@WarDog I received a phone call from Al on Monday, July 18th at 2:26pm my central time (12:26pm pacific your time) telling me my board was going to ship later Monday afternoon. I received the confirmation email and the FedEx tracking number at 12:52pm today (Tuesday) and of course Microsoft's Outlook put the email in my Hotmail spam folder, but I was on the lookout for it. The Hammer is scheduled for delivery this Friday, July 22nd. The FedEx local distribution center on Jackrabbit Rd told me when it arrives, they will call me to come and pick it up. I'll take pictures of the carton if there are any holes on the carton. Ditto if any area on the carton looks crushed. BTW, your shop really must mummify your shipped boards because the carton is listed at 86 pounds. After I inspect the carton, I'll open it up at the FedEx facility. I already know about the "Possible Concealed Damage Pending Full Inspection" which I will put on the receipt before I open the carton. Now for the fun part of this message. All the pictures of my finished Hammer look great. And I know you know I love that seafoam green color. Love the black pinstripe too. Can't wait to paddle my Hammer wearing my new Hammer t-shirt too I plan on taking her out for a flat water paddling session early Saturday mornihng, first with the one long weed fin and then with the 5 fin setup, with the nubster, to see if she will track straight with both fin configurations. Please tell all of your crew who worked on and helped build my Hammer how much I appreciate their help and expertise. Thanks for all of your help also with posting the many pictures of my Hammer from start to finish in this topic.

If it was me, I'd call the manufacture of the board and ask them if 409 would harm the board. I'd also ask the manufacture what they use or what they would suggest as an alternative for 409.

Nice. Very nice. You caught lots of good waves. I hope I have a day like that. BTW, since you were using a quad fin setup, what is the length and width of your sup?
Thanks for sharing your video.

When I ordered my Hammer 8'11" quad plus 1; which was starting to be built for me on June 8th, I ordered it with one 2.25" nubster fin (plus 5 other fins). I figured, "Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it".
I hope soon to test the nubster out when my Hammer arrives.

And the air temperature is cooler at night than during the day also.

That was some nice nose riding by Jimmy Lewis. Nice waves for nose riding too.

My vote goes to a professional hockey player who has to have strength to play against opponents with the same skills as he has. Endurance because they are always basically moving. Speed when on both offense and defense. Mobility to play on a sheet of ice while being able to stop and turn on a dime. Flexibility to control himself and the puck while keeping a defender at bay. Functionality to move with such grace and make it look so easily balancing on a thin blade of steel.

You have an absolutely little gem of a place to sup surf. The waves at this place seem to always perfect.
BTW, love the "laying down action" at the end of the video. You really know how to surf in a totally relaxed mood. Thanks for sharing this video.

Here in Texas, we have a lake similar to your Black River. The place is Caddo Lake and it is located in northeast East Texas right next to the Louisiana State line. http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/caddo-lakeCaddo Lake has bald cypress tree growing out of the lake's water along other vegetation. Caddo is basically a combination of sloughs, bayous and ponds which interconnect with one another. The biggest predator animal in Caddo Lake are alligators.

From looking at the photo, that guy is extremely lucky. If that foil would have struck him 2" lower, the foil would have hit his left eye.

Excellent short instructional video. Also, thanks for the typed comments within the video. I didn't know about foot placement above the sidebiters.

I'm on this serious side of this topic.
Two years ago, I started to have abdominal pain, but only at night. I went to my gastroenterologist and he decided to do an upper and lower giu exam on me. The lower (colonoscopy) found two pre-cancerous polyps in the colon which were removed. But the upper gui exam found a large polyp growing in my intestine at the opening of the colon. This could not be removed by my gastro doctor.
My gastro man sent me to a soft tissue surgeon and two weeks later on a very early Friday morning, I underwent intestinal surgery to remove the polyp. The removed polyp was 3" long and if it wouldn't have been removed, in a short period of time, it was going to cause a life threatening intestinal blockage. A colonoscopy alone would never had found this polyp. This is why my gastro man wanted to do an upper exam.So I went in on Friday morning for inpatient surgery and was released from the hospital on Monday at noon. BTW, the upper exam is done by snaking a camera through the mouth and down the throat all the way to the colon.
I'm alive today because my gastro man did "both" an upper and lower giu. This coming October I'm again going in for an upper and lower giu exam just to make sure my entire intestinal tract isn't hiding any nasties in there. I don't mind the prep work for the procedure anymore because basically "catching things early and staying alive always beat catching things too late and winding up dead".

That video ad sure reminded me of the beach scene in the movie, "Jaws".
