IMO if your going to copy a board from another shaper its never going to be as good unless the original sharper is sh-t.
From a meter away the fake and original may look similar in outline but its the things you can't see that make the difference.
Edges foils chimes rocker must work together.Unless you have the real board on hand or a copy of the file I can't see the fake
being close to the original.A shaper with many years experience could get it close but nothing is going to beat the orginal.

Here's the Lighthouse yesterday afternoon. Lovely little part of the world. Lighthouse is at the end of one of the nicest streets in Australia... Federal Street, Aireys Inley.

Plus my single fin at Bells this morning... Got 2 really high quality ones through the Bowl!




Bells Single











General funny...

Got a call on Wednesday, not long after catching the best wave I have ever caught... On the other end of the line, a guy called Greg asked me, "what fin do you want in it,... 10 or 11 inch?". I said "10 will be heaps thanks". Greg said, "what colour, clear, blue, smoke, red, black, white or orange?". I said... wait for it... "Blue thanks!".

I want obct to tell us a tale about being the first one to put a fin in the box!
