yeah Trav is in college boys, so that just means we is another year older. Trav ha experimented on all kinds of boards - fish, short (70's single only), some performance longboards, but he seems to come back to the 9'-8" Cheater always, he really rides that board, slow carving turns, stepping to slide five and in the right conditions a nice 10, 10 piggies over. Myself, ridin a 10'-6" Infinity right now, less rocker than the Rapier, thicker, heavier, triple stringer (redwood) it is a fun board, I likes to sit outside and catch em deep. I might make it down to say hey.
