I’m digging the new board. Waves were marginal but for June on the east coast I’ll take it. Structurally it felt fine, no flex underfoot whatsoever, and felt like a regular stringered poly board. Not a big eps fan so that was something I was worried about by adding the xps stringer. Lower volume for sure but It’s in line with the other trash board and where I want to go in the future. Felt a little sticky on turns due to single concave throughout. Normally I do single under the front foot to double/vee out the tail so it’s just a new feeling, and something ive wanted to try but have been scared to do. Figure this would be a good board to do it on since there really isn’t any loss if I don’t like it, just the cost of the resin and knockoff future boxes. Pumps down the line really well but I feel you don’t get the pivot you do with the vee. But that might change with a center fin swap. I’m excited to try it in larger, punchier surf.
Great thread, love it when a build thread runs all the way to ride report, nice job!
