I was hoping you'd see this Chet! Have you ever surfed the wedge? Nope. I'd give my left one to play in those huge drop-and-drown waves. The best we get is hurricane swell at 1 x OH rolling into a nearby jetty. I have a quiver of 60's belly boards from Newport and Solona beach. Those boards need to...

Re: Sad, Unexpected News and Leaving Board

Elisa, I liked your mom. She got a kick out of the "tourists" who put up the huricane screen, and helped your dad take his down. How is your dad doing?

Re: Good cigars on St John?

Buy a box before heading off on vacation. My favorires...Arturo Fuente Double Chateau Maduro. Excellent store in Rehoboth Beach, DE - and you can purchase online from a huge selection. http://www.bighumidor.com/index.cfm?ref=10100 http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2176/2233667056_7cce634663_z.jpg?zz=1

Re: Live from the rock May 23
