Howdy Folks,

Long story short I'm taking some time off between jobs and just moved to Santa Cruz, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take up a new hobby!

I just picked up a second hand Kraken 13.5 and will be working on getting it ready to roll, in the meantime I've got a whole lot of reading to do, so it seemed like the right time to go ahead and join the forum.

I'm looking forward to meeting up with some of you soon!

-Brian

Welcome, and I'm sure I'll see you on the water in SC sometime.

In fact, Bushy fishes so much that the fish consider him one of their own.
