Looks awesome! #stoked
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Your new board is beautiful!  I’m really glad, and kind of surprised, that it wasn’t damaged, based on the condition of the box.  What a great board.
I think Wetstuff has one like it.

Really cool graphics, too.  Is yours stock?  How much was shipping?

Yes, it is "stock", not custom. The shipping was "free".  BP paid for the shipping. And there is a board bag that comes with the board and it was "free" too.

I'll be adding four more pictures of the board bag in my next reply to anyone who is following this topic thread.

Thought I would add four more pictures of the free board bag that came with my Duke sup. I must say, the board bag is really nice. There are 2 carrying "D" rings with shoulder strap. Reflective material to keep the board inside the bag cool although it wouldn't keep my board cool if it was inside the bag do to the extreme feel like heat index (106 degrees F).

On the front side of the bag, there is a velcro slot in the middle of the board so one can reach in and grab their sup grip handle and carry the board that way if they want. On the back side of the back, there is a single zippered slot for a single fin to stay attached to the board with the board inside the bag. And there is a shoulder strap too.

The board is well made, really looks like a custom board. The deck pad is soft and has an arch bar and a kick pad. Vent plug is inside the BP Sup Grip handle. And there are two vent plugs on the blue colored side for ventilation when the sup is in the bag.

The pictures are large so I'll post two pictures in this message and two more in another message.

Thought I would add something to clarify about the invoice above.

The Gerry Lopez fin set, they normally sell online for around $140. But according to the invoice with the $25 credit, Blue Planet sells them for around ($128.50). So $128.50 minus $25.00 is ($103.50).

Cool, Winger.   I like a guy like Robert who continuously reinvests in his business.  I can easily see evolution in the board bag...  Occasionally, nice guys win. 

Spirit, My board is the wounded-warrior version of Winger's board. It's a little wider for us that appear to be wandering around shell-shocked. ...' well named the 'Multi-Tasker'.

@ Wetstuff

A lot of companies tell you how good their customer service is and it really isn't good. If you take another look at the invoice, since I didn't want the 5 plastic fins that come with the Duke, I got the discount when I bought the Gerry Lopez fins.

But, when I opened up all the wrapped packages, I got my 5 Gerry Lopez performance fins........and wait for it.........there was another wrapped package with.........wait for it again----------5 plastic fins.

Since I wasn't supposed to have the 5 plastic fins, I called Blue Planet yesterday (Sunday) at 3:00 pm their time. I talked with Lucas and told him about the plastic fins I was "not" supposed to receive. Since I was not supposed to have the plastic fins, I told Lucas I would send the 5 plastic fins back to Blue Planet.

Lucas thanked me for my honesty and told me I am an honest guy and he appreciated my honesty. Lucas then told me to "keep" the 5 plastic fins. And the 5 plastic fins are below in the picture.

I just came back from taking my Duke on a flat water paddle on the largest lake in our subdivision. I'll make another topic thread for that probably in the Sessions forum. But I thought I would give another picture for the lurkers on this site. The picture below is "after" my paddle.

Hi NightWing,
Thank you for the detailed play by play, I was shocked to see the outer carton destroyed but glad to hear that there was no damage to the board.  I'm looking forward to your ride reports.
