When are taking off & planning to return Mark?

Mark · Mon Oct 06, 08 5:25 pm

No real hard plan. Leave around 10am be back around 3-4 ish.

I'm in! Call me in the morning Mark. Hopefully the wind will be really strong or light. (My 11m is dead again. Sad

)

I gotta ride my 7.5 with the new dual-layer chicken loop rope. Very Happy

If the outer layer wears through and breaks, the inner layer remains intact and un-worn! (Thanks to Trevor for giving me the idea! )
