Contact The Green Room surfshop in OB San Diego. Tell them you are looking for "Geppy" keel fins. They should be able to set you up with what you are looking for.

Take your kneeboard. If Howard holds course you'll be in one of the best places in CA for this swell. In case construction makes Pleasure Point unusable as a contest site, what alternative locations should we start looking into? A solid Plan B is always good to have up our sleeve. Look to the south ...

I'll third what Ler and Barry have stated. There is some thing about the 12'-18' range that lets me feel like I can do what ever I want on a wave. It's big enough to get your heart rate up but not quite big enough to make you truely pay the price for going for it.

I checked out the Gath convertable before I bought the standard model w/ visor. The ear pieces on the convertable looked pretty hokey and seemed hard to deal with. The guy at the shop said most have been sold to people that did not want their ears covered and would therefore not use the "flaps&...

Following EQ's advice I bought a Gath helmut w/ sun visor before my trip to Indo earlier this month. The visor was the ticket for those sessions when we were sitting in the line-up facing the sun. When everyone was squinting turning their heads, etc... I would pull the visor down just enough to cut ...

I had the opportunity to know Chris from back when he was one of the most committed chargers at Big Rock in La Jolla. He would go on waves that I would not even consider. Chris flat out ripped. He brought that go for it attitude to every thing he did in life. I was fortunate enough to live in the Mo...

Eric's setup is not the same as a twinzer. His fin configuration is closer to to the quad set up that I've seen on a lot of Blast boards. With the exception that the fins have been reversed, small in front, big in back. Both set ups use single foiled fins up front and double foiled fins in the back.

Watching Rex Huffman surf Big Rock and seeing those pictures of him at Pipeline are some of the reasons I became a kneeboarder. He is a legend in San Diego.

Unfortunately, due to our hastey retreat I was not able to say thanks to every one that made last weekend such a blast! Mike S. deserves a lot of waves at the next gathering for putting his reputation on the line for the bag of mixed nuts that we are. Tom B. for the insane trophies, those of you tha...
