i let patrick pick mine but if i had to choose i would go with this...utah back country...1976....homemade board.....NO BINDINGS

randall

charlie.....i kinda likethe black on black...its unusual and super clean.....maybe experiment with a quarter inch whitw stripe between the two or....i'd just leave it

randall

nic...though i doubt he would remember it i spoke to george greenough a number of times in the early 70's when i lived in santa barbara and surfed rincon , the ranch, and the channel islands......george had a little whaler with a home made cabin to surf offshore......a very interesting and inovative...

randall

randall

thanks for the link...thats pretty interesting reading....31s from 225K-25K....is one really worth 10 times the other...the 25K boat looks nice.....wish they had a picture of the one in kansas.....and amazing how many are overseas

randall

randall

hampton bays would be great for the LI west contingent...maybe even the NJ guys.....and really isnt much further from new england than montauk if you go thru the gut and peconic bay......

randall

thanks patrick....largest waves i ever surfed on the east coast were compliments of hurricane" gabrielle"...sept 1989.....started out with 30 guys and overhead surf...surf started to build and i told myself i would stay out till i either wiped out or straigened off making paddleing back a risk.........

randall

yeah, thats the ticket...maybe i could be a yacht decorator......yes darling....maybe something in a mauve?

randall

like i said.......i dont have a clue why its true....but it is......BTW andre...i stole your line and use it all the time at volleyball....and im pretty sure the fraznoids have a lot to do with it

randall

my friend rattled off a formula....said it was couner intuative watch this...............stuck a phillips head screwdriver in the coil terminal on the distributor cap......took the wire and moved it closer and further from the screwdriver while the engine was running.......the spark got hotter as he...

randall

spent two hours at the boat last night with my friend the mechanic..... and what i accomplished was i learned some new tricks for testing continuity...i learned how to increase voltage by increasing distance....i learned lots about my carb ... i learned my engines will run all day on 5 cylinders.......

randall

pam...ive met john...he's cool at the dock....if you like a yellow hull you might look at "buddy boy" on this site...ive seen it in person also and photos dont do it justice......good luck

randall

thanks scott...i would encourage everyone to look at the site and this boat in particular.......AWESOME!!!!

randall

harry....i know exactly why.....engine has no risers....generally not a problem but on this particular day it was very rough and i must have gotten a surge back up the manifold on one bank of cylinders......if it happend now i could be running again in half an hour.....live and learn.....also now i ...

randall

walter and rawleigh....thanks...took out a few plugs and droped a clean towel over the holes....no oil no water...port side only....starboard is so hard to get at im saving it for last......oil looks good....no water no metal flake...........airplane mechanic friend is gonna go over there with me th...

randall

scot....im not seein anything ...is it me or am i just in a parallel universe

randall

hey i got a few shares of powered surf board myself........most of the powered kayaks (and canoes) are slow and relativly quiet.....not jet skis at all.....this guy(video) is just waiting for a small obsticle in the water to ruin his day

randall

harv.......contrary to the claim in the video they have been around in one form or another for decades...guy at my marina had one...was a pretty prolific fisherman

randall

walter...have an old friend visiting and we went down to flaggy hole (gardiners bay)....by far the most boats i have seen on the bay all summer...........by far....we went for a dinner cruise a few nights ago and in 3 hours on the bay saw maybe 5 boats total........this afternoon from where we were ...

randall

randall

mark....what harv said is true...the boat is great but the people are better....you now have good friends all over the place........as Vic once said........"if you need my help and you dont ask...i'll be pissed".....or words to that effect...point is ...over time it has turned out.....there not just...

randall

harv...kayak surfing is for folks that cant actually surf..(although i gave it a go in panama)..friend from the city calls me and says what are you doing home...its pumping......says a friend from montauk called him so he called me.....jump in the truck and hit the local jetty...head high and glassy...

randall

randall

how big are the injector holes (see i just pull the plugs to get in the cylinders, a rare victory for gas)......i have a pump mike and i use to change oil...the smallest tube is pretty small and might work

randall

i did what i would call a light blast with fine sand.....low pressure and some distance........took off 80-90 percent of the paint...left the gel coat alone.......figured if it got to be 35 years old with no problems...why mess with it now
