    Now I just drove 500kms and picked up a 5'2". Got my car searched by border officers. The little monkeys could not understand that someone would ilk to go surfing alone in the middle of winter... as I told them at their face, no matter how much I try to explain this to you, if you are not a surfer you would never understand

    I'm loving that little spray job, kind of dirty looking but at the same time very effective!
    I wanted to give my Sub Scorcher a little spray job but there's already so many decals on the thing that I don't want it looking too busy!

    Today the surf here in FL was shin-knee high and I took out my 5'6'' Sweet Potato. It caught everything!!! My buddy on a long board couldn't believe it! I was catching knee high waves too before the wave was breaking! Thanks for all the advice on this forum guys. I'm excited to test it out in a little bit bigger surf but I'm definitely glad I got the 5'6''- paddles me like a longboard :) . It's coming in the car with me for every surf check from now on.

    I can't wait to get my 5'6. How much do you weigh? I'm 90kgs and hope the thing will catch everything that mal's catch too. I intend on dropping at least 5-10kgs asap.


    Cheers
