when they called my number i was floored, free skis me? now iam ready skis, board, kites. all we need now is snow, i can smell it. nov29th we will snow kite. that way i can get some mojave stuff....
oh man les! i'm so jealous! those dukes look bomber! i'm sure a guy of yoru size will love those boards. i have a first generation gotama that is about 103 underfoot, and i found them to be a bit wide in all but powder conditions. but, they are a 190 length and i'm about what, 6" shorter than you and a stone or two lighter?
anyway, great skis! you will have to let me give them a go one day.
