I'm likely going to Nexen this weekend for the second time. What are some good places to eat at in Squamish after a day on (or in) the water?

Hey Alton. Is the right fin on the North CSC still kind of mangled?

Didn't look or notice ... but pretty sweet surfboard. Unbelievably lightweight. Took some getting use to. Started losing speed exiting my gybes until I figured out to shift weight more forward when gybing. Love cranking turns on the North CSC surfboard.

Pull the trigger Alton! You need something lighter than that tank you're ridin' :P

Honestly though for your style I'd say make sure you demo an OR Duke too first.

Thanks LeopardSkin. Look for ward to giving them a try.

My O'Neill 5/4 Mutant arrived. Ready for Squamish.

Demo'd the North CSC surfboard again and found a fracture along the lead edge of the left fin. I wonder if this could create some friction. Anyway still fun to ride.

I think my surfboard "tank" may have taken in some water. Also, have my eye on Vanguard Firewire and Jimmy Lewis surfboards ... but no rush. Still enjoying my "tank"

Early start (11am) at Squamish today. Steady SW 20-25 until becoming gusty around 3pm. Fun riding the 8m North Dice and 5'2" North Pro CSC surfboard again. Last hour switched to my 9m+TT for some boosting fun.
