How'd it go? Nice green duo. BTW which one is the other one?
Two best boards I’ve ever had.

WS for shoulder high and up. Upper limit is whatever o can catch.

The other one is original Pod. Waist to head high. Same dims - 1/2 inch wider.

I don’t really ride them. I’m a bit too big for them at this point and in a crowd it’s hard to compete for waves.

Getting myself in top shape this next 6 months just so I can ride those boards.

Interesting that you had one exclusively thruster and the other a quad.
Good thing about painted boards is that they don't get yellow with the years. Supposing you've had them for years.

Got them right before pandemic shut downs.

Back in 2010 i had OTR versions of these (same dims). The Pod was a thruster and the WS was a 5 fin option.

I tried a friend’s Pod with a quad setup (KS 2.1 - same as what came with the WS) and liked thruster better. The Pod is a HPSB disguised as a fish. It’s NOT a fish.

I rode my WS a few times as a thruster and just liked in better as a quad. Custom orders reflect those preferences.
