Thank you Cliff for your reflections.
Dave, you keep on keeping on and you will ultimately find the right board for your talents. In the meantime it is good to hear the pro and cons of the boards you are checking out. Keep up that good work.
DNJ: At one time I would have thought that might be a great idea having been a boxer both in high school/college and pro for a time after that. I used to have a ring set up in my back yard and took on all comers every afternoon. Now I have a rocking chair and a keyboard instead
That is the reasong I had to quit playing horns. I always had fat lips, and no teeth
