	I was Steve's first team rider when he opened Walden Surfboards in 1967. A few years back I was looking for a longboard that could handle larger waves easily and had the good fortune to try a Magic Model. Now I currently use a high performance Walden Magic Model that not only nose rides well on any wave but I find it especially suited to bigger days.
	I was discussing a noseride I had with Greek one day and mentioned how much vibration I felt when my speed increased. He told me about a new fin design he had been working on that would both eliminate the vibration and also help prolong my noserides. It worked and I have been using Turbos ever since. I currently use my 7 1/2" Turbo on larger days and my 9 1/2" Turbo most other days.
	Of course I like this one. Just like the old baseball card days but surf cards instead. The packs contain 100% All Natural Chewing Gum in various flavors plus each pack contains two Collectible Trading Cards. The cards feature surfers & boardriders from around the world. Pros, team surfers, and some x-tremely unknown locals looking good. If you have a great picture you can send it in and it may end up on a card. 10 cents from every pack goes to organizations dedicated to improving ocean quality.
	My wife is into scented candles so I picked up a MaxWax scented candle and a few bars of surfboard wax at a contest last year. She has since been hooked on the candles and I find the different temperature scented board wax perfect for my needs. They sell a large variety of scents with smaller and larger candles. Board wax isn't a big cost item but this is the one I prefer, no rash, the warm water wax lasts, and it doesn't look dirty like some waxes.
	The PaddleAir is a great idea for surfers with back problems, particularly older surfers. It's a vest-type device that works well to relieve back pressure. Years back I ran my Wave Trek Surf Van off a cliff in New Mexico when returning from an East Coast visit. My back was seriously injured and has bothered me ever since, especially on days when I paddle a lot, or during the winter when I'm wearing heavy rubber. One of my former students, Dave Hilts, let me try a new product he was working on to ease the stress on my back and neck. It works.
