7'6"x24'' and about 175 ltrs...no thanx!

James is a nice guy, he spent a few days here in Maui last week, mostly foiling but ripping on his SUP too. He can get a lot out of a dinky wave, reminds me of Dave Kalama in that regard.

What a great kid. I look forward to seeing him make a name for himself. Little Zane.

Post by: supsean on March 01, 2019, 07:19:13 AM: Great interview. Having come late to the sport, I always feel like people are talking about the "good old days" (like 2 years ago) and a decline. Its nice to hear a little perspective.
