XTR

Tomo made Curren a skin board/surfboard. It looks like they are revisiting the design making a new one.
Dan said he was trying to help Curren out because he saw that he was gluing foam onto a skim board so he made him a little sumpin sumpin
I left the old one with XTR, so can't weigh them to compare. The original 5'6 was just slightly heavier than my 5'8 Varial NB2, but the NB2 only has three FCSII plugs and the AP had/has five. The weight difference is pretty minor between the two XTR's. I'd say similar to running G10 fins as opposed to Aircore fins.
Not sure if this was a question for me or not, but if it is; yes regular AM large set with the smaller center.

Surprisingly, this is the first board I've preferred the AM's. I know they're a widely liked fin and I've tried them in most of my boards (I've always had a set going back to the OG FCS twin plug days), but they haven't been my choice for a particular board until now.
Here it is...
Looks fun. I wonder what fins hes using. The bottom is completel flat like a skim board. I think there might be a very slight concave.

If Curren reads erBB, then it’s gotta be AMs, right? They apparently work in everything! LOL
AM Large fronts with reactor small thruster rear.
AM Large fronts with performer medium quad rears.
That's been my standard for years.

Maybe the S-wings...he's been riding those tripped out fins for a while on his other concoctions.
Wouldn't say that, personally they're not a preferred set. In most hpsb I like a more neutral set, futures freestone, fcs performer etc. The AM's go good for me in frontside points and stubbier boards with wider tails, usually no like on pulled in round tails and backside, feel that I can't get as tight off the bottom and into the lip.
So I'm starting to get a little worried about the glassing on my Driver 2.0
After riding the board for less than three weeks ( I was out of town over the last few weeks), my leash is slowly eating into my tail (the flap part, I know better than having too long of a leash string). The glass on my tail is cracking and feels like it'll reach the foam soon. If I just keep leaving it hanging there, has anyone else ran into a similar problem? I feel so lame hassling Javier, but it's starting to be a little concerning...
I had my board glassed in the 8.0 schedule (not team 8.0)

That doesn't sound right (unless your local is Teahupo'o and you're bailing your board a lot on 6'+ days). I'd shoot them over a photo or two and I'm sure they'll take care of you.
