Lots of cabrono for this winter. 5´5 Dad Bod, 5´10 Inferno72
Snagged a non-YOLO off OfferUp. Hyped to give it a go when we start getting waves.
(Bonus front pad that I didn't put on, so no shame when I yardsale my one air attempt per session)

The front pad means you're an air guy now though, so you have no excuse to blow it!
Original owner lost the How to Be an Air Guy instructional DVD that came with it, so I've got nothing to go off of.
If my knees don't lock up in the cold, I might actually be able to stick a few with that section. But I'd have to sell the board to fund a trip to Switzerland.
Quite the conundrum.
Pfffttt..... Dude can't even do a backflip without double grabbing.
When will these things be available for backyards? I envision myself sitting watching my grandchildren launch full rotations in their back yard pools bitching how I had to endure flat spells, crowds and all that sh#t. Sure grandpa!!
Picked up a DA Inferno 72 yesterday. Pretty stocked on it. 5'10" x 19 x 2.5
Feels perfect
Edit: used, btw

New DA/SMTH Triplane hull?
The concave on that board turned into a giant bubble. Could be fixed using infusion and vacuum. Expensive mistake.
I've never had an all black board. (never will) I did have one though that had black resin rail bands about 5 inches wide all the way around. It was amazing how much heat those black rails could generate just biking from my house to the beach or sitting on the sand for 5 minutes in direct sun on a July day.
Repair guy up here posted a couple different DA's that had rail impact which ended up cracking the whole width of the board. Weird. Also couple fully buckled DA Ghosts. I think the carbon just makes them more pressure dent resistant not necessarily stronger. Mine has cracked super easily after a couple bumps against hard objects. The glass is brittle. Compare this to my Hess boards glassed with epoxy bio resin, which i've banged on all kinds of sh!t and will not crack.

Turned out to be good mistake but only black board I got was rails only with jade green deck and bottom. Board is pu/epoxy 6/4 6 s glass color was sprayed. When I picked her up black rails was more like purple or what I dubbed purple haze and Malcom was so worried I would be pissed. Nope turned out really kool and no worries about sun
