Guest Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I've been working on getting some details on a very interesting short handed design that Ray Beale has on the go, cheap, light and very interesting, would suit KM to the soles of his little feet. Size 9 long but size 11 wide, knot that little. Sounds interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
