There hasnt been a thread about Surfing here, so I'd thought I'd throw one up and see who salutes....
As far as I know, only Adrian (Udet) and myself are either Surfers or former Surfers with bad knees..... The pics below are of my board, a WRV (Wave Riding Vehicles) 6'10" Thruster shaped by Manville and purchased at the 17th Street Surf Shop in Virginia Beach, Virginia way back in 1993...
Stand up and be counted as a TRUE Waterman.... Pics of ur boards are HIGHLY encouraged....

| FWIW, Dan, The 17th Street Surf Shop is still there !!
I have lived eight miles from the Atlantic for 40 years, and have never so
much as put my big toe in the water. Our beach is too full of riff-raff,
boom-box noise, hookers and punks.

Country: | I surfed for a short time in 1979 - had a Morey Doyle (Don't laugh) and a tri-scag Zephyr, 7' (If I remember). - both were borrowed for the summer. Basically I sucked, but it was a lot of fun - surfed around LA - Hermosa, Redondo, Manhattan

Country: | Custom made job from PSE... Its a Dakota model, but since I use fingers instead of a release, hence the special order...
On top of that, I only use 2 fingers instead of 3...

Country: | Cool, I'm not up to date on the Compound stuff anymore. Shoot mainly a custom Longbow and Recurve. I'll stop hijacking your surfing thread now.
Never tried surfing, not fond of drowning as I cannot swim very well and was never comfortable in the water. Tried Sailboarding once, but could not remain verticle very long.
