[Letsrig] [more_downhaul] Anyone hear from the guys at Foxlately?

[Christopher Zeitvogel]

Thank you Leon for those great web sites!
Especially the Board Lady.

I like to joke about duct tape alot, and my family gives me duct tape in 
different colors at Christmas time,
But on my boards now I only use Aluminum tape. Get the Good Stuff. You'll 
know it is high grade alumi-tape if it does not peel off at planing speeds. 
Its very popular amougst wsfers here in Japan.

Oh, and ding-stick is a must-have of course. While you should definatly buy 
one from your local wsf shop; when no one is looking you can go to Wal-Mart 
and buy the same epoxy-putty stuff for 1/4 the price. I have rebuilt whole 
crushed noses with the stuff.

More wind to ya!

Can you believe those two sets of photos were taken on the same day? It WENT 
OFF after about 10AM. I sailed an hour before being too overpowered to 
continue.
