That's the tire I run on Gina's that flatted.
I run Serfas Secas and rarely flat. I flatted a coupe weeks ago but the tire was near it's end. Just replaced them last week. FTR, Gina's GP4000's flats far more than my Seca tires.

I myself get one flat on my single (serfas, that includes GMR and Devore street rides), maybe one or two on the tandem (serfas) and 3 or 4 on Gina's GP4000's ( all trail rides).
But we ride the trail 6-8 times per month (42-60 milers)
Oh, the seashells were on the last 1/4-1/2 mile of the trail on the detour of the trail at the coast. TONS and TONS of shells and lots of riders flatting. The stuff even looks like glass on the trail.
