Hey Dane just wanted to say first that your surfing is insane and although I live in hawaii hopefully I can make it out Lowers for the boost contest to see all you guys surfing in person.  I had a couple of questions for you if you have time.   Up to now how have you enjoyed the dream tour in terms of the whole experience outside of surfing?  Like going to all these sick spots and surfing pretty unreal waves for the most part?  Second, kinda technical question i guess so if it's too lame no need for response but anyways, what are the differences that you feel between your MBM's of the past and your Protons that you currently ride?  I have the MBM and love it and been thinkning about getting the Proton so just wanted to see what you had to say about both boards.  THanks in advance dane and give em hell at Lowers.
