Yep, and after letting some nuggs go by (trying not to be a wave hog), by the time you reach the pack on the set wave, the others are just getting off thier mark windmilling on the inside and you are flying in comparison as you pop up and signal, "this one is mine!" Then you ride to the sand as...
I get comments on mine all the time, usually something along the lines of "good lord, how long is that?" I just say 12 and smile and catch the next wave to the beach.
My 12 has no side bite slots, single fin only. I have settled on this 10 inch pivot, it locks in and rides for days. Turns are...
It tried hard to kill me december about a year ago, spent from dec 2nd the the 23rd holed up in my bedroom which was set up like a hospital room. Worst month of my life as pneumonia crept in as well, couldn't get back into the water til april.....paddled out and was still spitting up green...
I'll post mine story.
I was trying to get back to Cali to sleep in my own bed but ran out of daylight and energy and decided to stop at stateline to pass out and finish the ride the next morning. Decided to have a couple before I hit hay and so I was sitting in the bar and some lady and her...
This one has some kind of a carbon fibre wrap. I bought an 11" TLPC about a month ago and gave it a spin last week. Much lighter than the the regular Tuflite Munoz, by 5 pounds or so I'd say just by picking them up. I also found it had a different balance point than my other 11 footah.
I get the technology in the water thing and agree in general. However, from a Dad prospective, if I am not in the water and when my teenage daughter is in the water and it gets dark because she doesn't want to come out, I like knowing I can send a text and her watch lights up so I can find her...
My teenage daughter uses hers regularly. When paired with her phone I can send texts to her while she is in the lineup (her phone is on the beach).
She uses it to track wave counts and stats. After a particularly good session at Doheney she announced that she had ridden over a mile, the...
Not any real help but.....The Prince Kuhio will might be tough to find, they don't show up in the wild very often. Munoz boards seem to pop up sub $1k once or twice a month. If priced around $600-700 they sell right away and end up repriced at $12-1300 a week later. You must be quick to get...
I just had a closet clear out and have 10 or 12 kid to teen to xl men sized wetsuits (mostly spring suits) that I no longer need, all in very good shape. I will be at Doheny on Saturday this week and can bring them with me. Send me a PM.
In Waikiki I like Koa Boardsports or Moku. Koa has a self service rack, you will get a key for a week rental and can come and go as you please. Moku has no self service racks but are there early (for dawn patrol) and stay open after dark for after sunset session drop off. Generally good...
Might have been me if it was at Doho, except the good surfer thing has me confused as that is certainly not me, adequate is more descriptive. I just put it on a couple big boards. After 4 sessions, I am pretty happy with it. I took my boards to the guy in Costa Mesa who makes it (a retired...
Ocean Earth Aircon. Not cheap but seriously well built and fits my 11 foot Munoz Ultra Glide like a glove.

This thread got me to pull out my Munoz quiver and snap a few pics of these beauties tonight! Love me some Munoz Glide, 2 12's and 2 11's pictured. old school original surftech softop, 12' and an 11' tuflite, and a woodgrain. I think I am only missing a 10'6" and a TLPC......Glide on!
