    yeah ride it before you analyze whether or not your stick is long/wide/thick enough. wow that sounds pretty x rated but i am indeed referring to your board. is it foam or epoxy?

    yeah ive been ridding it for about a month or 2, i think its foam, cause ive allready had to get it repaired like twice, i think its a good board, its seem less durable than my previous board, but overall it rides very good.

    well after you have fun riding it then you need to ask yourself what makes you have more fun? speed? maneuverability? versatility? then you can start shaping a board in your mind and have a better picture of what specific kind of a board you really want. :D

    dude, if it feels good, ride it. dont worry about thickness, concave, whatever; enjoy the ride.

    That's all good for now, but those are things you are going to have to consider eventually if you want your surfing to progress. You would also need to take those things into account to find a board that might be even better.

    I dunno brah I would be down for a bodacious cosmic sesh right bout low tide but I have some severe lameage factors that may prevent this shred meet from occuring, If I can make it out after It won't be about 5, and I'm not sure if the barrellzz are gonna be doin it around then, Maybe before though, around 12-2 though bro, or there might even be a possibility of some gnarlyness in the morning too if the shorebreak decides to do it's thing... I'll give you a ring ring tommorow, hopefully I'll clock in some shred sesh barrellzz time through out the day reguardless

    dude sounds rad. I too have several lameage factors that are gonna prevent a pre- noon shred sesh. hopefully the sb will gnar up and episize. I hope you get some bangin rides brah. tommorow might be good for a low-tide, post practice rip.
    have a cosmic one. peace.

    A post practice rip shred would be pretty bodacious what with it staying light till like
    7:50ish I probably wouldn't be able to get there till 7 though and if low tides at four I'm not sure about the barrellzz
