[quote author=Straight Dave , I honestly can't recall ever seeing someone on an inflatable in an NJ lineup, or really anywhere for that matter, in the 20+ years I've been surfing.
You haven't been looking, there's guys on lbi, oc, Avalon and cape may.........tend to ride under the radar.....it's a niche kind of thing. I started when I was rehabbing the centro America MERSA infection in my knee, and kept with it when I could ride boards again. Great backup toys on long trips. You pay no $ to the airline. Ridden mine in panama, the Maldives, outer banks.....easy to start , hard to master. Good mats=money and time but! totally worth it. I keep mat and fins in back of car for getting wet at any time.
