How many surfs before you ditch a board?

Reforest - good on ya for putting video of yourself out there. You've definitely improved.
Having said that, I think the board looks too boaty for you - a thruster setup will help that

Flex tail design, powerdrive fins, his mats, his wing foils for his mini planes, his foils for foil boards…
His drongo fish design too.
I’ve heard stories from Tomo about him trying crazy stuff with magnets and levitating boards and stuff too.
That is cat lady stuff - magnets and crystals and all that.
None of that is his design work- all borrowed off others, mostly George Greenough.
They were whispers in the dark.
He actually took his mat into the courtroom in an effort to defend the assault charges- that was brilliant.
Unfortunately backfired on him, when he tried to tell the magistrate he could not turn the mat.

One could say it was a collaboration. My understanding is that Greenough came up with the single-fin rutter looking powerdrive fin. But it's Mark that made them into a thruster setup for shortboards. Greenough was a knee boarder so the surf designs came from Mark.
I believe Mark and Tomo created the powerdrive keel fin together (although im sure Mark would take all the credit for that one too).
My understanding is that Mark and Greenough were great pals but some money issues got in the way and some camera equipment was invovled and boom... the relationship ended. But I think Mark is a pretty legit legend in Lennox, right?
Does OB have a pier and if so, are some of its pilings in need of a surfboard nailed to them?
I'll just say there are a range of views on Carcass, and leave it at that.

Timestamp 2:01 when Chris asks about Tomo's Dad and experimentation with levitating boards, etc.
@ReForest
Did the board pressure ding on the deck easily? Talked to a guy yesterday who bought one and said the deck was full of pressure dents after the first surf.
Thought it was interesting. My DA Plasmic dented but my DA Twinsman doesn’t. Plasmic was shaped, sent and surfed right away. My Twinsman sat around for “a couple months” before I bought it and then another couple weeks before I surfed it.
Maybe DA needs some curing time…
