Part (most) of the fun of traveling for a race is getting to see folks - especially my shaper Joe Bark! I got to test boards with the crew Friday before the Jay Moriarity race. Here we are at Santa Cruz Harbor Beach and boat dock testing the equipment. Jack Bark, Joe's son, let me use his unlimited board for the race (he went stock). I was phsyched; his board is a black beauty that came pre-labeled with Maui Jim and Vertra logos. Perfect! |
