if you really want to flya, ride an alaia...you can even do a little slide-a.

Okay, that's pretty good.

I actually do want to ride an alaia. I grew up riding a piece of plywood that was essentially a poipo, but I didn't know it at the time. I just know I could body board on it and it was a lot of fun.

Thats how I started in the 80s. Somehow got the idea to screw old plastic gutters in to use as fins.

the coke was good in the 80s.

How about you're gonna look kinda gaya.

A finless board wouldn't interrupt the flowing lines of my Honda element though.

I wouldn't know about that...I drive a tacoma.

That's manly...
I drive a mini-vanly...
So stealthy.

My Piney by Dave Russell athttp://www.dandjwoodenboards.com

what is that and what does it do? i am flabergastered...
is it even legal?

J-Bette....that board is hideously sick.
Effin' sweet to the 10th degree.

betty's ride gives me wood.

That board hates me.

My current quiver:
5'4 x 20.5 x 2.5 Stewart Fartknocker quad for mush bustin

5'10 x 19.5 x 2.375 JS Nitro thruster knee high to a foot over head
Or on fatter high tides

6'0 x 18.75 x 2.375 Firewire Alternator thruster for whenever it's
Waist to two feet overhead and solid.

6'2 x 18.5 x 2.2 JC Hawaii NX1 tuff lite for rocky spots and overhead waves
That require a little more volume to get in.

Still need a good 6'6 rounded pin for next winter.

quag,

height? weight? just curious as i'm 185 and 6'2" and am wondering if i could go down from my 6' fish to a 5'8" quad fish.

thx.

I'm 6'2"...
but 215...
My shortboard...
Is long...
At 6'8"...
I could go shorter...
But I already have a job.

I'm around 6"1 6"2 and between 175 and 180 I think you could go down to a 5"8 fish as long as it's bulky,
a 5'10 might be a safer bet, it"l hold a little better and be a little less skatey.
