Ahh the good old days!, you really did know every kiter.
Remember James lending me one of his Zak boards, first time I met him at Brighton, blew me away at the time. After seeing Dave Mitas on this camo directional, blazing through Mentone, thought I've got to get into this. It was really hard to comit to this one little bag hanging from the the rafters at SHQ going for $2000 that know one could really tell me much about.
