Sub 4 foot board

Hey, da.bell,

Where is Rollins? I have heard about the reunion, the only issue we have is that James may have to have hernia surgery and h timing of that may make it hard to attend.

[da.bell]

It is near Colfax, CA... About 45-60 minutes East of Sacramento on Highway 80.. It would be great to see you both there.

Sorry to hear about Jame's surgery. Hope that it isn't too serious....

[Surfdad]

Thanks for your concern...No, it's a fairly small hernia, like around 1 cm or so, we figure he did it last summer before the World's...so it's not a recent injury! TEENAGERS!

We go by Colfax just about every weekend on our way up to Sugar Bowl. Which exit off of 80?

[da.bell]

I think it is Central Ave but here is a map.....

Ready for fin boxes - without fin boxes or traction it's 29.1 oz!

29.1 oz are you kidding us that is unexeptable..... I will not ride anything more then 29.0 oz.

Wow just kidding that is great, I like the look. Keep us posted.

Tell James, "chicks dig hernia scars".
That's how I got my wife... "want to see my scar?"

[Surfdad]

SamW!!!!!!! I'm sorry I failed you! Final board weight with fin boxes and "rattle can" graphics is a WHOPPING 31.8 oz.

Finally got a chance to ride the 3'11" board. Great fun, rides just like the 4'5" I copied it from, but shorter. It allowed me to carve a bit harder without catching the flats...great experiment to see that a board under 4' can be ridden hard and just as easily as a 4'5" board.

[samw]

That is sweet. Looks fun wish I was out.

Thanks for sharing.

I wish i cold just take the boat out in shorts in april...It has yet to break 60 up here ...water is probably in the 50's tops!!!!burrrrr

[Surfdad]

You bet Samw - I love to inspire with my...ummm, messes. no wait they are BOARDS.

Sacnvr, may I be honest here? That was the SECOND dumbest thing I ever did! Trunking it yesterday...the water temp was 62 and the air temp fluctuated between 68 and 74 depending upon if the sun was out or the winds up. I came in after a particularly sloppy ride where I fell a bunch and I was SHAKING from the cold! I need to eat more cookies and drink more beer to build up a protective layer! Who's behind me on that?!

[Surfdad]

Judy finally went out yestrday. I had to share this picture of her. Look where she is riding she's out in the flats! She was able to cruise out there as long as she wanted.

Hey, I noticed in the last few pics you posted that your V-Drive hatch is partially opened. What's going on there?

[Surfdad]

Hey Dog,

I'm putting a fat buddy, filled about 1/2 way, on top the the custom sac. We've been working with a slightly taller, more vertical wake face. The addition of that...I guess it's 125 pounds achieves it, but it causes the hatch to pop open...I've been using a bungee cord to connect the hatch to the opposite side hatch.
