Tech is amazing. There are folks who really liked the predimpled tech and want at the least the option to use that smooth tech for certain builds.I quite liked the dimpled Coil that I had.
Nothing wrong with the tech in my book.
What don't people like about it?
I had a couple OG pre dimpletech coils and they were epic. Super bombproof and a nice weight. Ordered a custom 3 pack right when they switched to the dimple build. They felt a little too light and not as robust. I busted one in half on my 3rd session. I wasnt overly bummed or anything but I never ordered another one.I quite liked the dimpled Coil that I had.

Was a Coil disciple till my first dimple tech exploded on a duck dive (overhead wave mind you) on my first session. Kirk made it right, but havent gone back.I had a couple OG pre dimpletech coils and they were epic. Super bombproof and a nice weight.

My OG, pre-dimple tech Coil seemed to have better flex than the dimple ones and felt much more lively. That's probably a function of the shape more than the glassing - I ordered the dimple ones to perform in bigger, nastier surf (and they certainly do). The real thing I don't like about the dimpled Coils is they're a massive pain in the ass to strip wax out of to put on a fresh coat or change temperature.I quite liked the dimpled Coil that I had.

Yikes. I too had an issue once, buckled when initiating a floater, however the board laster for a full season before that. It was an ultralight "glass job", the Coil crew sent me another, all I had to cover was shipping.Was a Coil disciple till my first dimple tech exploded on a duck dive (overhead wave mind you) on my first session.

Cant really say OG Coils were flexier, they were stronger but not by a whole lot. Current Coil tech is fantastic IMHO.My OG, pre-dimple tech Coil seemed to have better flex than the dimple ones and felt much more lively.

Was it really 2 weeks? Last one I got it was 4+ months from order until received.Just got one in from Kirk; board looks great.
Deposit to "Board is Ready" took about 2 weeks. And overall cost was less than the 2 week rush up-charge from Varial. ...Just saying.
Deposit was sent on 8/12. Email that said "Your board is ready" was 8/25. So, no, it wasn't 2 weeks. It was 13 days.Was it really 2 weeks? Last one I got it was 4+ months from order until received.
makes sense, im always being discriminated against for being fat. how long from first email/msg to board?Deposit was sent on 8/12. Email that said "Your board is ready" was 8/25. So, no, it wasn't 2 weeks. It was 13 days.
I was quoted "4 weeks or so." Kirk probably just liked my order more than yours.
