congratulations, the meat cleaver seems like it will cover a relatively large range.

As far as extreme grovelers, just be careful not to go too big on those potato-type boards. They're more difficult to size right than a standard HP shortboard...imo, if in doubt, err on the next size down. On the other hand, if you ever consider the mush machine, I would err on the next size up because it's thinner, narrower and has more HP rails than most potato-type boards.

Also, the couch potato is glassed significantly thicker than other boards in the Lost line, which makes them heavy and take longer to paddle up on a plane. In hindsight, I would buy the CP in EPS/epoxy.

The other thing you might consider is how much acclimation it's going to take between riding your cleaver and your groveler. From my exp, the more extreme the dims between boards, the longer the acclimation. It took me practically a whole sesh just to get used to my couch potato every time I pulled it out (and vice-verse).

 

My fault, I read it wrong.
