    Trying to post a pic of my new blade for my "profile" and it's not working. Can somebody who's more computer literate help me out?

    Thanks-

    The file is too big. The max is 19.5kb and yours is more than double that. Download Irfanview for free and shrink it. :D

    What do you think of the new stick? The art on the bottom is a tribute to my little cousin that passed away of cancer in April; broke my heart!

    No, I met with the shaper, Jason Bennett, from Chemistry Surfboards and I told him what I was looking for. I told him how I surf and what other borads I had and had him create something different and custom to me. Then I asked him to pick one of his favorite artists to do the design on the bottom. I absolutley love the board but don't want to surf it. I tried it on a couple on Sunday but I really didn't want to risk snapping it or having some kook let his board go into mine. I almost feel like I should just hang it on my wall.....

    I know that feeling well. They're meant to be ridden though. ;)

    shrinking the file...

    I found the same problem when uploading pics here, so I open the pic with the Windows viewer and go to the top where the utilities are and use "fix", I then crop the pics and that will make the files smaller. I hope it works for you. :cool:
