I sold the Junod. Actually I sold/traded it for $200 and a down sleeping bag. A good deal for both of us. But the problem is, now what? I'm not really excited about replacing it with anything.
I have a 1/2 full surf closet with a kneeboard that's starting to fall apart, an old 7' single fin, a 6' stub (summer is starting.) I feel like I'll make it through the summer with what I've got and who knows what after that. Will I get back in shape? Will that bring the stoke back?
I did find a semi-secret spot. The wave wasn't great, not any better than the next beach over, except that there was only one person surfing there and there were about 100 at that next beach over. I balked at paddling out and paid for my hesitation. I watch for an hour and then started to get ready to do it when 4 more guys showed up. Anyway, the reason I mention this is because I got it into my head that this wave would have been good for an alaia, which I don't have one of, but would like to get one. I know where to get a Palowina blank (the wood that wegner uses) and my dad has all the wood working tools I would need to chuck wood. The problem is $200+shipping for something I would use occasionally, or rarely, like the surf mat and kneeboard spoon. Maybe I should focus on those items first, before I branch out further.
