tell you in four days, mi amigo

This swell has the potential even if it dies down 3' from the forecasted 18'...
to be a truly, bonified, sanctioned, epic swell. Northwest winds would mean perfect,
absolutely perfect waves south of Stuart through to Miami

Soul Man....what are the dimensions,fin placement,etc. Looks interesting-Hope you guys get some great surf!!!!

[Man O' War]

Dear soul bro, it's all here with pics, if you've got the time.

I did make one mistake: the knee wells were too short. On the first wave my kneecaps hit the front edge.
I lengthened them and now everything's kosher.

MOW my brother-thanks for the link up. I checked out the photos, the knee wells look similiar to a few boards we experimented with ,early '70's, but not as deep. The rail outline looks fast and responsive, and of course that fin will crank...How do you think it will handle that big swell headed your way? Stay wet!!!!........geno

Wild horses... couldn't drag me away... If the swell's as big and clean as they say, nothing nothing nothing, not even the cuban missile, will separate me from my spoon, geno. Nothing.

[Man O' War]

How about this one

Spoon man, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plans
Save me...

Who.

Chronologically...I'm half dead....stubborn enough to refuse to get old and in the way...and I'm still the most stoked kid in the line up, but here's a clue...Greenough is 10 years older than me.....how's the surf there today soul brother?

Wild Wild West,
You were born in the year 10 AG? I was born in 11. I'm doggin your heels.

Surf's still 36 hrs out. I imagine you'll be seeing pictures on the net by Thurs. For FL this is an event, whereas you guys go thru this every other week.

Hola hermanos....just got back from a quick session at a beachbreak down the street from my house ...2-4ft. not great,but wet....looks like a big north swell is on it's way, and hopefully a new southern hemi from N.Z. to follow. 1 more big south swell yeah!!!And while it's rumored that I eat lobsters on occasion,I have indeed been a veggie for over 30 years, and while everyone is sleeping off the tryptophan from their turkey, I'll be shredding....Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!! geno
