What a sexy shape. A new board and a surf trip to break it in, how cool is that!

I think you will have a lot of fun playing with different fins. Definitely try it out as a quad. I've got a 9x28, similar shape that goes best with that set up.

Thanks. This is my first non-quad SUP setup and on the smaller stuff, the 2 + 1 felt good.  But ya, I have the option to run it as a quad and I think on bigger waves, a quad will be the way to go.  In general, with the wider tails we end up with on SUP, I lean towards quads.

Can't wait to see some LB vids.

Ya, me too!  We really missed the boat on bringing out our gopros on this year's trip.  It's too bad--we had some really fun days.  My buddy did pull out his drone for the last session on the last morning before his froth factor got too high and he joined us out in the lineup.  It was a super cool remote sandbar.  Nobody around for miles.  He got 14 minutes of footage and managed to capture two wipeouts (man I wish I didn't bobble that take off!).  I love the perspective the drone gives though.  Makes a simple paddle out look great.  I made a fun little edit from it:

Short answer: vanity

Not at all..... I'd call it a keen appreciation for fine art.
Your board is beautiful.... makes sense to keep it that way!

Makes me wonder...... hummmmmm, I may suggest that Rail Saver make a full length deckpad....
one that applies from your stomp pad, to the nose.... with more aggressive texture from standing area backward.

So many beautiful boards out there that deserve to be seen, not covered up!

Nice re-mix... thanks I liked that  ;D
How do you grab pieces like that without having the raw footage?
I'd like to do that, without having to slog through all the raw footage to grab clips I have already used.


Your drone video is fun.... nice to see more of the paddling and surroundings.

I agree--it'd be great if RS came out with a full length deck pad.  The Hex was a bit of pain to install. Not hard, just took time (following their video and using water did help). I'd love to try the Wax Mat too--sounds like it is more rubbery and less abrasiveness than Hex or Versa. But ya, for pure function, FCS dimple still gets my vote (and on all my boards accept this new all-white one, I've liked the look of it too). I can see why so many are using Hex on the nose of their boards.  Seems like the perfect application for it.

If I ever re-use my own clips and don't want to sift through the raw footage, I try to use the original file of the rendered video.  But if I do need to pull something off of YouTube--including poaching videos of you or Bill ::) --I use the website keepvid.com.

Thanks... I have sooo much footage that trying to relocate favorite clips is a pain.... many times I can't remember what session they were from.
I'll look into the poaching app.... then i can poach my own content  :) it will be faster
