Surfed many times and places with Gamivia Duke and Tower7. Also ended up establishing lasting friendship w/Gamivia Duke. Turns out we went to uk rolex replica the same high school but he was three years ahead and "cool" so I didn't know him, but I've known the girl he married since 4th grade. Surfed with Surfgeo, Egosurf and John Ferguson in Central Mexico. Successfully hooked up and surfed with long time lurker (since '92 he claims!, way longer than me) and infrequent poster Jay. The University of Florida connection discovered after my "All My Boards" post was too much to ignore, so we hooked it up with Tower7 at an immensly popular Los Angeles beach break.

NZed Surfa in Wellington New Zealand back in July. We didn't surf,
'cause it was flat and cold and I just got off a 13 hr plane ride through
a time warp where today became tomorrow but 5 hours earlier. I guess
those would also be NZed's first points as
