MidAtlantic finally went off Friday, first decent swell we've seen in months. A good time was had by all from SC to NY.

K-Man. That was me. I did not even know you were a kneelo until you said something. I had been working in LA all weekend and just as I drove up the wind switched onshore. I was just grumpy and focused on getting anything I could. I did notice that your flashpoint went pretty well in the marginal surf. By the way, that was SFKneelo's old board.

Thats' what I remember about Ocean Beach.no one would talk to you when you first paddled out. I starting catching all the big set waves, coming from way deep. Then they all wanted to be my friend .

I was wondering if it was that board... but 'orange and white' stripes?

NEVER will I infringe upon that which is Bob Gove :wink: :lol:

RED and white... with differing widths of the stripes. It has a lot of float, which worked well for me in medium size stuff, but is more a small wave board for a guy the size of Bob.

He ended up changing the fin configuration on it... tri-fin, Bob? I can't remember.

I thought I had pics around... guess not.

The Red vs. Orange thing reminds me of when my Mom went out and bought the family a red Morey Doyle. It faded to pink in no time. NOT good!

Yes, red stripes. That board is for sale. $100!!! Still in as good a shape as the day you sold it to me.

Should be ridden as a Parkes style four fin.

I still have all the original FCS fins for it.

$100 is a really good deal!

Uh oh... despite the flogging I'll get from my Minister of Finance, I'm interested!

But, didn't you change more than the fins? I thought you changed the whole configuration... box placement... maybe even a tri? Changed it, then changed it back?
