Dave (C36) can I just say that you have to be the nicest guy in the windsurfing community. You are community brah!

Oh ya and now I miss my kick ass van and not the Uhaul. Look at those black rock crawler rims!

Count me in. Getting down there for at least a week at some point in the summer, depending on when the rest of the Vancouver crew are planning on going, is one of my main goals for 2015. Cannot wait.

With Carla's blessing in hand - we'll be packing the bikes, windsurfers, SUP (new to us) and dogs and heading there in June after a 4-year hiatus! :D :D
We windsurf - life must be good!

I hear you. As cool as the graphics were on that U-Haul, I know which one I would choose. :D :wink:

But getting serious for a moment...for booties that depends. Are you regular or goofy?

I'm glad you brought that up Dave. I was going to ask KC the same thing on the booties.

This thread just keeps bringing up more questions for me.... :?

DWD, so are there also color stats for "provoked" shark attacks....just in case I want to do this?
And how can they possibly group red and pink together, that's just non-sense :roll: only Moo can get away with pink and red just makes everyone look fat :oops:
Given this data, KC should probably opt for the black/slate/grey to be a team player

Guess I will be ...howling my RV somewhere else anyway, please ignore my constant invites and attempts to hook up with fellow sailors for company, it's all a façade and I actually don't like any of you. Hope you guys get some waves this year :wink:
