You are my Idol!

I used to use my 987 Boxster S to go surf, in winter, with a full suit on, with the top down and board in the passenger seat.

Gets cold in Jersey...... Good thing it had heated seats. Not sure if the Spyder will see the same duty tho.

Better wax that sucker up before you hit the water, oh no, that will mess up the seats on the way home: cheers:

Aaron: That looks like your father's Santa Cruz surfboard that he used in the 1960's and has just been recently beautifully refinish for hanging on the wall! Don't tell me your doing Mavericks with this nice oldie! That's the size of board Duke Kahanamoku would have used! Go small with a modern board and you'll have no issues taking it on the Spyder!

Saludos,
Eduardo

Seems you're all set if there is a surfboard competition at this years Parade in Monterey.

I thought that could be a fun display for the concours, but getting it down there is the trouble! I can't even close the door like that

That is a great looking brand new log, but Eduardo is right, this car demands a short board.

Default A riddle for you to figure out!

I would get this ONE. But I am not telling you which of the two options to pick. And both will fit nicely in the Spyder.

Wow, I haven't been bold enough to try and move any of my paddle boards in my Spyder yet. My 10'6" is probably not going to fit, not to mention my 14 footer...

Love the clean un-decaled look too. Looks so clean on white!

Driving a Spyder to the beach to surf, two very visceral experiences that would make for a very fun and focused day. They should have lockers at the beach where people can store their boards, that would be so much easier than figuring out and having the right cars to get them there. Hmmm, that's actually a really good idea. Anyone have some real estate at the prime surf locations?
