Thanks Adam. Yes, its been fun for sure. We didn't end up getting a camp spot inside so we are parked outside the display area on the road behind the AEV booth. The guys from AEV have been unbelievable. We have hooked up with some old friends and met some great new people. We may be doing a...

Gnty, where you at now? We are parked for the night in Missoula.

Paul, I for one am a fan through and through. I love craftsmanship and your boards totally display that. Was there ever any thought about adding some carbon fiber to the build just for fun or is it too expensive a material to just add for no reason? Is carbon fiber any lighter than fiberglass...
