post it up on the wall next to his shaping jerseyJust not sure if I should get ride of it.
Tomo personally placed the fin boxes on this one and hand shaped the bottom himself. It’s the very 1st Vader v2 to be made at Dark Arts. It’s such a sick board, but the footage and my feelings indicate it’s a little too thick. I have to lean hard to get it on rail.
just start carbo loading and the boar will workJust not sure if I should get ride of it.

GromsYou’d be surprised. There are lots of surfers in the 25-26L range.
True-thats the upper end for my 18yr old daughterYou’d be surprised. There are lots of surfers in the 25-26L range.
I think he might be right.Maybe tomo is correct in saying these boards should one liter less than your normal HPSB volume….
How would he know?I think he might be right.
Like, I think there's a really good chance.
Sometimes the guy who shapes the boards knows this stuff.How would he know?
Bro, that is a bummer. I know how excited you were. The DA cost almost makes it so you need to be pretty damn confident the boar is gonna work before you pull the trigger. Like same boar / model and dims you already like. I'll probably replace my banged-up, repaired fin-boxes PU/PE Gremlin with one when it's time.I actually wanted to order a 5’3 with 5’2 width and thickness and Tomo said no. Then I told him I wanted to go 5’2 dims but narrower (18 1/2) and he said no. Haha. He said “nose height mate, nose height”. I finally shut my mouth and went with the stock 5’2.
After reading the comments I’m gonna give it some time. Maybe I’ll put it away and surf it later? idk. The golf club analogy was a good one. Sorry for high jacking the thread but I needed to talk this through. The wife, kids and dog were of no help.
