hawaii_boi, my technograin has a very small "spider crack" on the rail from bumbing against another board while driving...nothing serious as of now, but still a concern also, i notice these ity bity micro sized chips in the wood, hoping thats no big deal as well...other than that ive had the board for almost 2 weeks now, and its awesome, im riding a 503 but honestly i think i couldve went 501...paddles very well, very strong on even the smallest ripples, and when the sections rite, the fins release so smoothly, ive been a little sketch going vertical reverse on it, im afraid im going to land on the lip wrong and brake it, but airs are ridiculously easy...hope this helps...MAHALO :D

Megsy, could you help me out with choosing a right size TGBP?? por favor, i am 6'4 170lbs and i stuck between deciding 5.1 or 5.3??? im a good average surfer, but ive never been on a board so short before! im reading that the shorter the better, but im not completely sure how i feel about that due to lack of experience~~ im currently in ecuador, riding nice sized waves on my f1stub mayhem 6.1x18.75x2.32, and when i head back to the states i want something that i can have fun on the small east coast swells?? any suggestions??? also do you know if the techograins come with futures?? gracias familia, God Bless :)

Didn't Taj have extra weight put into some of his boards?
I'm 6ft & 90kgs on a 5'10" dom and while it flies on clean faces i find myself struggling on bumpy days.
I have been wondering if there is a way to add weight on those days ?
