6'2". Yes it was nice of them. But they really had no choice I think. A shame as I loved the previous board. What was most frustrating though was I did not have that board to take to Indo twice or WA this last week. So I have been without a fav shortie for a while now which has been frustrating as all hell to be honest. Never mind all is forgiven now. If I had known it was going to take so long I would have made other arrangements.


What problem did you have with the potato ted?
Construction flaw?

I think like any manufacturing process a few of the thousands they sell are not as good as the others. Maybe I was just unlucky and got one that had escaped quality control. No complaints though - they handled it like pros and sent me away happy.

to be honest chrispy - with the 666's dw ing and stuff, I just don't have the energy or time or the right time to have too many shortboards theses days.


why I haven't been on that platypus since that last big swell which is frustrating
