    go up a size or try a different brand... most people have to wear different types of fins for summer/winter, when dealing with booties/no booties.

    wish you would have kept the post up

    I solved my bootie-fin problem by ditching the bodyboard when I was 12, didnt need fins, problem solved!

    what type of fins are you using? Churchills seem to be the best winter fin as the pocket is pretty wide compared to vipers etc.

    Hmmm, so you don't use fins? I thought all you do is body surf anymore as your body is ravaged by constant injuries........Point Panic.......them tricky stairs.........the ocean all coming at you and shoot.

    Now of course, you don't have that boot-fin problem because you live in Da Islands, brah !! Whooo Hooo.

    Oh man, Makey Stopy going to get ah so cold next year when he returns to his humble beginnings.

    I hear Somers Point is going to hold a parade to celebrate the return of such a noble big wave legend. Going to start at Rt 9 in front of the Acme and head south and eventually stop at The Grilled Cheese and Crabcake Factory where participants get $2.00 of any crab cake sandwich. Soup is still full price, jerkorfs.

    MIS never misses a chance to crap on somebody or something, huh? That's a sure sign of someone who feels inferior and has self-esteem problems. They try and build themselves up by attempting to take others down.

    Dude, if you think I am hot-and-bothered then you aren't too bright and can not read tone. Yeah, I'm all upset. I just beat up my elderly neighbor because of your boogie board insult. I almost went after Lionel but thought better of it. Lionel's crazier than I am.

    MIS, I've never had a meltdown on here. If you think I have, well, BOY HOWDY, are you in for a surprise.

    Honey, I've been here a lot longer than you have. Don't cop out and be one of those dorks who play the " Oh you get banned and won't last" thing. It's weak, man. And it's been done before by lesser dweebs than you. Yeah even bigger dopes than you. I don't care aboot bans. I'm kind of not feeling this whole thing anymore. I reckon it's run its course.

    No, I don't "creep" on Face Book. I don't even know how one would "creep" on Face Book. You punch in a name and find the info you are searching for. Ain't no different than anything Sgt Rick Hunter and Sgt Dee Dee McCall did back on the LAPD.

    Right, MIS, you have never been on Face Book. You just stick to surf predictin website message boards. But I do use clues I gather to do some Encyclopedia Brown detective work, especially on those that have EVER said anything negative towards me. I hold grudges.

    Oh man, I've seen some doozies. MIS, a lot people on here are all talk. They lie aboot where they live. They lie aboot their dedication to surfing. They lie aboot how active they are with the surfing. They try and act snarky and rough, but they're really little marshmellows.

    It speaks volumes.

    Oh, you may wonder why I am leaving out the "13" in your SI handle.......MIS-13. My God I was contacted by Surrenos, La EME, and practically every Southern California hispanic gang and was ordered to stop including "13" in association with you. They think you are a susio culo. They also think you are a chocha because you are afraid to stand up for your beliefs.

    And MIS, you weren't joking. You do it quite frequently. And actually, I have wanted to snap-wise at you 9 times in the last four days, but I didn't.

    Remember brah, if you really have problems with me, I'm in the area when you return home. Don't just be a wise guy on the computin machine. Tell me off in person someday. Just don't do it in front of my friends at the bus depot in Pleasantville. I have a reputation there.

    Pat, MIS isn't funny. MIS has never come close to being witty. Him and his SI ally think butt and fart jokes are funny. He's a dorky domesticated guy who armchair quarterbacks political and societal issues from the comfort of his home. Talks a talk but doesn't walk any walk.

    He has so much contempt for political figures and structures but does nothing aboot it because, " He don't want to go to prison." Thank God George Washington wasn't afraid of prison. Or TREVOLUTION. These are the people who make differences in the world. Not some dude trying to impress 14-year-old, half-literates on a surf predictin' website forum with talk of anarchy.
