Wow, AW is actually saying up to 20. They usually undershoot.
This could be good.

Aviation weather is saying 19 knots on Weds @ 2 PM. They are VERY CONSERVATIVE and usually are right on... unlike NOAA who overestimates.
Looks like Weds afternoon may be dope!!!!
Yo H. lets DW PAG 2 IRB WEDS @ 2? Build Kiteyak Thurs?

I just took delivery last night of Tom Stocks latest creation called the Danny Johnson Pro Model. This means I MIGHT actually get to try it out. I'll post pictures of it soon, very well made board.

Man, I will take solid 13/15 this time of year.

Danimal, that board kicks the crap out of 95% of the 800 dollar boards out there.
You are going to be in heaven.

I hate you all.

Just kidding, I hope it blows for you guys. While you are boosting, just think of me in my class marching and running in formation and doing pushups and leg lifts till it pushes the farts out of us...heck, maybe between us all in the class we will generate some extra thermals for you guys...You're welcome, might smell like scramby eggs tho, LOL!

Board challenge:

I am 100% positive that Tom builds a great board.

I am also 100% sure that a board I sell in the shop rocks as well.

Dan, feel free to stop in anytime and pick up a 555 Nobile, any size, your choice. Take it as long as you like.

Compare the boards in all types of conditions and let me know what your opinion is when your done.

Not really looking for a winner just your thoughts on the comparrison.

I hope to ride till I puke this week.

I guess different people like different things.
But Danimal can definitely decide if another board is worth 500 bucks more.
They really should be, logically.
