Just got back from a week on Tavarua. Wifey surfed her 6'10" board, but three other women there were on shorter boards (and another 3 on longer boards). The competitor in her was pissed.
Stopped by CI just to window-shop but not get anything. We all know that's a fool's game.
Wifey ended up YOLO'ing a 6'5" Flyer from the blem-rack. STOCKED

2. The biggest/best day at Cloudbreak on the Burch:
A couple of better quality pics coming but likely never to be posted.

Dick Van Straalen has now hung up the planer so when a fellow DVS afficienado offered to sell me Dick's personal EPS 10'er I said YOLO!
Fin comes with it but duck is not included.

YOLO alert review on this HPSB.
I've had a few chances to ride this board now, and I think I’m getting the hang of it. Sharp Eye classifies it as a HPSB for average waves, which I can see, but I’d say that unless an HPSB is your go-to surfboard, this board might be better considered as a good-wave HPSB.
When I last rode the HT 2.5, I found it required a lot of input to get it moving. Especially on takeoff, it didn’t have that initial speed; I had to pump pretty aggressively to get going. I'm a front-footed surfer, so I like boards that are fast off the line and have built-in speed.
I have similar feelings about this board, but I also noticed that once it gets moving and into the curl, it really picks up speed, drive, and feels easy to surf. I started adjusting my approach by taking a bit more time on the takeoff, keeping the board closer to the pocket. This worked well, and suddenly the board started to click with me much better and I wouldn't have to pump so hard to get the board going.
When you surf the board the way it’s meant to be surfed, it’s awesome! But I’m not sure it’s the best HPSB for me. I feel like I have to adjust my surfing style to make it work. Compared with other HPSBs I like, such as the Two Happy and I72, I don’t need to make those adjustments. They're similar in performance but don't seem to require me to change my surfing style as much.
All in all, this is a fantastic HPSB, but I'd only strongly recommend it as a good-wave board, and mainly for surfers who identify as back-footed, love surfing an HPSB, and mostly stick to thrusters. If that doesn’t sound like you, you'd prefer the I72.
I've used it with the AM2 and the Felipe Toledo FCS 2 fins. I think with the medium entry rocker and lower tail rocker the FT fins seem to work a little bit better. I use the AM2 in my synergy which has more continuous curve.

What size and construction? Toledo's are accelerators right? I'd give a more pivoty fin a try. And try different builds too.
They are all PC and size Large. Are you talking about different fin construction? I plan on trying the AM2 performance glass this year. Was stoked to see FCS release those. I don't like anything more pivoty (reactor template) in shortboard unless they are step downs.
Yeah yeah, pretty sweet that they released the PG ones. Wanna try those too.
I get ya. I dunno man, different board changes it all, always worth to try totally different fins. I would at least some performers on that sick sled, those are so good.
