REALLY

ARE YOU KIDDING, FEBRUARY 24 AND IT'S 57 DEGREES.  GLOBAL WARMING YES PLEASE.  MY LAWN MOWER, WEED EATER AND CHAIN SAW ARE RUNNING RIGHT NOW.  there was a shoulder-chest SW swell today but by lunch time it was sweeping down the beach.  It's suppose to go W tonight and knock a lot of it down but there is always hope for some scraps.  I got out yesterday and was all by myself for 45 mins on a nice spot then one other guy came out and we swapped waves for an hour or so.  Nobody else in sight, after 2hrs I called it a day.  Finally got some good waves (waist or better) on the mini.

whaling

checking out Marine Layers Productions http://www.marinelayerproductions.com/ (Dane Reynolds).  "Whaling" is the latest vid and its cool watching people that rip ride different shapes especially ones they shaped themselves. You can check out the pics and video and CI forum comments at http://cisurfboards.com/blog/2011/dane-reynolds-sperm-whale/ .
 
 I gotta answer the first question:  How do i get one?  i didn't think the admin guy would let on their board.

this looks a little different than the image on the blog
maybe proto type beta

screen captures w/ the d5000

dane's signature cut back
buy some tools (via harbour freight or the like) get a blank.  BUILD IT YOURSELF that's over half the fun and it costs a lot less.  at least until it becomes a true production board.

ps  there are about 4 different vids with a version of the whale in it.  the one on CI site looks like board one.
there are 2 others on Dane's with what looks to be the earlier version.  "Whaling" seems to feature a newer version.  maybe?  what the hell do i know.  Keep rocking DR.
