My 5’8 Flare in Varial has the best low end of my similar sized borts: Stamps Fuse, Stamps Kai-Zen Twin, CI NB2 and a Haydenshapes Psychedelic Germ.

How are the rails on the Flare? Full? Performance-y? No shops around here carry them so I don’t have the luxury of fondling one
My Flare’s rails are the fullest of my three Stamps, but it’s the best rocker, foil combination out of those.
When I first threw it under my arm I was worried it was too chonky, but it consistently surprises me that it can do so many things well in everything from sub-waist to OH.
My Fuse and Kai-Zen have more tapered rails, but I often wish they were more like my Flare’s when waves are under CH.
Thanks! I'm going to shoot him an email and see if I can get one going. 5'7 stoke dims are looking

Got my two borts: 5’8 Banana Fish and 5’10 Rerun. Stoked.
digging the new logo.
And that rerun just speaks to me in an easy to ride very functional thruster kind of way

i don't know how else to say this JDJ but I really like the look of your banana
would feel nice to wrap both hands around his banana
really go to town on it, see how much it can handle... and make sure it responds the way you want it to
