Who else has convinced themselves they need a new board during this Covid-19 downtime?

I was just about to go and buy a COVID board, but then on a whim I just decided to go buy some bathroom scales and realised I packed on far too much lard! So I'm half punishing myself, half thinking any board I buy now might feel like sh!t soon (hopefully!)

Had a good chat with the shaper, who will be back in town in 4 weeks' time, and we both set some weight loss goals for then :D

I ended up with a stock 5'7 NB2. Had one surf so far and it felt awesome.
That's another board that's caught my eye - got an alert set up for it when it pops up for sale in my local classifieds.

Nice! Has the move away from NCSD changed your quiver?
Thanks!

Not yet, but I'm moving in that direction. A little bit of extra length is definitely beneficial up here.

In NCSD I would ride a groveler 90% of the time so my quiver was focussed around the low end. Up here, I ride my other boards way more often, but I could definitely use a few more choices in the mid to upper range. This new order will be a step in that direction.
