Whale Dave, Just saw this. Honered to see  my spot remembered. You and I and Tracy were never fans of the Kodak Reef crowd..

Gear Talk / Re: Winter wetsuit question

Old, small, and hate cold. My last winter suit was a Rip Curl
6 4 zip free  flash bomb heat seeker.

Much to my surprise the heat seeker feature was legit. Paddling released  warmth. 34 39 degrees F.

Low forties a 5 4 will be plenty of suit. Am using the same Rip Curl gloves mentioned by JB. Work a treat and you can actually feel the paddle.

Moved to Georgia after  many years in New England..

Awesome. I own an 8'4" x 30.5" x115 liters that I use all the time now that I am surfing in North Florida. Have ordered a
Mongrel 8' without the foil boxes. May get it before I turn 73! LOL!

Scotty and I have met in airports; had boards shipped from Hawaii Air Cargo. Covid has changed all that.

Tillo windsurfing now making boards at his factory in Thailand. A number of US orders were shipped from tillo in FL. It may happen again!

Check out analysis of Connor Baxter's stroke. Plant the paddle and pull forward. There are some great vids out there.

Timeout every attempt. To upload a pic from my gallery on my Android phone. My bank robber pic will remain a mystery.

Equally horrifying in Georgia. New cases through the roof. Deaths up in counties with high densities of poorer folk..
