What's the problem with spamming Craigslist? Isn't that what CL is for?

Linter I am afraid he may be...looked on his face book page and his profile picture has him on a wave ski...I do not see that as a problem, but a plus...the deeper his skill set in wave craft the deeper his understanding of what works and why...don't think one dimensional...

  oh, i have nothing against waveskis, since that's what i rode before SUPs (and I still have my Infinity waveski in the garage).  i've had dealings with olson before and it's olson (who will be the first to tell you he's the best shaper in the world) that i have a problem with.  i wish tower the best of luck with him, but if their association doesn't last long or ends in acrimony or maybe even a stress-induced heart attack on tower's part, don't be surprised.

Tower stopped spamming my local craigslist and I appreciate it.  The problem was that if you as an owner posted an ad, it would drop of the page due to the 5+ posts per day by Tower.  Now that they have stopped, my ad is still up on the first page from 4 weeks ago.

the board he is talking about looks like a nice board.

Yeah a Naish Glide.  :D

Linter...got you...I thought I remembered him having a rather strong personality presence on one of the wave ski forums, but that was many years ago...was hoping he mellowed with age...at the time he could not have been mistaken for a self confidence problem... ::)

He knows how to rip on the wave ski.

I thought Jerry Grantham was the best in the world, he even told me he was.
He's now on the big island, educating them.
Actually he is a pretty good shaper, you would be too if you've shaped 100,000 boards.   ;)

If he sees this, I could be in trouble,,,,,,,,,,,, hea Jerry, long time, no sea!
What, I can't stay at your house when I come over?
It takes a quiver to do that.

  no doubt byron is a great waveskier, and i'll leave it at that.

Steve Boehne of Infinity is and has been a legendary surfboard / SUP shaper, and he shapes wave skis.

Now that being said, those butt boarders are the biggest group of wave hogs I've ever met.
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Yeah, they sit so far outside, go for everything and with that paddle they can make waves that aren't even waves yet.

yes we should ban paddler with double blade. think about it, SUPer have one blade its consider dangerous, when you have two blade, it 2X more dangerous. ;D

We should just ban everyone but me and people that I personally approve of. No other way to ensure its safe out there.

It was repeat confrontations between some aggressive butt boarders and long boarders that originally got the SanO paddle ban put in place.  I really don't hold any grudge against them, as a lot of them are good friends.
I just met a young wounded vet who was taking his 3 year old son  to the beach for the first time by himself in a wheel chair. I helped him through the sand, and said he wanted to some how try surfing again. I told him a wave ski would be perfect for him, and told him the guys at Infinity would hook him up. I hope to see him out there snaking me on every wave.
