New Kind of Kick

I've got a tar balloon and a fresh pair of ocean slippers!

Actualy, this simple yet high performance combo is a blast.. Due to the shift of air pressure created by your body and the wave, this craft has true variable rocker, and seems to adapt well to whatever the conditions may be.

It has been a really nice alternative to riding backside on the 6'8 musko

The new Voit Duck Feet are going to take some grinding of the spines to soften them up. Taking them to Jeff's for some work later this week.

Thanks to Greenough (and prana) for the inspiration/introduction to a new ride.

I am dying to try a surf mat. I need to buy a used one or something. Can't afford a new one.

I can pay a little more than that, but thanks for the information, Anon. I just can't afford the full-on mats. Hmmm, it wouldn't be bad to try one of those you suggested just as a starting point. Thanks, Anon!
