Yes. Except surfermag.com is pretty fun for the trolling. Got to play it straight here.

PC- how big are you? If you say you are 5'5 riding a 6 ft board I am going to say BFD.

I'd like to hear what Mr Tee has to say about Gigs going to bed with his kneeboard.

I would like to see pictures!!!............Well maybe not

Lookin at the old Churchill XL Makapuu's(with the old ground off logo from like 25 years ago), they are alot softer and the ribs much smaller. I never had any problem with them hangin. But the new ones really cause alot of things to happen when stickin out. The XL fins have a much bigger blade than the larges and such. But got to have them for the pocket size and the added blade is a bonus for power in the currents......

Well maybe I would like to see pics!!

And is wearin them on the wrong feet really a possible solution to keep blade size up and be able to walk in them??

totally bill E. the foot pockets are symetrical....i wear 2 makapuus that are both rights...their blunt cut though, with the outside edges lobbed off..no drag, but enough power to save my ass when I do something stupid,.. like take off on the first wave of the set on a DOH day at blacks.

ps..if you wanna try out the flashpoint ill have it at the contest....
