^ no boards ever ride the same when it was born.

@skip11’s flight attendant’s stiffness was notably different after 3 days.
But I think I’ll let him elaborate on this more.

All I’m saying is that we don’t really need to change boards as often as we do. It’s just in our consumerist culture that we do, and there’s nothing wrong with that. =D

So very true for many sports… Skill and ability are most important but it is always nice to play with new toys.
As someone who also plays a lot of golf it means I have a couple of expensive addictions!

Yeap, it’s noticably different. I was ready to sell it after day 1. But decided to give it a chance again and it’s better. It’s still really stiff, but I feel like if I got like 10 days on it I can make it feel like the one I demoed last spring.

FYI I ended up cutting and epoxying the topsheet chip.
I realized due to the sidewalls being pushed it woudln’t be able to be clamped nicely so it was a small cut, file, clean and epoxy.

Ptexed the gouges on the agent rocker, but I think I may be using the wrong ptex that may be meant for a gun, as this is 11mm, and it took a while to burn. Meh… still works.

Can’t really use a gun as it’s not deep enough for it.
