........so how was the surf at the left?

How's my 14 yr old paint job I did on that Whaler at your house at Oxnard shores holding up ? I hit that big bump at C -St once going 50mph in my VW bug with 4 boards on the roof! We all slammed our heads on the roof and the boards flew off the racks. We were laughing so hard we couldn't catch our b...

Bought a brand new El Paipo knee machine( fancy airbrushed) with my own money when I was 15 yrs old ....first wave lost it and COMPLETLY destroyed it on the rocks!

Cool to see someone following the number 1 rule of kneeboarding and that's
