Who else has convinced themselves they need a new board during this Covid-19 downtime?

I'm convinced that I need a new surfboard always.
Those sanded to the bone rails make me sad for the board and you. Doesn't look pretty in front of the fin boxes either

The surprising thing is it's both rails. I would think if you burn through that much on one side you would take it nice and easy on the other side. Guess not.
And, regarding the area around the finboxes - they feel as if they weren't sanded to completion. At the showroom I thought it was just some residual dust/grit, but nah. It's literally rough around the boxes, as well as areas of the channel running down the middle.
Dunno if I should just spray with acrylic and not worry about it?

Shaper sent an email apologizing and said to bring it by the showroom and they will get it right.
Plus side, the board looks really fun, downside is I can't ride it.

Also this guy's comment on this post is hilarious. It was posted 17 hours ago, but just showed up in my feed tonight with that comment showing below it. It feels too coincidental for me. Not buying fishbeard! I have a farking headache!
"It does the weirdest fukcing sh!t" Yeah, that's pretty apparent from the video they marketed it with. Even the pros surfed like ass on it. Salsa looked good on it though.
I have read about the commenter, he built the Indies Explorer and has lived in the Ments since the 80s if that's relevant.

More pics pleaseAn $860 impulse order got me rails like this:
Somehow didn't feel it when I picked up the board and no lights in the showroom. Going to have to contact the shaper.
I saw you wanted something like that but wasn't exactly how you wanted - you want a shot at an angle or straight from the side? show me an exampleWheres the side shot !
Showing fin area + channels
I'm so intrigued by the fishbeard.
My friend has one and loves it. Another person I talked to hates his. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground.
