The first part of this post is really directed to the moderators. In the surfing reddit we have the option of having our location and board next to our name. So for example mine says, "untwisted (7'8" Vernor Hybrid, Santa Cruz CA)" which is nice for knowing what someone's primary setup is as well as their local waves. I think it would be cool to have something similar here. I've actually used that to find others surfing in Santa Cruz and met up with them before. Is there any chance we could get something like this?

Second question: Anyone ride in Santa Cruz, CA? I would love to meet up with someone a bit more experienced and cruise around. I don't really take hills well (mostly foot brake slowly down them), but I'm working at it and I think having a buddy to shred with would help.
