I recently sold one of my 5'6" Sweet Potato boards so I could pick up this Machadocado.
I cleaned up the board of wax and the deck pad from the previous owner.
Then I got this Firewire 2+1 deck pad placed on. I kept it under the soft dive weights for several hours to make sure it has a good start in it service life.
Same liters as the Sweet Potato, but 4" longer.
The bottom contours remind me of the Seaside and Beyond - just more extreme.
The tail is really thin on this board - should make things really interesting.
I also cleaned up a Dakine 6'0" thruster board bag, and got the Hayden Shapes Hypto Krypto nicely tucked away in it (no pictures of this).
Then I cleaned up the fill on No.43, did the last of the fine sanding, taped over the track slots and cut the reinforcing carbon tape. I was going to laminate the board today, but decided on cooking dinner instead.
And while cooking dinner, I took the opportunity to put together the Zip Pod I got for the Evolution Cedrus Surf mast.
I'll test it tomorrow morning to see how it feels compared to the regular Foil Drive mast pod.
Working on these projects is pretty darn therapeutic.
