Thanks bro. Max/Rios boards were good but cracked easily. I never got my hands on one but Jason Nireby (dominated surfside every summer and also the dude who gave me some tips and inspired me on how to surf) started on one. I was introduced to those boards back in 02'. They've now progressed into the epoxy era, thanks to the NSP's. Did you/do you have a board? who's ur shaper?
[EDIT] might be hitting up Cali this summer, all depending on my budget set aside for Ibiza. Will be putting my longboard to work

at least for old focks like my self. My heyday was back in 88-92 I went through like 2 John Rios boards and 4 Maxwells, for that reason you stated. I would always screwed em up up coming in the inside to surf some garbage. I lived outside of ROsenburg so Surside was just down the road. BUt nothing compared to 3mile cut down in Matagorda. If you would shoot the river and scoot on over to the west side of the river pertty good stuff. My bud ordered and surfed a 5'9" BH and I picked up an old 5'11" Rusty during my senior year. Now mind ya, the BH and Rusty were just way to fast for texas surf. but we always had a Rios on stand by. Damn haven't been up since 2000.
Started to surf with some longboards just due in fact to I am fat! ha ha
couldn't float a short, maybe now, but living up in Austin, its hard to find the time for it.

LOL that's one thing I will never do again, is chase storms. I saw a few tiger sharks when i surfed surfside right before hurricane Rita. Frightened as hell, I pee'd in the sea and left.
I shouldn't ask you this, but how did being bit by a shark feel? Was it a tiger shark? Those are usually the ones brought in by southern undertoe forces associated before/after storms. That's when those hungry feckers come out to hunt.
