Board felt stiff. Have used this rocker off and on for a very long time. Can’t tell if it’s because the waves have been kinda bad and funky and lack down the line speed to loosen things up or because been surfing some high tail rocker boards for a bit. The blank felt extra strong as well, and a bit stiff on the flex, and those tiny variations you just gotta roll with.

So far it seems like a combo of all the above.

Hopefully get some decent waves soon on it to give it a chance. Or the board could get regulated to the bench , and surfed on junk days only for its remaining time. When that happens sometimes a specific board gets unfairly dismissed, and cut quickly out of the quiver.

So far only one sesh on it.

Busy weekend with this guy.

Last of the fine tuning of new models. I think we are finally there.

Swallow and wing swallow.

A gifted Monkey wax, trying this as well.

Trying to find a new tacky wax replacement to the discontinued Dream Cream. Fu is suppose to be the one with the hype.

Recovery

Goodies to try.

Testing some tiny changes and combos on materials.

Pre-rain storm sesh.

Pretty stoked on the partial hand shapes on these prototypes. Was really able to let go of ridged structure and try to push more performance into the design.

Machine cut errors leaving a batch of boards to thick. Had to bust out the hand shape skills.

RIP

Excited. Found clear ways to add in performance.
