Re: I have decided on a board (almost), opinions on the rest?

I am probably going to be uphauling exclusively and for a while. I
can't see water starts for a while. I was thinking of getting the
dakine ez-haul (something like that) that let's you lean with your
harness to begin the uphaul process. I guess if I went with the 7
that'd be a good idea??? I already have a marginal back, fyi...
Thanks for the info btw...
