had a day of reckoning the other day in the lineup. surf was overhead and good, but i came to the realization that after 4 years, it's not going to get much more than this here. so, unless i'm traveling home to hawaii or portugal, or somewhere where there really is the probability of serious surf, those newly shaped 6'4" and 6'8" roundpins really wouldn't be seeing too much activity. as i just traded 005 for a 6'4" 5-fin bonzer (which seems promising in overhead hollow surf btw), the vacuum in my quiver became the 6'0" - 6'2" range. solution: 4" off of the 6'4", used the tail template on the nose to make a double sided mirror plane. not a lot of rocker left in it, but hopefully the length and extra tail rocker will allow me to compensate for it. thruster with a single concave to slight v in the tail. javier will be on it until i leave, so this one will be seeing its first waves in southern portugal. :D
