It's starting to sound like a 2nd board as opposed to an only board for me. I'm 80kg and live hours from the coast ... so I tend to head out to ride on the good forecasts. My 12m and 8m Toro's get the most action. Last time out I rode the 8m all day long in upper 20's gusting into the low 30's. I've...

I also have a TT-174 but have not ridden it since getting the 142. I just do downwinders when it is light.
How about "won't snap like a production board" ???
I've seen way too many customs snapped under or near the bindings. This is something I can't afford. Any snapped WT's? If not, what separates the Underground WT construction from other customs?
