i got rid of my shortboards but did keep a favorite hybrid fishboard..
i dont surf locally anymore (too far a drive here for so so mushy waves)...
i do pack the board when i get an excuse to spend time in hawaii... sometimes i take it to DR for encuentro.
if i had to choose between spending one morning waiting in a line up @ a heavy 'cannons' in kauai or getting a week boardriding kanaha in maui during peak wind season...
well...
i'd choose to go get abused by cannons without hesitation.
..north shore kauai is a special place with some special special waves.
