Okay, I need one. I live 550 miles from surf, but for $150, I can use it once or twice a year, and it will be money well spent.

The risk is that it would make me quit my job, sell my house, and move westward to live in a beat-up RV on the coast. I can live with that. I don't think Shell can. *sigh*
