Hawaii- Done

Thanks.
It's actually a 4X. Not 4VC. My mistake. Might go check it out if I have time.
I have a 7’0 4x and absolutely love it. That said my suggestion is to contact Wade and have him shape you board. For a world class shaper he is still very down to earth and accessible to mortals. Everything was done on time and perfect.
When Hawaii Asked Tourists to Postpone, Many Listened, and That’s Created New Stresses
Many tourists heeded the calls of Hawaii’s governor to put off trips to the islands. Now, locals are wondering what the coming months will bring.

The 4X is a newer version (about 5 years) of the 4VC cause Wade is getting old. It has a fuller nose and slightly less nose rocker than the 4VC to help with getting into waves but the “business” end of the boars are the same.
The VC stands for vee-concave. It has a double concave blended in a single that blends into a vee off the tail. Like Makoman posted the 4VC is the model the visiting pros order from Wade for North Shore and has won many Triple crown events and clinched many world titles. The Slater Design “Houdini” has the 4VC bottom but Wade designed the foam distribution and outline to Kelly’s preference.

Thanks. I'm going to try and check it out this week. The twin fin rabbit hole was fun but now that winter is coming around I sometimes want to surf just a regular old thruster. A fuller nose and less rocker sounds great for an aging kook like myself.
Plus I cracked both the fin boxes on my DJ twin in 3 months. ugh.

You're right.
Think I'm done with Futures on twins. Actually, just in general. I've pretty much cracked a box on every board. I think the FCS design is probably much better at spreading the force out.
Yep the 4’s are pretty much as white bread as boar models get. Pintail thrusters, although quads are an option. Wade once told me he keeps this design simple, less things to go wrong in serious waves. I was surprised when he offered the 4X. It was the first modification in years. He also can make the 4SG. Which was Sunny’s model. He keeps a lot of foam in the middle of the board but tapers the rails to Sunny’s preferred rail outline. If you ever custom order from Wade I would ask about this.
The only YOLO effect are the waves the boar is designed to be surfed in.

A yolo board for someone. lol
I have a 6’8” WRV by Tommy Moore, glass ons. Double to a single with a slight V through the fins. Board never fails me. Lotta good barrels. Love that setup.

Alright, I went and bought the board on my lunch break and it looks like we have some swell on the way. YOLO
Since I'm on the YOLO train, does anyone have fin recs? I was looking at large FCS carver fins.

The 4 was designed prior to FCS2 fins but Wade is a big fan of L Carver fins and uses them in all his boars except twins. I think the FCS Tokoro signature fin is coming out soon, Wade designed it with input from Seth Moniz. Might be small for you @Muscles it’s going to be ML.

You guys out there tomorrow? I'm surprised how strong this one will be.
Yeah I passed it on the way in to work, going to hit it in the evening. think it's peaking early though...
Stood on the beach at Ehukai for an hour. At the time was wonky, sideshore, cloudy, and rising. Decided not to jump in. Sand NE of the park all gone. SW side sand way outside, causing strong backwash. Ended up going home.
