I've ridden the Surfa 9ft x 31 3/4 and loved it. I rode it about 6 months ago and it was really fun in the 2-3ft surf. I would love to have another go.
I wouldn't expect you guys to know this down-under but hawaii is the 50th state as of August 21, 1959. We stopped after that. We just spread freedom by bombing different countries now.
