Travis--- i see you and Meghan out at McRee frequently. I live in Mobile but my sailboat is on Bayou Chico. My gear is Cabrinha and I am wondering about the underground boards. Are you guys selling them or is there a shop in Pcola? I have been buying from XCel Kites in FWB and want to buy in Pcola from here on out.
Also, where is First Flag? I usually am at Mcree or Big Sabine. As i am just learning, I am looking for at least 6 feet of easy access for the sailboat and water that is shallow enough to drag around. What other suggestions do you have?
We were out on one of the sailboats (Cat named SeaEsta) at Big Sabine during the "Epic Weekend" What an awesome specitical that was! Got me really pumped for the season.
thanks - james

Actually we're the Underground reps for the area so we can give you a great deal on the boards. We have both the FLX line and the Zephyr line.
Here's a link to the website for more info:

First Flag is the first lifeguard flag after Portofino heading east. It's a gulfside spot. For a spot with a huge sandbar, Big Sabine is hard to beat. There is the next cove over to the west. It's a big half-moon cove with a huge sandbar. I don't think you could get the boat in quite as far as Big Sabine though. Here's a link to some of the local spots:

We haven't had a chance to incorporate it into the site yet. It's a good overview of the most popular spots.
We're looking forward to seeing you again. We haven't been out in the boat for so long. It's been one thing or another that's kept us from getting out to Ft. McRee. We'll be out there soon!

I am going to be in Pcola this afternoon and Thursday AM. Can I come by and check out the boards? We have a friend that lives in Hawaii hanging out with us this weekend and I was going to bring him..... he left his Underground 134 on the island and I thought he could help us pick out a new board. He says they rock!
Thaks for the information and the link. For this week we are going to be at Big Sabine so our freind can do both Gulf and intercoastal kiting. Hope to see you guys.
thanks

We're planning to head out to the beach this afternoon for a session. The wind looks like it will hold up. We'd love to meet you out there. I'll send you an email and maybe we can coordinate things.

Phillip,
Sorry we had to go out of town last weekend but it was Meagan's moms birthday. We did manage to get on the water on Sun. on St. George Is. Had a blast. I was out on the 135 doing full speed, laid out, toeside waterski style carves harder than I ever have. And I felt fully in control. The boards make it so easy. The wind was only blowing 10 to 15 and I was on the 9m Slingshot and the 135. I couldn't believe it. I can't wait for you to try the new boards. Heck, I can't wait to try them. The only ones I've ridden are the 135 FLX and the 138 Zephyr.

Stay in touch and we'll get out on the water soon.
