Yep another great looking board Slack, lovin the look of the bamboo decks.

Damn I shouldn't have got my last board made so strong, I can't justify another board yet unless I snap it, looks like I am gunna have to start jumping it.

Thanks for the go on your new board the other day Allan, very nice and so light and loose compared to mine.

Hey Tighty, I thought you had all bases coverd with your board collection, seldom have I seen a man with more toys..

I checked the board you had your current favorite copied from, its the flatest surf board I have ever seen, its clear that its unbeatable in speed / up wind and not so loose.
The Rad man pro you have, would be an alternative on strong wind days or when you just do down winders.

- Stone Surf
- Katana
- Dave Lewy

All doing nice looking shapes.

Custom pros:

- It's a custom
- Support a local business
- Shaper/rider relationship etc

Custom cons:

- maybe re-sale vs big brands?

The only Pro to getting a shelf board is maybe the re-sale as mentioned, but also the convenience.

As local shapers, I recommend Col or Dave (Katana) for great knowledge, friendly and reliable service.

i love the black thongs and black socks combo there hosh. stylin....

It's the lens. I'm using a 9-18mm panny on a 4/3 Olympus. The pics from the back are taken about 6 inches from the fins. That's how I make my fishing pics look better than they actually are.
