I wouldn't be surprised if Powderdigit comes up with the board in Post #7,or set in post # 9 this year.

Dang Mr. magictwanger, you beat me to it! I was thinking it looked like something Mr. Lucky….errr…. Mr. Powderdigit found walking the dog today.

Actually, are those slide out wing extensions on the board? Where can i learn more about the board, dimensions, wood specie, etc.? I love to know more about.
