    Dude, your boardroom set up is legit. And that is a quality stick (what did you pay for it?).

    That board will work in any EC surf HH+ like a dreAm...regardless of skill level.

    I could see that thing in Sucking up and large beach breaks or 6’+ Lani’s.

    You have some work to do to get an orgasm out that...

    Heaps and JayD, thanks for the good words! Im
    Super pumped to ride this thing.. already leashed and waxed ready to go.
    The Bort Room is actually in shambles - been invaded by two 12 yr olds doing “surfing workouts” on that trainer I made, and waxing hers, but thanks for the kudos. And Heaps, I haven’t been able to surf much this summer but I seriously have surfed every one you see, at least once this summer. I built the wall racks to keep them from getting banged around and easy to take off and put back once their squared away.
    I paid $725 with tax, including the fins and a Dakine board bag.

    Im pretty happy with how it’s shaping up in my little bort cave... that Roberts is gonna be like a crown jewel - and if my wife finds it how much money I’ve spent on these things, it’s gonna be my new room lol. I’m glad I ride them all or I’d think I have a problem. But now I need a legit single fin hahaha

    One of the best boards I ever rode was a Pat Rawson. Highly recommend, master craftsman.

    Now the hard part will be me; I’m so dam type A and impatient but this is going to take a bit of work and time to get right. This week we may see some waist high/chest high clean so it’s getting wet no matter what, but I’m gonna bring it to work with me and go paddle around after work even if it’s flat just to get used to it quicker. I know it sounds kooky to most of you but most of you are already way past this stage in your surfing too lol. I may even jump into some of this choppy shit up here today...

    I would wait until you have waves to get her wet. If you take her on her maiden voyage with no waves it could vex the wave gods for impatience and they will be sure to keep the ocean flat for the foreseeable future. Not just for you, but for all of us. We can't have that! Please wait for a properre wave surfing day to take her out. Thank you.

    That board will shred the gnar, and if you don't like it you can easily sell it for more than you paid. Nice acquisition Mr. B!

    Those are the ones I picked for the boart... there were a set of Kelly Slater Bullsey one’s too but these matched some of the graphics. Why? Remember, I may not know if I’m commiting a surf crime here lol.
    And thanks Dogg, it’s kinda how I saw it either way as a nice get. And if it’s above my pay grade then at least someone else will appreciate it.

    you are too funny man. I can't tell if you are pulling our legs with the "buying fins based on graphics" thing but either way you got me chuckling at my desk LOL

    Glad to make you chuckle Bro’
    The boart came with markings on the bottom tail calling for size, angle, etc for fin set up and those were the only ones he had that came close.
    I may experiment with different combos once I get used to how she rides and what’s too loose for me.
