No.

That's stupid and ridiculous.  If she can afford a board, paddle, and pfd she can afford swimming lessons.

Motorcycle.  Femur through the pelvis.  Compound fracture of tibia and fibula.  Dug into the dirt.  2 1/2 hours to the hospital.  2 1/2 months in the hospital.  A year before I didn't limp.  I learned to hate a bedpan.

I hear ya.

 What about leashes with a waist harness rather than a leg cuff? I've had knee cuffs pull down my leg and go loose and the whip you get on an ankle cuff sucks..

 I'm pretty sure Brasho uses one, anyone else using them in surf?

Tried Corran's.  It broke.  But had mileage on it...  Good for whitewater, not in surf.  I see the app. in there with good stuff.

Yup, bearings and rubber.  As long as the rest is solid...  I know my suspension is way hard, I'm hoping to add a camping box and mellow the ride.  Truck is up to it.

Maaaaan.  I know what it's like that close to shore and being in the wringer and helpless.  Glad you're ok.

Refabbing a good gal. single axle.  Lotsa experience with canoes and kayaks.  Little with SUPs.  I know it isn't rocket science but some details in the riggings and frame would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

Been there.  Better in the water than in bed.  More out than in helps.

Twist right above the bars.  Twist on top.  Or just bugger off the flat rope and listen to PB.  But tighten them down...some.
