Has there been a new DC that hasn't ended up in Stimmo's garage?

not trying to help stimo out there but this board is a custom ordered by stimmo himself.
Basically by ordering this board Stimmo is allowing DC to test some options for any riders DC might help as he let us use the board for quite some time before shipping it to him.
Without guys like stimmo, Travis would still scratch his head wondering if this board's options were good ideas as DC does'nt have the budget to try every technical options at hand.
I wish every shaper would have some trusting stimos around them taking some risks when ordering boards because at the end of the day it does finance a big part of the R&D needed to make the boards evolve faster.
So it is only justice if sometimes he ends up having very good boards in his garage.
We love you stimo

Very well said Al....totally agree!!

on top of that....he's a weapon!

Hope I haven't opened up a can of worms , didn't know it was a new top secret design. But stimo whoever you are should be happy with it judging by the head nodding going on by those I seen test riding it

As a friend of Stimo's and also a person who ordered a custom board from DC myself (with the generous help of Stimo) I was merely having a bit of fun with a friend. It's quite unfortunate that comments like these get taken out of context.

Everyone in the SUP community here in WA appreciates the access we get to DC boards through Stimo who is always willing to lend out a board or two (or several) for others to try. We also appreciate his generosity in helping out however he can in the community. I am more than grateful and very thankful that I do call him a good friend and have a beauty of a board from DC that I am completely in love with.

As a note - when my board made it's way to Perth it also passed through Stimo's garage (photo below of my board *in* Stimo's garage)... they all seem to, it works and it's why we can have a good laugh about it.

Nice looking board paddlejac.

I was referring to the home gym and the monster beer fridge

...but that teaser from the DC skunkworks...

Wow, the new DC looks great, any conversation on how it went?

Any word on the release dates of the new DC/NSP?
