I always thought a round tail flare paired with a vulture is peak socal shreddage (or whatever the kids are saying these days)

PSA: For the Stumps yolo-inclined, Katin shop has some nice looking stoke Scarecrows & SpankPlugs
I haven't been there, but I'd assume based on the stoke dims on Tim's site that it's 6'3" x 20" x 2 9/16" 32L. You could probably confirm by giving Katin a call.
anyone tried Spearfish? looks like a fairly unusual outline with stage rails through the middle and then the tail narrowing a lot from a wide wing. description sounds like a banjo x GX mashup

Stamps Spearfish | Custom Hand shape 6'2" x 20.50 x 2 3/4 (37.7 L) No dings, watertight and ready to be surfed. The SpearFish takes outline cues from the theory applied to the Banjo Fish. It's...

wonder how it differs from a shadow
just borrow my flare so you can order one and join the club

Sounds good. He had the erBB at "based off my Flare"
Just wish it had the SD x Webber Banana rocker tho
Leash broke at a rocky wave and the days of my grinder x are now numbered. I went ahead and just put in an online order to Tim but wanted to hear what you guys think.
So my socal quiver is normally two (or three) boards. A fish, an everyday shortboard, and a stepup.
The problem I've had is the borderline OH-DOH days in socal kinda felt like I was in between boards. B12 would be very solid on the sets, but felt a little soft/squishy on the inbetweeners. Grinder X would work on the inbetweeners but would be redlined on the sets.
Has anyone gotten him to tune the grinder x for slightly better waves? What about replacing the grinder x with the blindspot? I never really had issues with getting the grinder x going in waist high waves, so how much of the bottom end would I lose out by going for the blidnspot?

i have a Blindspot and have owned two Gxs. The BS does not have nearly the same low end as the Gx, IMO. It will have much better lower range than the B12, especially if you have a squash tail BS. But it won’t approach the Gx in that department.
I would get a Blindspot 1 or 2 inches than your Gx and see how it goes. You can always pair that board with a Gx or Flare for more lower range performance if it’s lacking.

I used to DD a blindspot before gx’ing my way down to a flare.
Blindspot at my height with GX 3” under was my sweet spot for some but not too much overlap.

Might try the Rerun for my next bort. It seems to be a mix up of the Gx and Giggle Box. Tim is really into this model and has been surfing it.
There is a zero percent chance that a GX mixed with a GBX would be a bad time.
Without a doubt. Would need to talk to Tim about the rail and foil because I know that I like 2 1/2 on the Gx and Tim’s other shortboards but my Giggle Box and Spark Box are both 2 5/16, which is perfect with the flat deck. Not sure where this one would land.
You guys are riding sh!t u til you wake up and ask for the Sbd rail profile
for a guy named silentbutdeadly you sure talk a lot
