Thoughts on new board

You need to read what BassMon said to me earlier... funny how some offhand back and forth on a social website can slap sense into you when you need it. Sharp kid, and just being reminded of those things completely changed my outlook today. Yeah, I just spent a big chunk of dough I really don’t have, on TWO borts but you know what? That feeling and the stoke DOESNT change because of outside shit - it helps us THROUGH that outside shit. You are a smart and capable dude and will land on your feet - you know it. Be PSYCHED about that bad Larry!!

 

Yeah I’m hoping! Went and did some paddling and floating around on the Rawson as prep, plus I’m just frothing for anyfrikkenwave and being on the water is cool too. Funny the looks you get from tourons as you walk by with bort under arm and they see no real waves. One couple even asked me if I knew something they didn’t so I told them the ferry comes by every 20 minutes and sends a head high wave to shore ... they watched for the ferry for about an hour

 

Thanks Jakl if that was for me, I’m up in northern New England just south of Boston so all we have is green seaweed and white sharks. No worries

 

I’m praying Jak, right with you on that. The stringer and heavy deck glass were add ons for free from Roberts himself because I called to add a 30 rack for the buoys in the shop and he was super stoked and thought it was a cool gesture. It was one floated by a few people right here in dis tread.
Im lucky enough to have a 4/3 BodyGlove that keeps me warm with 3mil hoodie and 5mil bootie all winter long til the water gets into the 30’s. Then I drag out the Red Cell 5/4. But with a suit on I probably go 230-235 and wide from sternum up so I end up looking like TRex jamming my hands into my ribs. I’ll surf a 3/2 until water gets into 50’s and be warm.
But you know what’s frikken awesome Jaks?? This time last year we were wearing wetsuits during the first storm - this time I’ll still be in shorts and rash guard! Water is still in the low 70’s so that Kosmik thing could be happening for me and this bort - perfect conditions to test run and learn a new sled.

 

So I’m doing prep and checking on Brooke’s repairs and decided to rack the Rawson ... and thats when it truly hit me: I’m completely going hard right with my surfing hahaha
The coke bottle green board has been my “performance” bort - and holy smokes that is a big drop in size. The Roberts is only a tad bigger and thicker so I’m stoked

 

In transit, delivery on 9/11 by end of day! Cutting it close buoys and goyles lol
