What fun we all had!

It was a good time in so many ways. Good to see the ladies and groms going strong and in increasing numbers. Shaun thanks (autually Martin authorized the loan, sorry Joe) for the use of your Really Fast Blast. I had one turn that felt great on it. Zeke and your Dad saw that one as did some standie u...

OSide locals unite

Ed,

You just may have motivated a few of us local O-Side crew to
put our game faces on.
Naturally we're not nearly as handsome or humble as you though. :lol:

See you there,

Critters

That first creature looks harmless but the second one with the huge dripping fangs and the curved steel claw looks very intimidating and those beady eyes. And the next photo with the pack of carnivours gathering around the carcass to establish the pecking order, terrifying. Wow was I wrong wrong, I ...

So it's a long paddle. I'll be back someday and we'll get some greenrooms. Are you going to South Africa ? Funny you got a pic of that board with those fins in it, I forgot using them in that board. I mostly used them in my Subb Vector (that's what they're called now).
See you someday.

As one who owns a stubb vector for well over 2 years, I agree with Bud. My fins are also pushed up a bit more than other boards. It catches waves easily, planes quickly, and is loose especially if you move forward a bit. I'm having more fun in waves I used to pass on than I thought possible.

If you mean the center areas were cut out that was me. I used Bud's bigger rear fins and yes they were looser but lost a lot of drive.This is a carry over from something I sued to do on my glassed on fins. With bigger fins it worked well and when you rode high in the wave it "seemed" to di...
