It's all good. It's just a board. I still got the old one that I love and was just trying to add volume. Maybe I'll sell the new one and buy some of that marine foam like Curren to add to my old one LOL.

Gotta be the asym tail pad placementOh man. It's a dud.
Today was about as good as it gets at my local. Head high to almost double overhead steep peaks with long walls and lots of double ups. I tried split keel fronts for more speed with my regular rears (yesterday I tried AM Large fronts with my regular rears). I also packed the split keel rears in my boardshorts to test them too. Board struggled to get speed despite the waves having lots of energy and steep walls. I struggled to make sections and when I did get up to the lip I had to do the wackest windshield wiper turns. Super bummed on this one. Gonna have to email Dylan to figure out what happened. Board feels like it's dragging an 8 pound dumbbell off the back. When I compare the new Mr Buzz to the old one, it looks like the new one has a little more tail rocker and a lot less entry rocker, could explain why it feels so slow.
I'll try it one more time, but most likely a sell. Probably my last big board purchase as we put an offer on a house!

It's the best feeling! Gonna have to force the old one to work. It's just a little too thin for paddling but I'll make due. It's such a sick little board.That feeling of full speed carves on the little sled is the buzz I reckon you were after. Glad you kept the old one.

this is interesting. have you contacted Stretchy?
somewhere buried on this thread are rocker outlines on top of one another. you had a superbuzz too, right? did you notice any difference in rockers? that one is supposed to have more nose broker than mr buzz, i think (this has nothing to do with your issue huh? just wondering cuz my new superbuzz should be arriving anyday )
I know they tweak their models a bit based on preference. for example we got some Square ones. My board is more beefie and the outline looks stubbier than my friends board. His is just more "bladey" overall. i tried his board and did not like. well waves were small but it was a frggn knife. He wasn't totally sold on the board either. But we went surfing the other day (waves had a little more push) and he was catching anything and everything on that thing. I'm like "fck man, good thing you didn't like it." he caught all the best waves. it was clearly working for him. he wasn't even paddling that hard!
my board is the blue one 6'0 and his is the green is maybe 6'1".
Just my experience...
That’s actually a very good modelThe most consistently good boards I got were from a shaper that is the same size as me. I told him to shape one for himself and I'll buy it. Never gave him any numbers or input. Every one I got from him was good. He's currently not shaping otherwise I'd order one.
