Bonus Coverage from Surf Expo!

Great extra coverage.  Regarding the long boards, seems we are coming
around full circle!  :-)  I remember years ago when I was having a
custom Rutger board made.  He refused to make it shorter as he said it
would just plow the water!  (but I realize the article is mainly
talking about long boards).

Is there anyway we can click on the pictures and see a larger more
detailed picture of the gear?

Thanks,
Bri

When I sold snow skiis we used to joke about how easier the job would
be if all the skiis were painted white, but how little we would sell.
What in the world do graphics and photos have to do with board
performance?

Hey,

 RE: Larger pictures. Lemme see about that. Too be honest, I'm a little
limited by our CMS web management system.  I've got the hi-res
originals, so I might be able to work somethin' out.

Thanks Josh. Just wish a big guy had had an opportunity to sail the
Kona Mahalo in solo mode. There are a couple of shots of it being
sailed it on the Exocet web site, one with it nicely railed up.

Hey Ray,

 I'll probably get the chance to sail the Mahalo solo at some point,
and I'm not too small, at 6'0, 220, so I'll definitely post my report
if, or more likely when, I get the chance.

I'm also entertaining the idea of getting my buddy Chris, who is 6'4,
300+ and plays in the NFL, on the board. That might have to wait till
after the season is over, tho.

     - Josh

Would you buy a car if you could only see it from 100 yards away?  

I like hi-res pic's so I can see more of the boards shape and etc.  Of
course you would need pic's from different angles and etc.  Anyway, no
shops in my area, so I like to see close ups of the gear, problem???
So not sure what you are driving at....performance?, graphics?...those
are your words dude, not mine.
