    It makes it easy to walk the nose! Any good surfing where you are in Florida?

    On another note, I received an e-mail that the car is no longer available

    To bad, that was a good modified 8. I am in Jacksonville. the waves here are nothing to compare, but atleast it gets head high with the right swell. A lot of current and short rides. Any surfing is good surfing. I could have endup in Topeka, Kansas
