Sorry for the lack of updates on the FG calendar, I have been rather busy the last month: Wrote comprehensive exams, went to Colorado for a workshop then Tofino for a meeting. Its a hard luck life, having to learn to surf while I was in Tofino. I went to the Surf Sisters surf school for a lesson. They were totally cool and good instructors. I was standing up after the first couple of tries. About the only disappointments was that I didn't have any good crazy crashes. Clearly I must go back to Tofino so I can properly crash a surf board.
Anyway, I am now left wondering if its possible to attach a surf board to a bike.
Also I threw in some events into the calendar... I will attempt to keep that more up to date!

but growing up there were simpler designs.
basically its better to have it behind you as having the board side-mounted increases board damage if you drop your bike.
many of my friends still have 'beach bikes' that are basically junkers with a rack attached that they ride to the beach in their wetsuit or trunks and then maybe they lock it, maybe they dont.
kids will ride up to 25mins in their wetsuits with their boards under their arms as well.
ah the memories...
Check this film out if u get a chance.. Riding Giants.. I'm not into surfing at all but this was cool:
