    Christian Fletcher vs Shaun Tomson

    Shaun and I live in the same neighborhood, one of my sons went to school with his youngest, and I know him well through CI. Seen him burn at Rincon, (like many do). He's definitely got a rep with many of taking too many waves. Contrast the local wave in our 'hood he calls "a gentleman's wave."...

    The Bali CI factory and CI Bali retail shops are run/owned by Onboard Australia. The same Mona Vale based crew that has built CI's in Australia since the early 1990s.

    Calling the Glasser....

    All the small glass shops and even most of the larger glass shops don't have a dedicated "customer service" person. That means in order to answer your request, someone is putting their tools down. And not working on your or your buddy's board. The people at glass shops are piece rate, meaning...

    Can we talk about Channel Islands?

    Just like any "journalist" they spin for interest. To clarify, the BQ sells very well in USA. Top 3. We limited the sales data provided to top 6 boards in each region, meaning Bobby Quad didn't make top in all regions, but still came ahead of many other models, so not "worst selling" Not...

    Stab in the dark 2023

    CI Pro with relaxed nose and tail rocker, talking less that 1/8" on both = CI 2.Pro. With surfing at this level that curve change does make a big difference. How that 1/8" less curve is placed in the rocker is determined by a year's worth of constant tour level feedback. Meaning it's not just...
