Do you get the c4 through Lost and just hope it takes less than 6 months? Or did you find a way straight through that Drew guy?

Couldn't synch at all with the Red Tiger. Biggest disappointment of this year.
CI. 2.Pro is still a demanding piece of foam while the Xanadu Stratus and CC OP3 proved to be less extreme and much more enjoyable and playful.

Some of you have a problem. It’s ok, this is a safe space, but admitting it is supposedly helpful.
“But stingcheese, I don’t have a problem”
“You have 20 boards between 5’6 and 6’0”

You’re in the wrong place, bro. dis is Enablers Anonymous
I haven't actually custom ordered a Drew build before. The C4 PJHP was a used rack find, the Black Dart Bean Bag and the brief C3 RV were craigslist finds, and the Black Dart PJ looked like a declined custom I swooped off the rack.
But one of my homeboys ordered a C4 PJ Pro last fall in like October or so from Catalyst Smellbourne Biatch and he got it in like sex weeks or some turbo sh!t. Nowhere close to sex months.
5’4 rnf96 lightspeed - just picked it up and haven’t had a chance to try it yet
5’6 white tiger - fun board in head and below
5’9 pyzalien 2 - great board and a keeper in the quiver. Was surprised on the wave range of this board. Just goes in anything.
6’8 midevil - ridden twice. I think I just enjoy shortboard/grovelers more than mids. Should probably spend more time on this one, but I never grab it.
7’4 moe - hated it

And you quit hoarding all the Chillis
5’6” Album Twinsman in Varial. I sold this since it needed better waves than my local serves up on the regular and didn’t like the underarm feel.
5’6.5” Stamps Fuse in Varial. Wished I got it in epoxy and not carbon since it dents if a soft breeze blows by.
5’6” Stamps Kai-zen epoxy Varial. My favorite twinny ever.
5’7” Haydenshapes Psychedelic Germ in Futureflex. I tried to rekindle my love affair from 13 years ago with the one I sold in Nicaragua, but the sex isn’t as good as I remember. She may be on the chopping block in the New Year.
5’8 CI NB2 in poly Varial. Long standing favorite for doing jumps. Holding onto it for some PSSC seshs in 2024.
5’8 Stamps Flare in poly Varial. My DD in everything from thigh to HH+. Magic bort and one of my all time faves other than numerous Calvani’s I had from 96’ - 03’.
6’ Pyzel Ghost in poly. Desert island bort if that desert island served up overhead barrels on the regular. I can get into pretty tall waves if they’re ledging. Feels like a 6’2” at the tail-end of waves once they’re below HH, which is my only negative comment about the bort. It’s the only bort I use medium fins (MF’s) in.

boardporn on Instagram: "I’m incredibly thankful for another year of surfing and board hoarding! 2023 was an epic year of quiver growth but a tough year of physical health. My hip replacement plus a related setback had me out of the water for over six months in total. I’m still working on getting my strength and mojo back but have been feeling better every session. Each and every one of these 2023 quiver additions has made the difficult times a little bit more manageable. Nothing brightens a day like a new board. Thanks so much to everyone who had a hand in building these and getting them to me over the past year! Can’t wait to keep feeding the obsession in 2024! #surfboard #boardporn #ronsquiver"

How do you utilize this one? I’ve been eyeballing one as a multi purpose/step up add to the quiver.
I propose half of you guys each give me a hand me down that is too beat for you to ride ever again or otherwise just not worthy. Get it to me. I will ride it and report back what it means to me, and maybe pass it along but from my experience when I'm done with a board no one will take it. Your unwanted, unwashed boards are better than my best, and I will not be buying what I really want. Not allowed. I could pay $100-200/board and you all could donate that to a better cause than me or something. Let's figure this out. You all are killing me.
Flare 5’7
CI neckbeard 5’7”
Buzzsaw 5’8
All of these go really well at my local. Can’t decide which works best.
Very weak waves i prefer the flare.
If it’s a hair stronger then the neck.
When is actually a good day of waves for my local, then i prefer the buzzsaw. Tailblock is a narrower than the neckB.

5’8” VS Manta - barely surfed but always fun
5’10” Mandala DA Superchunk - same as above
5’10” Hydrodynamica GMM2 - very fun in playful beachbreak. More rippable than it looks.
6’6” VS Shadow - just traded for, very fun
6’8” Sakal Sabre twin - super versatile, good travel/Mex board
7’2” Mandala Delta V twin - see above, but more cruisey and less rippy.
7’2” VS Hyperglide - loving so far. Paddle and trim beast, loose as a twin/nub.
9’3” VS HPTC 2+1 - old faithful lb, super user friendly in wide range
9’6” Cherry Picker - sold
9’6” Apex - sold
9’5” Neo Classic - only one fun session so far

I use FCSII in all my borts, currently Filipe Toledo large, but have also liked MF larges and KA larges in the Flare.
