sweet dale. appreciate it. I'd be stoked to try it out/borrow it for a couple of sessions. Give me a shout if you are rolling through. I live on the old island highway in royston. looks like there should be some wind towards the end of the week.

thanks vik. would love to try it before spending $550 on a skim board. I have one of the nobile ones but want to try something with a little more surf feel.

Crescent Beach/White Rock!

Hey just looking at getting some lessons out here at crescent or white rock. I'm free almost every day at 3:30 and pretty much have all the gear. Any references of qualified instructors or lines on some lessons close to home here would be much appreciated!
