I've got about three weeks and I'll load you up with 2 newies.

Sounds good Mac . I'm always keen to see them. I'll never forget that custom Evo 11 that I never got to ride . Pics don't do them justice . Was looking at some nice Taks in a store yesterday as well. Never get sick of boards

I've sold a couple of boards quickly that did not work for me... but if I like the board and it's working for me in the conditions I surf most I don't tend to seek something better...

I just love surfboards...if I see something that looks interesting I want to know what it goes like so I go and build one...I also like to have specific boards for certain types...boards for Vicco tend to have a smidge more volume where as boards I take to indo I dial it down a bit and add more rocker

i dont recall pro surfers changing boards as much years ago.
the only reason they change them these days because how thin they are and they get them for free.
they know what they want.
i don't think it was like that years ago….was it

Not too many of them get them for free these days. Yes a few of them have brands that pay them to ride them, lots get a few free ones here and there but the vast majority are still buying them. Obviously they get them at a nice reduced rate. One of the reasons Chilli started putting those funny bits of glass on the front of his boards - as he was sick of making them for people who then put other peoples sponsor details on them - and he got no credit.

can somebody please tell then why they can take their board to their local spot
surf it have a great time tell us all on sea breeze about how good the board went
how they got shacked roundhouse cutties smashing lips floaties laybacks ect ect
then sell that board.

what happened
Did some fairies appeared in the garage one night and change the shape or length of your board
maybe they also moved the local reef or rocks

From what I have seen most fellas boards come pretty blank and they add their sticker collections when they get them. I imagine if you are MF then they come all DHD'ed up though.

They get boards from all sorts of dudes and add the stickers later...sometimes they pay sometimes they forget...
