Thanks mermaid. That helps as I've noticed the rev is very touchy when it comes to the angle of the handle and I can't imagine trying to ride a board while doing that type of flying.
Even if nobody ends up making it to Anna Maria Island before I have to head out Saturday, it's already been a great trip. Sitting by the pool with a crisp evening breeze and good music streaming over the laptop. All that would make it better is a couple of Coronas but I left them up in the condo and I'm too content to get up.
