Should be a great surfer. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished board in all it's glory.

anon, when are you going to make a foil board?  You shred on your little potato chip boards, I'll bet you would do great on a foil, and DoHo seems like it would be a great place to foil.

I have not had the opportunity to foil yet but I will probably give it a try sometime in the future.  Doho would be a good place to foil on less crowded days when the tide is high and the waves are just rolling in and not breaking.

I agree man. Also, I'm stunned that you're riding these things so narrow. Crazy man.

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing you build this. How much do you weigh?

Ok........ that is actually a pretty reasonable groveler surf board for me. Blow it up to 7-8 x 29 x 4 and I'd be super stoked for SUP. Nice.

It should be ready any day now.  Can't wait to get it out there.  I am a little over 160lb (73kg).

160 pounds and you're riding only 72 liters - whoa!

I still think you should host a demo day lol. The next time you are thinning your quiver we should all hit a beach near you and see who can paddle these things.

Can't wait to see this one.

I actually plan to use it a for prone surfing as well, as a long board substitute.    I've been prone surfing my 7-0 x 24 Greedy Beaver SUP quite a bit and like it better than my other long boards and mini mals in the slow Doho waves.

We'll see how it goes :-)   I think that with the wider tail it should only be a little less stable than my current daily driver (7-0 x 24 x 75L).

Looks sweet!
I have to try your boards next fall at DoHo.
Let us know how it works?

Man, that thing looks fun! Have you surfed it yet? Is the stringer Divinycell?

What do you think about that Hexatraction stuff? That stuff was on a used board I bought and it was way too slippery for me.

Use that GoPro mount and show us some vids!

I have been surfing it a couple of weeks now.  It paddles pretty well for a small board and is probably the closest I'll get to a short board surfing feel on a SUP.  It is fast and snappy and carves turns effortlessly. 

The stringer is 3/4" HD 6# PU.    I do not think I will use it on my future boards as it adds weight.  The blank was 1lb heavier than my 75L GB stringerless blank.  The completed board weighs 10.8lbs which is 1lb heavier than desired (I like 10lb or less).   

I really like Hexatraction and use it on all my SUPs.

Ha, the Chum has nothing to worry about, it's an awesome board. 

The mount is actually for my Trace (http://www.traceup.com/).

Did you get some good waves on the last swell?
How the new board?

For sure.  September and October were both very good.  I have really been enjoying the Baked Potato.  How about you?   

How the new board?

My new board should be ready soon.   I'll post full details on it once I pick it up.   I wanted something narrower and thinner that would be fun for both SUP and prone.  Here's the CAD render ...

HAhahaahha, that logo is amazing. Great work man. Now you’ve actually hit below size of board that I prone paddle. Unbelievable.

We have had some really good waves this fall, with periods of to much wind and wrong direction in between. That’s what you get on the EC. Patience is a virtue 😬 I’ll be back out west at the end on the month 🤙🏼

Thanks.  I had BoardLams.com print up some rice paper lams for this build.  I am looking forward to see how they turn out.

All right, look forward to seeing you out there :-)

It takes someone with a very refined and unique sense of humor to create a custom board that resembles a soft top.  I love it!

You are right on!  The 7-0 Odysea Log was the inspiration for the Tic Tac.  I always have a blast when I take it out.  I wanted something just like it but with a touch more volume (for SUP), less flex, real fins and performance rocker, rails and bottom contours.  The Tic Tac is all about fun :-)
