Speaking of supply chain issues... Ordered this monstrosity back in April but due to a delayed shipment of blanks from Aussie land, only ended up getting it two days ago. Just in time for the end of the big swell season in Indo :foreheadslap:

Nine foot two of board that I'm scared for the day when I need to use. Woot woot

Bummer, Javier not recommending the build I ordered, said way too flexible. Might be adding carbon, but I hate the way they look. might cancel and go veneral.
Just get the same exact board with a stringer?
I put in info for the same type of order you put in and local pickup (Xtr is maybe a mile away) and it was more than your order price because of tax. Non-local Ftw!

Yeah the Carreras are great. I'm always amazed at how easy it is to make a beautiful turn, even when you're moving 100 mile an hour and the wave is hollow.

9'2 x 20.25 x 3 1/8

I wanted something stupid thick, like 3 3/8 but they said it wouldn't fit in the blank. 3 1/8 was as big as they could go.

Very nice. Not a huge difference between 3 1/8 - 3 3/8 from a volume perspective. But I'm surprised they couldn't even fit 3 1/4 in there which would the minimum standard for a gun of that legnth. Some of the shapers are going thinner and flattening the decks through.
