that hydronaut is glassed heavy too. bulletproof. Guessing that's why it's in the stock rack. I considered it, but couldn't justify #noyolo

If you happen to visit the shop again and don't mind taking a pic (looked for it on the website but not listed/shown), I might follow up with a call to the shop. I've been considering one in this size as a step-up for tropical/winter barrels.

@deforest did you get the glass-on fins that were made for the board?
No. I like to try lots of different fin setups so I did not. RK suggested twin+1. I want to try Firewire fins with Powerdrive rears. I have been LOVING that fin set up as a quad. Then i will also try JKB's recommendation as a thruster with reactor fins.

She's lookin good boys! She wasnt quiet done. She needed to be QC'd and add thermo-vents. I think i'm gonna pick her up tonight or tomorrow morning.

I was a little surprised at how wide the tail is?

Also the nose template is super cool. Not quite as rounded like an Evo but no sharp edges like a Vader. I dig it a lot!

I might be interested in this after you're done with it.

Lookin' good @ReForest ! I like the strigerless look.

Yes, the tail is absolutely supposed to be that wide. It's one of the reasons it grovels so well.
