This will probably get me banned but I'm actually stoked. Some sort of issue with the resin but other than that it's in sweet condition.

again, firewire using old tech and touting it as new. hipster patina has been used for a long long time. here's an example

Instant Patina

A while back I said that while prepping my shaped blanks for glass, I had the idea to paint them with black tea. About a quart of hot water per box of Lipton, Sit overnight and squeeze the bags, Pour it through a paint filter, then brush it on the deck and let it dry overnight. Repeat on the...

Two recent Yolos -

5'3" CC Ocean Racer in Varial Foam for $500 - it stated "used" but it was unridden and made for the man himself, CC. I have always wanted one. Probably my best purchasing score to date. Super fun board, with more hold and performance than anticipated. Easy to surf the inside or outside, and handles waves with more shape. A perfect board to have in the quiver for summer. Though the waves have been pretty good as of late.

5' 10" Freewing - I was dismissive of this board when it came out, especially with the arrival of the BomDia happening at the same time. With my recent appreciation of thrusters, I was curious of the Freewing, knowing it has Modtwin DNA in it. The Modtwin is a favorite of mine. There is much more going on with the Freewing than expected in a good way. It is a shortboard, but different. Relative to a shortboard, volume placement is more forward and maintains a bit more width. Under the arm feels really good, while also feeling in the lower volume realm raising a little concern until I got it in the water. It has good float and catches waves easily. I could have gone smaller, but it feels good starting point. I am curious to see where this board goes....this may have been a sleeper board.

@claw87 In Australia that staining was common (something to do with the heat and the resin they used or whatever) and Firewire were replacing them with new boards. Take some pics and email them and say, look at what happened to my board.

It was the comment about leash plug placement, for me.

Thanks mate, but I got a feeling that the guy I got it from has gotten a replacement already. Don't think it would have been basically free otherwise

All the ones I know about Firewire asked for the stained board back. My mate bought 3 of them over time for cheap due to the staining and had them swapped for new boards. I might have done it as well once. Now if I see anyone selling them with the stains I message them and tell them to contact Firewire and they are always stoked because they get a new board out of it.

That would be epic if the stained boards were like golden tickets and you got to go to Firewire and Kelly was waiting for you there in a purple top hat welcoming you with all the lil Reforests running around singing...

Happened to a friends board and firewire let him pick out whatever he wanted from the same retailer and keep the brown one. They also let him grab a pad too. Their margins allow them to be the only board brand to do this, but still thought it was cool of them.

for those looking: 15% off JT Dad Bod model with DADBOD15 on Dark Arts' website. I'd partake if I hadn't already snagged a 5'9 a few months ago.
