if someone asked me if i was a gear junkie, my first reaction would probably be to say no. but then i’d think about it for maybe one second and then say yes. i don’t want to be a gear junkie, but i tend to do a lot of things that require a lot of gear. and having your own gear is almost always better than renting.

i knew i was going surfing today, so i figured that i could continue to rent a board or i could buy one. of course, i opted to buy. so now i am the proud owner of seven-feet-and-six-inches of kelly-green fiberglass. i rode it today. it seems to glow in the water, it’s fast and it turns well. the pointed nose does make it hard to catch slow, mushy waves though and unfortunately, that’s what today was. still, i am happy with my purchase. the guy in the surfshop said that this is a good board to build my quiver of boards around. and while the four bikes in the living room might indicate otherwise, i think i’m sticking with one board.
