Bringing a 5'8 G SK8 and a 6'2 CI PRO in venerial to El Salvador next week. Forecast looking great 
The board sucks. If Dane Reynolds surfs that bad on it, then we mere mortals won't even get to our feet.

I was surprised how tall Wade is.
wade goodall is not 6'8
i've been on a few flights with the guy and his family from aus. Soft spoken nice family and rips!!!
I’ll guess my facetiousness wasn’t obvious enough. I’ll make sure to use an emoji next time.wade goodall is not 6'8
Moving the discussion here from the Album thread - I ordered a CI instead
6'4" x 20 1/2 x 2 5/8 TPH Twin through XTR. Sizing roughly based on the 6'3 mid twin but a touch narrower.
Will actually be my first CI. I've ridden exactly one CI - a rented shortboard on a family vacation to Honolulu when I was in college that I promptly snapped in half surfing off of Diamond Head. Whoops.
Also probably my first surf~craft~. I'll have to start practicing my highline pelvic thrusts and paddling with my feet twirling in the air.
A big thanks to @Scott Ando for passing my questions onto the shaper who thought this board would fit exactly what I was looking for and will be coordinating with the shaper at XTR to dial in the finishing.
But really, it was all of Yuris positive reviews that really sold it for me. So grateful to have an influencer creating content at my local in the very waves I surf everyday to give me valuable insight into these boars

Just that Mike Walter thought it would fit my purpose well, and that he thought the design would work well with a twin keel type set up.
I plan to start with the BMT since it sits somewhere between a keel and upright, I think those are the ones glassed onto yours
Mini is a super underrated, below the radar board. Super easy to surf. Never got the praise it deserves.
