Just picked up an older L41, eps board- no vent . It’s a bit of a beater with some repaired dings but water tight. Don’t know the volume but it’s : 8’10” x 30” x 4.25” I live in Santa Cruz but we will likely take this board to Lake Tahoe / Sierras a couple of times during summer . Board will not be left in direct sunlight or be exposed to extreme heat. Based on board dimensions and usage ... should I install a vent ?

Last week I was seeking suggestions for my next board. I appreciate all of your feedback and I have decided to go custom with a local shaper as the price is very competitive. I basing the shape based on some of the suggestions given in my previous thread. Thank you! I'm 170 lbs, experienced surfer, been SUPing for about a year. I mostly flatwatwater in the ocean, but I definitely surf my SUP when the surf is in the 2-3ft+ range. So essentially I am looking for an all around board that works well in surf (mostly point break/rock reef waves), but also works very well in flat water (typicalhttp://vernorsurfboards.com/sups.html# paddles for me are 1-2 hours, work out). I tried a laird arrow 10.6 this one was narrow 28 3/4 wide.... Very tippy. So next I demoed this Vernor SS Hamilton. http://vernorsurfboards.com/sups.html#The one I rode was 10.4 x31 x 4.5/8. Quad I really like it, but it's surprisingly similar to the Riviera 10.6 I have. So I am going to go custom based on the Vernor SS hamilton and of course get shaper input. But I would like your thoughts as well to tweak the measurements a little bit, so it's not so "big, slightly dogfish" yet still makes a great all arounder. http://vernorsurfboards.com/sups.html#Essential I am thinking of making it a bit thinner... 4.1/4 or 4 and a bit narrow: maybe 30. Length stays at 10'4. I hope I am not over thinking it! But I know an inch of width and 1/2 in thickness can make a difference. I am hoping that tweaking it won't hamper it's flatwater cruising (glide), while improving the surf factor. Getting a custom board is a great way to support the shapers, though I want to make sure I doing it right! Thank you for your feedback.

Hello online paddle community. I am new here, but I have been paddling for about a year with years of ocean/surf experience. Needing suggestions on next board. Here is some background info.
Weight: 175 Height 5'11" Active in good shape, 39 years old.
When there are waves, I surf. But I have really enjoyed paddling lately when it's flat or small. I paddle regularly, 2-3 times a week. Most paddles are about 90 minutes, 2-3+ miles. But I am definitely catching some 2-3ft. waves along the way. I really enjoy surfing it! Occasionally I will take out my paddle board and just surf it, but usually it's a more touring/surfing. I do like the traditional longboard outline, though I am open to other shapes.
Current Board: Riviera (epoxy) Length: 10'6" Width: 32" Thickness: 4 3/8" Volume: 171.1 Liters
The Riviera appears to have pretty good glide for typical paddles/workouts, flat water. But it seems a little too big, doggish, on the waves.
So essentially I am looking for something that is just as good (or close) for flat water, but will surf a little better. Again, wave size 2-3+, any bigger I take out traditional surfboard.
I am thinking of the Laird Arrow 10 6 or the 10 0. I know they are similar to the specs of the Riviera, but pulled in a couple of inches in width and a little thinner.
I can also get a deal on a custom board. Though not sure of what dimensions, rocker. etc. to consider.
Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated!
