*** The Official 2024 SITD Chloe Edition ***
- Thread starter silentbutdeadly

And yet Justin Ternes from Dark Arts in the podcast just posted on another thread said feedback on boards from average surfers is useless compared to the pros…or words to that effect.
Have you ever seen that guy surf? Has anyone?
Last i heard he didn't surf, at least anymore. Not much surfing in Jamul, where he moved some years back.
He's an amateur shaper who runs a glass shop. A lot of guys who are into making surfboards for people - as in actually into it - value feedback from average surfers because it helps them make boards for average surfers.
Anyhow point is with SITD you could have put another pro surfer with the same boards, sized for their heigh and weight, and they likely would have chosen different finalists.
I had a borst for sale that sat on the racks for months. After they announced the finalists, it sold in days.
It’s awesome that a lesser known shaper made it in. Good for his business too.

Funny wha they said about heat and glassing. Lightest PU I've ever had was a GX shaped in the middle of a heat wave. I remember asking Tim about that.
Interesting what they said about the heat/humidity and resin density.
Lots of DHD's glassed up behind my house, will have to ask glasser about that next time I see him.

1. Borst is probably on the spectrum. I love him more now.
2. DH is being an Aussie. I thought it was funny, because that's how Aussie's are. I appreciated and laughed at it. It wasn't meant as a burn/put-down/disrespect. It was meant more in the vein of brotherhood. I didn't think it was dicked, but obviously it sounds that way at face value.
3. Timmy was awesome. Obviously just beyond stoked to be there, especially after the Italo fiasco.
4. Best BEST answer of the whole thing: "Q: Kolohe, who wins? A: Cole Simler." FVCK YEAH! That made me laugh and smile.
Borst cut for CI for long time.
He's also the builder/owner of the most precise shaping machine on the planet. Very little finish work required.
That's why I thought it was funny his machine broke and he had to handshape the board...and then it made the final.

I don’t think DH’s comment was well received by Borst… AT ALL! He looked pretty heated from that point forward.
Great interview though! Timmy is the man. Such a chill guy.

I heard the half pipe in his backyard was made from his machine. His machine cut each piece or something like that.
I remember he was in a couple of the bones brigade vids back in the day.
I’ve never heard DH not being sarcastic and cutting. I think he’s hilarious.
I enjoyed that stuff. Wish there was more stuff like that.
Talking to Stamps yesterday about it was awesome from another shapers standpoint.

I think talking sh!t is just being honest about your feelings with other people in a playful way. But it did look like DH struck a nerve with Borst though. lol. Hopefully Borst doesn't take it too personal. I don't think DH is the kind of guy that throws out apologies.
Yep, and the frame assembles together without any screws. It's like those balsa wood dinosaur models some of put together as kids, but his uses some dowels at the major stress points. The only screws were for the top sheets. He's a mad scientist.
