were you thinkin decent waves when i said "small wave board"? funny thing is though, the majority of the people out ther (not in this pic they were over to the right) are out there on thrusters, and have ultra short rides. most of the waves were bigger that day, as i said i was paddling out

no, I was thinkin texas but also thinking something you wanted to rip on, not just the purpose of having fun without a longboard.
