Sheet! I must have got mixed up in the car adds or something. Weird.
I would have searched Craigslist website all day looking for that. Thank you!
The board is posted for $700. I think that is reasonable?
In hindsight, I think spending $1,400 on a board is well worth it when you love the shape, and you want that shape in a tech that is gonna last years!
The Vader V2 is a new model and it was a gamble getting it. I think I was over-frothing and got sold on it prematurely. Idk. We'll see if anyone is interested in it and go from there. Maybe I'll surf it on a good day, like @JDJ suggested and see how I feel about it.

Oooof. Yeah. Not gonna work for me. Would be so tempted if it had like 4-5 more liters of volume.
Someone will be very stoked on that if it sells.
If it doesn't, don't stress it. Don't lowball yourself. Price is as low as you should go.
You've got an amazing board you can try again in some time if it doesn't sell. Just pack it away carefully for now and mentally let it go. Try it again in 6 months. If it doesn't work then, then do get rid of it!

One day in the future you will rue the day you sold that board. It's one of the first ones made? It's not going to yellow or lose its pop. When your metabolism slows down you will likely gain a little weight and that board will be perfect. Keep it and sell something else if you need the $s.
should be able to get $700 from it 6 months from now. why not surf it in the meantime thru south swell season?
edit: the $700 loss you're taking isn't from the (very normal) amount of pressure dents on the deck. it's coming from you "driving it off the lot" from the Dark Arts factory. Take it off Craigslist and go surf it brahh

Can you put up a photo of the qd2 4” rears on top/bottom of the endorfin quad rears for template comparison?
curious how different they are and which futures set is the closest.
not surprised the p6 fronts were nearly identical.
I sold my Dark Arts Ghost for $750 three hours after posting it. It would have sold faster but the guy drove 2 hours to come get it.
PS: please buy a 5’7 or 5’8 DA Vader. I’ll be eagerly awaiting your craigslist ad for it.
Go left field and try it with your Webber flex fins and your S wings. Depth of fins in the water and the dark arts = potential magic.
too late its already in his head that its a dog
I completely agree. That’s what makes us sick….and me way more than others, lol! We don’t play this game to come out on top. This is just one that will hurt more than others. Once you think a board is a dog, there’s rarely any going back. Take what you get from it and buy whatever FireWire is peddling and you’ll be feeling like gold again. Just be happy you haven’t lost more times than I have!
Who's big ole baby is this one?

5’10” Hydrodynamica Simmons for Sale in El Cajon, CA - OfferUp
Used (normal wear), This thing flies. And gets into waves really easy. I liked it as a straight thruster but I’m a sure some big twins and a trailer would be fun too. I found a narrower stance helpful. It will teach you a lot about your surfing! I just have way too many boards and need to make...

hahaha. I know you rode some Firewire's back in the day. I remember.I completely agree. That’s what makes us sick….and me way more than others, lol! We don’t play this game to come out on top.

For whatever reason though, a Firewire has rarely let me down. But I'm not through with Dark Arts at all. Just need to be more careful on the next one. I'm gonna pick a shape that I love. Unless I find a new job at UPS or USPS or something... then I'll just buy whatever I want
