to ride a fixie child bike? Also how did they get so damn heavy, bloody hell, i don't need a suspension fork, i don't need disc brakes, like how do you even build an alu bike that i can't even lift, why. I can carry a 90s steel bike EASILY. No i'm not speaking electric, i don't have money for that, i can pedal.

    I want to check this trail out, but not sure if I'm ready. How does it compare to the typical blacks at Whistler? I've ridden all of them except Original Sin. I've also done lower ride don't slide, which was about on the highest end of my comfort level, but I made it. (not the pro line though)

    • @IDoBlues
      @IDoBlues 3 місяці тому

      You should have no problem on 7th. It is a pretty tight trail at times with some sharp corners but nothing consequential (except one armoured turn near the bottom that is a bit freaky). All the major features are optional. You might hit a couple spots you walk a short bit, but maybe not. Original Sin is my favorite tech trail on Whistler. Hit that!

    this definitely has its limits, at least past the RAD part. I'm 6'6 with a 6'10 wingspan and 38in inseam, this would put me on 850-900mm wide bars and 185-190mm long cranks. I do agree with the reach and stack numbers tho, I prefer a 50mm riser on a single size down from what the manufacturer recommends which lines up perfectly with the RAD numbers. Probably a great bar/crank sizing video for "normal" sized people, definitely good for frame size!
