Wainman Hawaii introduces their premier twin-tip board: the Blunt. It was designed to be crazy-light yet strong with very little drag and massive pop. Tested in the brutal waters of Maui, the Blunt’s thin profile cuts through chop like a razor and absorbs bumps like a shock. Its smooth, skatey feel can also be enjoyed finless, which is Lou Wainman’s favorite setup. The Blunt comes with light and cushy pads that absorb the impact but don’t let the rider “dive” into the foot straps when landing with power and speed. If this board meets the standards of Wainman himself, it should certainly meet yours.

Sizes: 120, 125, 130 and 135 cm

Info as of March 26th, 2010. The beach has a drastically different look this year!

Lake McConaughy Lake Elevations: Courtesy of Central Nebraska Public Power & Irrigation District

Lake elevation as of Friday, March 26th is 3243.5 above sea level, compared to 3243.1 ft.a week ago, and 3229.5 a year ago.  Lake McConaughy has reached its 2009 high elevation of 3233.5 on July 7th, 2009, the low elevation for 2009 was 3228.6 on Sept. 18, 2009, which means the lake level dropped only 4.9 vertical feet all summer. Currently we have gained the 4.9 feet we lost and are already 10.0 feet above the 2009 high elevation.  The Lake is currently 21.5 feet below or 66.9% of its capacity of 3265.0
