I learned a lot from my first attempt at SEVENTY48, but it was relatively warm and dry. Depending on conditions, my SUPSkin drysuit may be a critical, must-have piece of gear to stay dry and warm. Also snacks.
From SIC: In addition to being a tremendous downwind board, it's a fitness and touring board that can drop in and surfs ocean swell as well as beach and point breaks.
Perfect for SEVENTY48 14' x 27

We are skipping the camping gear this year and just bringing lots of food and gatorade and our handy pee bottles. We custom built a mast to go on the rowboat last year with a big mirror and I don't think we are making any changes to the boat

I get pissed off/annoyed/frustrated at our complicated/techno world (like having to TWICE fill out an application for a race just so I can pay them money to join it). I just want to be on a body of water with oars and a boat.
