Check out our first attempt at in-water filming.  The waves started out reasonably good this day but quickly devolved into wind chop that did not want to break, let alone stay open once it did.  Anyway, the process was more difficult than imagined but more rewarding than expected once the footage came back.  There were actually a couple of real gems:

Just thinking about how much I love my 'Rastafari' board.  The actual brand name is a 'Rusty Piranha,' the idea being that the board is a modern day, radicalized fish.  Hence, the 'Piranha' label as opposed to the generic term fish.

Here's a detailed description from Rusty:

Our proven, extremely popular, everyday modern fish. Among other things, traditional fish have a long, straight, rail line relative to their overall length and a lot of area behind the foot. The tail area is stepped down with 3 sets of wings. This help to make the board quicker from rail to rail and tighten the turns.

Specs:
Rocker, bottom and thickness are similar to a performance shortboard like the Burnout. Has a full nose with the wide point nudged in front of centre. The triple wings step a fairly wide tail down to about a 5 1/2" inch split.

Fins:
All boards fitted with FCS plugs and come with FCS fins

My board actually has orange and green stripes swirled on the deck, which is why I refer to the board as the 'Rastafari.'  Underneath are three super pretty blue FCS fins.

Until I get around to posting a pic of the Rastafari, I'll leave here a generic pic from Rusty:

OK - finally managed to get that pic of the actual board.  Here it is:
