I bet Randy’s still gonna find a way to make a buck out of it though
just announced on the Smurf Channel

The board is heading to Hawaii in September, I have just been talking to Randy Rarick he's going to pick up the board at Honolulu airport and look after it at his place on the North Shore over the winter, where it will be available to be ridden, so if any of you blokes want to slide a few on it you know where to find it.
I think the crowd factor is not the problem but the coward factor. Who’s going to ride it when it’s big??? It is a beautiful board. Sometimes death traps entice that way.

ive surfed the board and its not that scary, its all the hype from comments like this that had me sh1tting but in reality it wasnt that bad.although it must be said that i didnt ride any decent size, but i did take it out in close to my personal limits.But with regard to big hawaii north shore waves, as i understand it they are waves of consequence no matter what you are on.
oh, there will be plenty willing to give 13’r a go. Imagine being the first one to get the back spat at da pipe. The camera footage will be great too, lit up on google like a christmas tree.
For better or worse, one great contribution to da tribe.
Just find one of Da Boys who thinks a 9’6 is a short board and let him give it a go. There is a big guy at queens with no front teeth I am sure he is dumb enough to surf it.
Pipe of any size with that kind of board length is going to require an early entry.
I’m sure that’s very possible with this particular board…that is…if the board pictured is the board in question.
I’m also positive that any well seasoned,gifted/talented,and w/ an ability to ride a wider variety/types of boards , can ride this board at pipe w/ success.
However,I am also willing to bet a shear from a pipe wave might quickly end this board’s life,for the very same reason that an early entry is required.
I have a very open mind here…
and am wishing for the Best of the Best Situations…TRULY !
I also expect the Worst of the Worst to happen …
…That way…There’s no Suprizes.
Good Luck Gentlemen and Women.
ps. Oh BTW : The saying at the top of my post was from a written sign that hung at the entry way of my ding repair shed, out in front of my big brother’s house in Makaha,early mid 70’s.
