          I play saxophone since I am 12 years old and now I am 28. I studied for 5 years in a Conservatory of Music and played with some bands with my friends :)

    • SUP ( Stand ip )
    • Rugby
    1. 1

      WOW!!! I practice SUP. I have Super Sup by RRD (link) but in this period I can't practice WAVE but I can go for a small excursion because my SUP it's not perfect for ALLROUND

      I hope to come in Spain soon, I love it!
      Finland it's perfect for woods and camping 😍

    • πŸ“I try to play table tennis at least once a week, I'm gonna join a league this year :D
    • 🎸I play the guitar (mostly acoustic) to relax, and I'm learning 🎹
    • β™ŸI play 2-3 bullet chess games (1 minute) every day
    1. 1

      I love table tennis!
      Can you suggest an online tutorial?
      I would like to improve it

      1. 1

        First thing I would recommend is search for a table tennis club near you and join the amateur training sessions. At those clubs you usually find friendly people with similar skill levels and same passion for table tennis.

        As for online tutorials, there are several good YouTube channels, I would recommend those for beginners:

      wow!! 40 books in the last seven months is big result. Congrats!

    1. 1

    • music production (Synthwave)
    • reading
    • Legos (our four young children have a pretty good collection)
    1. 1

      Legos it's perfect for creativity!

    • Running/Working out
    • Trying to learn piano
    • Vinyl collecting
    1. 1

      I have always wanted to start listen vinyl 😍 Do you think that sound system should have specific features?

      I play saxophone. I think that we could make an indie hackers band πŸ˜‚

      1. 2

        We can call it the indie jammers πŸ˜‚

        I’m not a sound snob, so no. I think it’s fine to go with the cheapest sound equipment you can afford (barring it isn’t so cheap that it damages the vinyls), and upgrade piece by piece as you go.
