    Great job. I'm still curious- unless I overlooked it, I never figured out what the aluminum thing actually is/was. Some kind of wing for a boat?

    skyski.com (sorry, the forum won't let me paste the actual link because I'm a newbie!) The aluminum T-Bar and wings separated from the board. Sadly aluminum doesn't float well. So it's just a piece of watersports gear that I own and would like to have back.

I found it later in my boat. The boats and jetskis were whizzing past my diver down floats... i guess they don't know you are supposed to stay 100 feet or so away from them. Oh well...
    You gotta love it. Glad every thing worked out.

    Duh. Thanks Cave. I need to get my dive eyes back in gear. I sailed right over that and didn't see it. I actually was thinking that's what it was based on one of those Warren Miller documentaries. I think it was the one about the guys who surf those psychotically monstrous waves out in Hawaii.
