Come back in 2026 for the answer.

You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Did you remove the pad before you surfed it?
It's a mile too far forward.

I know you said you would, but I don't know if you did.

Yeah, took it off first thing.

I'm not a fan of pads at all. Prefer the full wax on boards.

Why a speed egg over this? Serious question.

I’ve felt a few up at Rhino, they are nice, no doubt.

This is a semi-gun shape and the reality is I don't ride the waves it's designed for.

Have a Mini Merk in the board rack (thanks Loof) that I like and my beloved channel bottom (best ever board status) that Cranky felt up. But I like the look of a speed egg in maybe a 6'8" or 7'0" size or maybe an Octafish in the 6'4" range.

I like those dims.
that board would get plenty of go outs here.

I'd keep that Octafish around your height or an inch over.
6'4" is too big unless you are a giant.

Those speed eggs feel amazing I think they have a few in your dims in the racks in shop there.
