I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but the blue high density stringer from XTR feels really good. I also liked normal, stringered construction but with lighter glass, C.

That's because heat is XTR's worst enemy. An XTR would have a much higher chance of delaming with a dark color. Not to say they won't do it if you really want it........it's just risky. Any color at all on their boards is a fairly new phenomenon (within the last few years).Thanks, yeah that’s where I noticed there weren’t any dark charcoal or black boards.
Thanks for finding and posting that one. The OfferUp one’s carbon stripes look purplish. Maybe if I say dark purple, they’ll magically disappear.Here's a grey one I saw for sale locally. Not bad

Also, For the SL-C, I think Shey was referring to the blue stripe Stringerless build with some carbon down the mid of the deck. It's not on their menu, and this was a stock board, but I think it's popular for Japan, and Tomo used to get his personal XTRs like that. At 175-180 lbs, I've never had an issue with buckling... although all my XTRs are 5'5-5'9. I like the way this looks better than the red stripe on the SL-CK recommended for my weight. I have 2 stringered Tomos from Havoc, and I wish they were stringerless. I miss that liveliness.
Apologies for repeating this from previous post.

I concur. I like both of these a lot.I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but the blue high density stringer from XTR feels really good. I also liked normal, stringered construction but with lighter glass, C.
I found 8.0 to be a little too heavy and stiff for my liking. Ordered 8.0 by mistake. Next Two orders of pyzel ghosts of different length I made sure it was 8.C. It’s still pretty durable and feels almost like a puare you happy with the the durability for those of you who have it in the 8.c? I'm debating on what to get for my new driver 2.0.
My last Pyzel ghost with 8.0 was glassed a little too heavy and stiff, but I ended up snapping the board in half, so I'm not sure if i'm making a wise decision by going with the 8.c this time..
I've always gotten 8.C. Happy with durability and feel. They hold up a lot better than any of my PU boards. Never tried the 8.0.are you happy with the the durability for those of you who have it in the 8.c? I'm debating on what to get for my new driver 2.0.

gotcha, thank you!Not sure about the 8.0 glassing schedule but I definitely could be describing 8.0
The PC#1 Gremlin I have is 8.C and it is very light. Very durable but not indestructible.The PC#3 Shadow I just ordered in 8.0. I don't think the #1/#2/#3 parallel carbon distinction appears on their website anywhere, it's just less/more stiff depending on weight/waves.@ehiunno the PC is 8.c?
I stopped by XTR this weekend to drop off a board for repair and chatted for a while with Javier, Shey and Jerry. Javier pulled out that board you were talking about. It was pretty white (looked like EPS) and had an arrow carbon on top with a full carbon on bottom down the middle of the board. The board looked super clean. Javier said he was experimenting with that construction and liked it. It looked very similar to your custom Nano from AUS (bright white with the carbon placed in the same areas).Ask for the construction that Javier has been riding around town. It’s stringerless carbon but not parallel. Maybe that’s what Shey mentioned.
So it had the same arrow strips on the deck as my blue Evo, but full length carbon strips down the center of the bottom? interesting.It was pretty white (looked like EPS) and had an arrow carbon on top with a full carbon on bottom down the middle of the board. The board looked super clean.
Parallel carbon looks a little funky. The placement needs to be dead on, or it can mess with your brain.So it had the same arrow strips on the deck as my blue Evo, but full length carbon strips down the center of the bottom? interesting.
Yeah, I don't love the look of the parallel carbon stripes.
