Flat or concave deck?
Front foot is definitely concave, tail end is subtle concave / flat.

Initial feels:
Bottom feels almost flat, very little concave.
Entry rocker lower than I anticipated (good, I like entry flat af).
Tail is thinned out and feels rippy.
Concave deck makes the rails feel a big full, but they're tucked in nice.
Infused glassing feels slightly heavier than regular layup glassing.
Fin boxes are way back. I think I could just use large thruster fronts, might not need giant twins.

Really? Ok, I'll get some bigger twins.

A guy is selling akila fiberglass clears for $45 on Craigslist but won't respond to my messages!

I don't want those two colored teal/blue akilas in stores, they look rank.

I heard the album factory custom zippo is down and they can no longer burn string ends correct for leash strings:drowning:
Pfft.

My leash loop guy (the one who ties them with his prehensile feet) uses the console lighter out of his '66 Pontiac GTO (3 on the tree). Perfect singe every time. They're $75. But when I'm YOLOing on Albums, what's another $75 when I'm spending $13,000 on a board?
