Re: Custom hand made board cover for freakishly small board
Ca. Summer of 1967, country of Carolina, Puerto Rico, with my first board on top. Ready for the drive to La Pared, Luquillo, PR, for a surf session. I was a learning surfer. That is a 9'4" Hobie Noserider strapped on top, my first board. Two years later I owned a VW Bug but had a choice or runn...

Okay, boys... treat each other with some respect here. I know this is mostly in jest and none should take anything personal. For the most part this topic is off-topic.

Re: Time Sensitive - Beach Access in the Outer Banks
I may have to email Beth because our Verizon cell phone service has been very spotty for phone calls and I have no idea what rate plan it would be down here in PR since Verizon sold their network to Claro. I was never able to get a straight answer from Verizon Wireless back in the States. Some peopl...

Re: Austin mini paipo (44") impressions
Actually it was a draw between the gold and the yellow. They couldn't tell the difference of the two out in the water and we both scored the highest groupings of scores. Neal thinks he won the event

Re: Swim fins/flippers
I am using Vipers V5 Orange and Yellow Dots, in cool water and warmer water, respectively. The Orange Dot is the flexi blade and the Yellow Dot the stiffer blade. Used Orange Dots for a number of years but noticed that they started to flex too much in warm waters (let's just say tropical waters, 73F...

Re: Austin mini paipo (44") impressions
Rod, Where on the sternum are measuring from? The sternum is actually three bones and is about 8 inches long. Do you mean at the bottom of the sternum? (at the xiphoid process.) More or less ;) Guess pictures sometimes are the best ways of explaining somethings. Basically, when I said, "board ...

Re: Austin mini paipo (44") impressions
Yes, I often score some great surf in Puerto Rico. But, it is not the most consistent surf destination as it is subject to the North Atlantic storm systems that are not as consistent in generating surf as the North Pacific and South Pacific oceans... expect the next 6 days to be rather flat :( Maybe...

Re: Austin mini paipo (44") impressions
SJB, if you are light and the board length scales to your sternum (that line between your belly and your chest) then it would no doubt work well for you - I recommend scaling the board length to your sternum and the thickness to the type of wave conditions you will ride the board in -- thin for trop...
