Got It

Finally my new 6' 0" is ready to go. Just got back from WT's place. My 6' 9" was finished, too, but I didn't have the money to get both today. So, of course, I took the smaller one because my other 6' 0" was discarded several days ago--I had to dump it because it was dead--and I don’t have another high-performance shortboard to ride.

Let me fill you in. For the previous several days, I've been riding a friend's 6' 1" that was shaped by Yoshi. Apparently, he's one of WT's ghosties, and the board worked well for me, so I took it along when I went to pick up my board so that WT could examine it to get a better idea of what works for me. Why I thought it would be a good idea to do so is that it's so different from my 6' 0" Sadoy, which was the basis for my new 6' 0" WT.

WT said the Yoshi was similar to the K3. So, I'm going to see how this new 6' 0" performs, and then decide if the pending order I have in now should be a K3 or should simply be a clone of this new one. Are you with me?

I'm babbling, and that's because I'm excited to use my new board. I just put the deck pad on and will be heading to the beach real soon.
