Are you getting new gear for Christmas?

[supsurf-tw]

Wow!  That's one great client.  Is this someone you made a board for?

Haha no. It's a guy I'm building a custom home for in San Clemente. He DOES surf though.

6,23 kg (manufacturer info). It sooo light. I've tried it in September during Starboard's dealers meeting but the waves were crap (it was in the Mediterranean). Can't wait to try it in real waves.

It won't be here by Christmas, soon after New Years, but I put a deposit down on a 14' board named after the designers guinea pig. The Sprinkmastah!

I am thinking 26" wide.

sorry see above.  happy holidays

Glowmaster, did Patrick say what his turnaround times are? I need to call him about a Hobo Sled for Spring. Are you doing anything custom? Paint?

[Glowmaster]

I am  not quite sure, since he needs to build out the factory, but I don't think spring is out of the question.

I am thinking creamy grey bottom and hobo orange deck with a fade to grey along the rail.

Silver reflective logo on deck and grey pad.  I leave the board on the car too much, so I want a light color bottom, but need to be as visible as possible to have a chance with the idiots on the water where I paddle.

I used to tell my Aussie sailmaker that I needed to look like a poison frog not to be run over by the "mariners" in the area.

I didn't think I was getting anything--not because of bad behavior, but simply because my wife and I agreed some time ago not to exchange gifts. So of course I cheated and got her a few things, including a nice Hawaiian quilt that I gave her early since she's sick and needed something cheery and warm.

She cheated too, and got me a GoPro4 Black, plus a bunch of associated goodies like the LCD back, chest and head harness, floaty back, etc. Since I gave her the quilt early she reciprocated.

OK, you are committed; we are expecting videos of macking Kanaha or pumping Gorge.

Rip Curl GPS Watch

I really liked my Rip Curl "Trestles Oceansearch Midnight Black Tide Watch," however, it failed just past the one year warranty and Rip Curl Service Center didn't do anything to help me out. I hope they stand behind their GPS Watch product better than they did for my Tide Watch, especially if you lay out $400 for their product.

I've been on the hunt for another good Tide Watch with GPS capability as well...I noted that Garmin now has "tide data" (US Only) in their Garmin "Tactix" and "Quatix" GPS watches.  Same price territory as the Rip Curl GPS Watch:

Put the Garmin Tactix on on my list to Santa....
