Got this PIF prize in the mail yesterday!!

 

This a great paddle and the PosiLok ferrule is also SUPER sweet, allows for infinite feathering, is a breeze to adjust and take apart, and can handle all the salt/dirt/grit you can throw at it!

I love AquaBound paddles, Jim! I've been using a hybrid Manta Ray for about 5 years. Even though I have acquired fancier/more expensive paddles in the meantime, I still use my AB more frequently than the others!

Rumor has it...the Cuda is "Glow in the Dark" Illuminati color??!!  That would be perfect, and would probably lead to more Illuminatis being sold. Because the Glow factor makes a lot of sense for Norcal.

OK my boss is serving jury duty today, so I made a couple mock flyers real quick. Thumbs up, thumbs down, or kick in the crotch?

I'm donating the Large Ego S2 Slider Net that I've got listed in Classifieds.

In other news, I am no longer selling a Large Ego S2 Slider Net in Classifieds.
