   Sweet, plunk down that plastic!!! That board is awesome, nice signature by Hap. Am I the only one to notice the old Chevy Vega parked outside? I surf that break, too bad you got it a bit windy..

   Nice Clay! It’s kind of a pain to drive north of Oceanside to get there, but it’s fun. :D If you see the board out, introduce yourself.

   Reverb: Opaque is correct. Thanks! It’s got a few little dingers in it, but it’s very cherry and noserides like a champ. Is “bed” the term for any color area a logo ‘lays’ in?

   I think I should mention this isn’t vintage, Hap is making them (or having them made) again. The Grotto had a brand new one when I was there a few weeks ago. No a glass on fin, but great color scheme.

   What did the surf shop guys think of you shooting photos every 30 seconds? heh.

   I wanted to see the camera in the surf so we could witness your first ride, get a waterproof!

   Those guys are so nice, they’d never tell me I was being a kook. Water photos would have been cool and would have gone something like this: paddling, standing up, walking up to the nose, and stepping right over it. The last shot would have been an underwater view of the fin zipping past. :D

   Have you checked out the optio wp?

   Rob, other name is “inlays”, but its a more specific one, in my opinion…like volan cloth inlays or floral ones, etc

   Perfect summer board, I had to wipe the drool off my keyboard.

    I think you are right Patch. I had it out yesterday in good surf for the frist time. The board is such a good nose rider, that I can slide up front witout really worring about setting it up with a good bottom turn. The only thing though, is you have to save some energy for the walk home. It’s gotta weight 40 pounds.

    Nice board, I’m stoked for you, but I can’t believe I sat through that whole slide show and didn’t get to see it perform.
