Can I trade that beer in for a protein shake?...alcoholic beverages are not my thing

Gorgeous board!!!...but doesn't that seems like like a lot of extra work for such a small return? ...the deck recess is pretty shallow .

BTW...What was the final verdict on the FX Pro? So much chatter about it before it's release last year then things died down pretty fast.
Did it not live up to its expectations? There seemed to be very high hopes for it as an all water board...where did it fail and what if anything has Mark done to rectify its shortcomings for 2017?
There seemed to be a few here and on the Zone that purchased one when they first came out then turned around and sold it in short order.
Was it too little to late? Did the all-water Maliko, Allstar, Sidewinder and Blackfish designs leap past it before it ever hit the market? Inquiring minds want to know....those that have paddled it or against it...what's the real story?
