Scored glassy chest high waves on the 4th of July, still breaking but the winds on it.

My shoe size is 10.5 and my Da Fins are 11-12 large. Yes they do run smaller than their stated size.

My boards are 23" + and I try to position my thighs against my forearms when I pop up.

I hate to see a fellow lifeguard become a victim :( ! I pray he makes a full recovery. That wave is one mean mofo!! 2 weeks ago my partner and I responded to a spinal injury on the beach-45 year old man pile drove himself into the shorebreak on a bodyboard. When we got to him, he had blood coming ou...

We've got a storm out there-sub tropical, extra tropical, warm core, cold core (The weather guys can't quite name it). Any way you call it, its a gale and it's pumping some nice juice into the Eastern Seaboard. I got some solid long period groundswell today! What's really cool for us is that it's re...

Those involved in saving his life are heroes!! I pray the surfer didn't suffer any spinal trama and he comes out of it okay. Getting an unconcious victim to shore (Through surf, drop off and shorebreak) is an exceedingly difficult task!! Boards and leashes in these rescues can actually make this eve...

VIERA — Even baseball players need a release, and for Washington Nationals catcher Devin Ivany and pitcher Collin Balester, it's surfing. Ivany, 27, a native of Delray Beach, grew up surfing along Florida's East Coast, including both sides of Sebastian Inlet. Balester, 23, a native of Huntington Bea...

Got to surf my new epoxy quad today in HH beachbreak. The board has just the right amount of float, and the epoxy felt "Lively". It's good to have a quad back in the quiver again!!

Thanks guys both for the pm's and posts.
Red, your knowledge of boards and shapes is especially appreciated. I have a much better idea of what will work for me with an epoxy now.

I'm getting a local shaper make me an epoxy kneeboard. Steve Forstall (Neighbor) has been shaping for 25 years and makes Coda boards. He's an accomplished shaper who does his own glassing and I trust him 100% to make an amazing board. Here's where you guys come in. I'm going with a 6'0-6"2"...
