hi rick,
what kind of board is that alpha? i've got a big monster 10'6" o'brien
excellerator longboard, and i was looking to start learning on something
a bit smaller. how stable is it for waterstarts (i'm still working on mine;
the chop gets me every time). also, for what conditions is that 4.6/mast
combo appropriate? i'm 170# and usually sail near the shore (in the cove,
not much out into the channel) at 3rd and coyote.
thanks,
sasha mitelman
