5. Stab In The Dark with Taj Burrow

Official Review
Kama’aina: I have to say that I’m sorry that I was so negative going into this. Knowing that these boards were not shaped with Taj’s dims or needed volume had me so bummed on the prospect of what this process would be like and what kind of insight I could glean from it. But these first two episodes have been freaking awesome to watch. I don’t care about any of what I thought I did prior. I just want to see and hear more from Taj. What he is feeling and expressing about the boards so far has me thinking about my quiver and my current dimensions in a new way. Super stoked and dreaming up my summer quiver now. The pay wall is more than worth it. Keep up the good work. Mahalo!!!

Official Review
A Dude: Came here to say you seem… happier? Have no idea why that thought crossed my mind, but it did. So, I’m sharing it. Also, was really impressed with the carving 360 and the lil alley oop. Keep up the good content, and surfing.
