dude - rent your board. unless your going to stay for awhile. that way you can
leave your 5.09 rigged at the beach and get a slalom board or wave or whatever.
Being able to switch boards is easier than pakin' your own around - which may
never be right for the conditions.GMYoung@aol.com-DeleteThis wrote:
