| Had to get out to ride my new John Bellacera board. Rufus at noon to 1 was powered 7m with nice swell. Perfect to test ride the new shape. We worked together to come up with this unique design, surfboard twin. Turns GREAT and very smooth ride. A little work needed to ride tail first but after some practice it works great. I wanted a board I could ride in the surf that I didn't have to jibe right before a nice wave pops up. As I'm a regular foot I'd be going out with left foot back and now can spin the board around quickly and grab that nice wave! It's 5'2" x 17 1/2". Rides more like a 5'6" with it's full shape and moderate concave. Great job John! Another winner!

Hey you SOB !! Driving back from Idaho and saw you guys out today, I almost drove off the road!!!
Someone might be able to fill me in on this, but I also saw three windsurfer’s that were up river of three mile! Is this a new launch? I’m only familiar with three mile and the Washington launch site just down river by the largest swell ever seen on the river.
Glad someone was out having fun. What size wetsuit was used today? Nice looking board also, thanks for the post. P.S. Don’t feel too bad since I already had two weeks in Brazil

| Water is upper 40's and air was mid 50's. Very nice December day! Cold is on its way though. Nice seeing Will, Rob and Sean out there and a few others. I have a Drysuit so no cold issues but days are numbered for all but the warmest wetsuits. Brazil sounds pretty nice! Lucky dog!
