Eh, Haoleboy, not sure if you got my message because I'm new to posting not just on this board but any board.

Generally surf traditional rather than modern although I do get carried away at times. I look for a board that allows the best glide and turn ratio. Bics especially the 10' Bob Pearson model seems to have that.

But I'm open to other types of boards just for the exerience. my Dooley's have a place of pride in my quiver because Mick doesn't shape anymore so I feel quite priviledged to have 2 of his boards. They get better care than most things in the house.

When I work out hoe top send pics I'll include some.
