Hey Vincent,



If you guys do drive to Big Bear next year and I take my buggy maybe we could meet up mid US somewhere and caravan. You guys are an inspiration.

After having seen the quality difference between my Manx II and SurfNC's original Manx I would say try to find an earlier one. The fiberglass is almost twice as thick. I think that is one of the reasons my shell is so warped.
