    Dims are different from the Taj. Volume seems higher than I'd expect at that size so I'm think the nose and tail dims are a little fuller and the overall foil a little more generous.
    Purely speculation though.

    Perhaps a user friendly Taj?

    Or a Taj CBD that had good feedback.
    5.10 Futura - What else do I need?
    5.5 Baked Potato - Well ok, I need this.
    5.11 El Fuego - Oh ok, just one more.

    Mediocre surfer, ie; typical.

    * XM Clear Grip as a wax alternative.

    It's the board that pros order tweaked versions of. Guys like Shane Dorian probably Timmy too. The rocker sounds the same as the Taj but I think the shape is slightly tweaked.

    I hope this makes it to the CBD!

    nahh aurfalien, that's not the case.

    Taj's board is out. We no longer sell that board.

    BUT from Taj's board came a lot of tweaks, a board for this pro athlete, a board for that one... in fact this one is based more on the dims of the boards that Shane Dorian has ordered from us. The dim specs are comparable but the foam distribution is a good bit different, especially for the elite surfer. There is a little more volume in the nose and tail than on Taj and a touch thicker....

    thanks chris...so now what...the profile, or replace my beloved 6'2 x 18 3/4 flexy...always thought a bit more tail rocker in the flexy would of been insane so maybe this will tick that box...i might leave this decision with our guru....lets see what ends up under my feet....
