I still have my Big Red! Warren, do you remember when I got the Extremist in the pictures above? Starboard had just come out with the Extremist line, the shortest production boards available at that time, they made a 9'0 x 30 and a 9'8 x 30. You recommended the 9'8; I remember you saying about the 9'0 "Might as well just go surfin if you go that short". My, how times have changed.
