The Collapsible Surfboard...uh...Revolution
It seems everybody I know has had moments of idle daydreaming about schemes never likely to see the light of day - mainly pertaining to ways to circumvent the abusive board fees major airlines charge ($150 each way, thanks AA). Ever imagined sawing your board in half and putting a hinge on it? Well, how about this design, surely cooked up by Q on a slow day at MI6:

Larry Mabile 5'3" GHOSTBUSTER
Today my obsession got the better of me and I bit the bullet. I get a call from my man at Mollusk that some Larry Mabile boards just arrived so I went on down to check it out. I left with this 5'3" Ghostbuster in collaboration with hydrodynamica. Just waiting for the other fins to arrive to make this thing a twinzer. I love this board and can't wait to take it out! Check back in a month or so for a report.
Great outline.
Hydrodynamica!
Larmo!
Itching to make this a twinzer.
The wings are sick. Crazy bottom turns coming up!
Scooped nose.
More wings.
Damn.
Glass-on Larry Gephart fins.

Board Exchange
There were may good boards to be had! The second one from the left is a Fineline with a Greenough fin. It was gone in the time it took me to try on a wetsuit.

More on the Mini Simmons
I'm completely obsessed with adding a Mini Simmons to my quiver. Here are two links with more info. It's Rusty Preisendorfer laying down his extensive knowledge of history and design.
