Bump for the coombas, $200 and I'll pay the shipping if someone will give these skis a home, Plums and Dynadukes are gone.

Yeah, Hoarhey, they are going to live in SLC, I never did mount them up, I decided to use binding freedom inserts and set up a pair of RP112's to go Dukes or Dyna's,

Dynadukes are gone, plums pending, Coomba's are wanting a new home,

all Pms have been answered, solid interest in the Dynas and the Plum, skis are pre
"early rise" tips that you see on the coombacks, otherwise the same ski.

K2 Coombas, 181 tops and bases are in great shape, 2 mounts for sm. dukes 305 bsl @ 0 and +2
$200.

If you are in Yakutat for extended time , the best thing you can do for shortening the learning curve would be to connect with the local surfers there, and log as many sessions as you can, the folks...

I just bought the arcteryx alpha sv shell , it has a full cut for a roomier shoulder. fits larger than the comparable beta. lots of room for layers.

check out ikite.com , the classifieds usually have one or two of those bags hanging around for sale. I used to have one but my 150cm North was too long. good luck.
