Hope you get good news from VGH Dave.
Love the shot of the old Dill board at Swell City. One of the original pintail Gorge boards, it's amazing to see one still on the water instead of becoming part of a bench or fence. I remember those sticking to the water no matter how gusty it got, but sinking like a stone in the holes! Almost as old-school as a Windsurfer One-design
