They look high and tight too. I mean can we call koolaid the YOLO GOAT or what?
Cue @waxurDyl to post his 'mini-quiver' of Happy's in 20 different sizes.
Crap I didn't mean to disrespect waxy
Was walking out the door last evening when I found a surfboard box in the entryway! Quite the surprise as Dark Arts never let me know the board was finished or shipped. Open the box and found the 6'0 round tail inferno 72 I ordered about 12 weeks ago. Was a bit surprised though... I was expecting a slightly different artwork scheme bc I've seen a few on the rack with real clean white decks but oh well. The thing I'm more bummed about is that the nose is pretty crushed. Probably the worst surfboard pack job I've seen. There was no padding around the nose... just a piece of cardboard that the board punched through. Should I say something / complain?
Board feels pretty good. Definitely looking forward to giving it a go. Loved my 5'10 x 19.25 x 2.65 I72 but it was a bit too small for me so I sold it. This one is 6'0 x 19 1/8 x 2.65.

absolutely say something.
Well, they were considerate enough to include a sun warning sticker.
Nice bord.
Nice bord.
Mine arrived completely crushed. No protection at all. Seeing yours makes me realize that it was not an isolated case.

that seems like a pretty big oversight in an operation that's shipping out boards all over
Yeah I would definitely say something. sh!t happens and I've had boards that were very well packaged and still had dings but expecting your board to arrive with adequate packaging is the least one should expect from any board maker. That's especially true when it's basically the most expensive board on the market. Skimping on packaging is so short-sighted. What is it a few bucks in materials for a $1300+ board?
All they put over the top of the board was this piece of cardboard folded over the nose. Obviously, the nose punched right through.
Cardboard packing and another board damaged at nose and tail areas.

Just sent them an email. Has anyone else said anything to them about this? These are quite bad packaging jobs. Clearly avoidable damage.
oh man, coincidentally, my DA I72's nose broke during my last surf trip! The force I put on it was insignificant during normal surfing. I suspect it had been damaged / repaired prior.
In the end, I'm going to slap some thickened epoxy on there and call it a 5'9 now.

They must be aware that boards are getting damaged as we’re (the erBB) most likely a small percentage of their customer base.
Obviously, they’re not indestructible and when people are paying a premium, they should arrive immaculate.
Varial does a very good packing job. My 5th one should arrive in a week or two. I’ll try to remember to take a couple of unboxing photos. It’s nothing crazy, but it seems to work.
