The Biscuit looks like a good choice too. The Sashimi would probably ride faster and generate more speed due to the tail, but not as carvey or loose as the Buscuit.

I lived/ surfed the Right Coast in the Jax Beach/ St Auggie area for a few years. One of the most popular CI boards was the Flyer. For good reason as this board rips in knee to overhead surf. A Flyer with a little extra width and thickness might be a better option for one good all around board.

While down there, keep an eye on the reports up the coast. It could be flat in Ft. Lauderdale, but totaly ridable and fun an hour or so north.

Like 6’8” x 20ish” x 3ish“? 3" sounds thick, but I weight 180.

I'm such a kook. Think I'll just get a foam BZ.

Your over estimating your weight factor. 180lbs is not that heavy for 6 foot height. If your going for the Flyer, the extra width and thickness of these boards allows you to ride it shorter. 6'4 x 19 1/4 or 19 1/2 would be good. Contact the guys @ The Surf Station ((904) 471-9463 ) This shop is also the East Coast CI warehouse. They are cool people who are really helpful.

My nephews went to Flagler and know the guys at Surf Station. One's in St. Augustine for a week or so now...gonna give him a call today. It was head high a couple days ago but has flattened out so I'm less antsy but it would be nice to have something for the next time it kicks up.

Thanks a ton, Jav, and everyone else for the info.

So, for supposedly always being flat the pier here has been surfable 2-3 days a week for the past 3 weeks. It's not pretty surf, but there's sort of a line and usually no one out.

Heading to St. Augustine and will problaby go flat and fat since I realized I totally suck.

Wish me luck, homos.

PS: Willywhit, there are tons of people kitesurfing here. No fucking way am I doing that shit. They're like 500 yards offshore going eleventy billion miles an hour one minute, and on the sand the next. With my vision I'd get into way too much trouble on one of those things.

no worries, I guess kitesurfing is a good alternative when the waves are blown out. I just spoke with a brasilian friend of mine that recently moved to Deerfield Beach and he's kiting alot and loving the area. We used to ride dirtbikes together alot up here in Mass and he's become a lifelong friend.I might be heading down there in the Fall for a visit on the way to Brasil.

have fun !

As a non-surfing kook haole all I've got to say is that Channel Is. website is super sweet. Why can't ski manufacturers have sites like that?

**willywhit** · 05-24-2007, 08:35 AM

finally got out on the old G & S 7'4" with the kite. it's kinda like the old Mark Richards board with the superman MR. single fin, 70's classic fish

Mmmm, free board.

I got a glimpse of a normal summer day last week. Evening looked good the evening before: waist-to-chest and not too terribly blown out. I've been getting back to my little-kid bodysurfing roots. Then the next morning it was like a freaking lake. Flatsville. So weird.

So I went fishing and caught a snook from the beach
