If Ken's Goofy is 5.4 sail on 257cm board...
and I am 5.5 on F2 285...or ChallengeFlex
then is his next bigger one 6.0 on the 257 or 6.0 on his 9'1" or 6.0 on
his 8'8"?
or is it 5.4 on 9'1".......grin

Kirk (obviously not enough wind) out
or is it 4 of last 5 days on 6.5 and 6.9 on my 9'6" board sailing at a
wt of 104.5L?
