Nice Rack

Posted by Wave Farmer at 10:02 AM

S WIND 10 TO 15 KT...RISING TO 20 TO 25 KT BY MIDDAY. WIND WAVES 3 FT...BUILDING TO 5 FT. W SWELL 7 FT AT 14 SECONDS.

Seems like this design could be improved upon with 21st century technology to facilitate long-distance surf-cycle trekking.

Probably a solid hour and half to the cliffs. Loved it. A stiff wind would try to take you across two lanes of traffic.; 2:22 PM

Truth in advertising and all that.

I was born the month that issue came out, right there in HB. Bing's son Scott Copeland was my best friend when we were kids, we were born a month apart. I thought that was him in the ad until I saw the date.; 11:20 PM

He blogged the whole deal; or maybe she did. Shit I can't remember now but if I find the link I'll get it to you.
