Missed you guys! I was at the Malibu booth all day. Got there about 7:15 and left about 5. Looked around but did not see anyone I recognized.

Man, I hope you got a little of the early water, because the rest of the day looked like the ocean out there. Many of the people that came by were asking how various boats handled on rough water. I guess they got to find out. They were pretty impressed.

Joe: Sick Stalefish!

We had it worse on the Delta today. Wind was blowing big time. Found some ridable water though so it was all good. Felt good to ride in mid 60s water.

Yeah bug and Joe, what's your take on the fish?

Couple weeks ago this boat was wakesurfing back in the ski course at Pedro. I actually asked them if they could go somewhere else. It was the only good water at the time.

Know how you feel, I volunteered my VLX for the Malibu Demo Day at Anderson and there was a Bass tournament going on as well. It was interesting when we all decided to leave at the same time. Victoria was primo on Friday though.

Josh ~ thanks for the pulls and hooking up the channel. It was a great to get out on nice water and not be in a hurry. Too bad I hurt my knee on the 1st run. Your X2 is sick and I would love to see some of that footage.

THE FISH ~ This has to be one of the funniest boards I've ridden to date. The pop is awesome. Strait up and explosive. I was really surprised on how well the board edges. The landings could be a little softer, but I was riding it with a sore knee. I think I would get the 129, but the 125 was not that small. Nose grabs are a little harder cause of the size, but after the 1st miss I had it down.

If any who is reading this and would like to trade the 129 LF fish for a 144 HL roam..... I'm game.

How is the water quality at elsinore right now. Is there any visibility in the water. Last time I summer when I was there you couldn't see more than a inch or two below the surface.

it's nowhere near as green as it usually is. does that help?
