It’s fine to show off your new Mojo Surf rod to that special someone. Heck, you can even go into excruciating detail about how great they perform and how strong SC^II graphite makes them. But when you get to the weight-saving surf guides, drop it there. Any mention of anything that would make it easier to stay out longer could take the conversation – as an obligated parent, partner or significant other – in a direction you don’t want to go, if you know what we mean.
