Wow. If those boards can make Clay Marzo look that bad, imagine how unwatchable they can make an average surfer

@waxfoot come off it, 150%+ of the price for 50% of the effort. Marketing bullshlt. It’s ok to say something a girl is involved in is lame af. Like, make your money girl, but

I'm totally down with nominative determinism!
14 perfect examples of nominative determinism in action
Sometimes people choose the career they wish to pursue, other times a person’s career path feels more pre-determined. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of nominative determinism, it’s the theory that people tend to gravitate towards jobs that fit their names. A simple example would be...

So… xcoco is just album with a tweak on dims and automatic resin abstracts?
tbh, I expected more from a marketing guy. this is as creative as the surf industry gets - (re)branding with ghost shapers.
I noticed the registered address is the same as album. sounds like mailbox income for coco. can’t blame her for selling her Hawaiian royalty status.

I'm pretty sure all Marzos clips he's on a thruster
These North Shore brahs blow so hard. Is the non-stop cringe just for the camera or do they act that way in real life?
JJF and Nate come across well. Even Koa seems semi-real, but the rest are just puffed up chest cringe machines.
On topic: Still yet to try an Album...

A wore a helmet a few times at a central coast spot where people wear helmets. It kind of fucked my neck up. The lip of the helmet would catch on the water and yank my head around. That rugby lid Koa is wearing seems like a better alternative.
Been looking into getting a Bom Dia. Reached out to Varial And DA. Dark Arts about $100 dollars more but both over $1200. Selling a couple boards to fund it so doesnt hurt as much but damn. Anybody have input comparing the same board in DA compared to Varial? Never had a Varial but heard good things. Have had a couple DA, Superchunk in DA that is magic. Thanks for any help.
I'd go varial just for the closed cell/ no water aspect. I was gonna pull the trigger on another xtr album before the price jump, no way I can do $1400+ for a plain stringered with color xtr.
I have never tried Carbon + Varial (only DA), but as far as I know, they have some challenges in sourcing the blanks and delays. I finally went for DA + PU.
I think Carbon + Varial should be a winning combination because of the closed cell.
I have DA Superchunk also, magic mushbuster. IMO DA is great for gravelors as they are so responsive and there’s a lightweight “on top of the water” planing feel to it.
My Varial carbon Insanity has a different feel. Not quite as light as DA; surfs closer to PU than DA. I think Aruka described it as “damper” feel, which sounds funny but I get what he means. I’ve had it in HH+ and it felt great. Really stocked on that construction. If cost were no issue, it would be my preferred build for SoCal DD /decent-good wave boar (close 2nd would be standard varial).
So, consider the waves you want the BD for. Personally, if the waves OH, I’d want PU/PE. But I think Duffy likes his ghost in DA.
YMMV
Is it misogyny to suggest Coco rename brand Short Period….Swell?
She should definitely replace Matt and let you do the marketing.
Maybe in the spirit of the brand, we should call them beauty marks instead of pizza stains.
If you’re a lady no way you’d want a long period.
