Don't you start with me too. And for the record, I did better casting yours while it was almost wide open than Paul's. I think it's just a matter of Paul being cursed.

Thanks again for the clinic that day - definitely was a big help.

I was thinking about the gloves myself, but with my luck I would forget them. I use a piece of inner tube taped on with waterproof medical tape. Works pretty well and I keep it consul storage and a spare in my surfbag just in case.

I saw those woven leather finger guards up at Surfland - They look like they might slide off.

If by "cursed" you mean letting you use my gear, then I'd agree.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

An honorable man would take his win and call it a day. Give me that video back. You're no longer allowed to enjoy it.
