Jim,

I bought IM78's at the end of last year for this years wider ski.

If I can talk Ron into bringing the Hellbents to Avalon for some surfing, I'll add that to my list of ski related activities.

I bought my iM78's in spring of '07, then Gary/Ron highly recommended the Watea 84's last spring.? Actually got a great deal, ordered '08 skis at $399, they were sold out and gave me '09s at that price.

I live in Northern Virginia, but have signed up for a bike ride run by a friend of a friend in Amherst, MA. (with shorter distances as well as the 62 and 100 mile options). Other than getting ready for that, I reckon I'll keep the rides more reasonable.? Riding 60+ miles sounds like an awful lot at this point in my 'biking life'.

Wouldn't the weight of the ski boots on the Hellbents be a disadvantage in the water??/
