    I'm getting ready to take a month long vacation. I need it. Been working 80 hour weeks!! Made tons though. Was wanting to catch real waves not none of these Carolina beach Kure beach Wrightsville beach OBX waves. So I was thinking either California to surf mavericks or Hawaii to hit up jaws. What board should I buy. My last one
    that i ordered a 6’0″ round pin 18 3/8″ x 2 1/4″ tapered at the rail with a little more volume, 2 3/8″ at the center for the biggest Bells days.

    I also have a 6’1″ x 19 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ Flyer swallow tail
    Along with a laird Hamilton paddleboard.



    What board should I get money is not an issue.

    Sell your boards. Buy a wavejet.

    I hear the RS Hot Karl board is great at Mavericks. Since you just made all that money, you should be able to afford the down payment.

    Why not give Jeff Clark himself a call, and have him shape you a custom. If it works for Grant Washburn, it'll work for you.

    If you're not riding one of Roy's boards you're not really surfing... Worth every penny

    Hell, why not just purchase Maverick's and have someone surf it for you?

    You are funny like Kenny Powers. It's great how you make sure you misspell a word or two or put in a contradictory statement in all your posts. But the above is just pure unadulterated sarcasm, I love it.

    If money is not an object and since you have been working so much and totally deserve a vacation, I would go with getting a custom board. You really can't go wrong and this way your board will be customized to you and only you. Good luck and enjoy your vacation!

    Seems like the best choice.

    yeah, man custom is the way to go...make sure they write "D-Bag" real big on the deck, so everybody knows who you are.

    And looks like your hitting it at the right time, water's warming up, you'll be able to paddle out at Maverick's in board shorts...I paddled out there last year and got a couple 53 footers, brahhh!

    Man that's the perfect setup for Cortes Bank. You should hit that spot as well while you're out west. With that board, you could easily paddle out to Cortes too.

    Wow. Best stuff on here since the original shredmachine thread appeared.

    In keeping with the spirit of this thread: you'll choose a great shaper for your rhino chaser, of that there's no doubt; just be sure to train hard; and that means bench-offs, bench-offs, bench-offs.

    You could probably contact your cuz, in between 23' sets, for bench-off 'tips.'
