He’s been making all kinds of fun sh!t for years. Glassing issues are probably for getting big fast. You guys are making it more than it is. He doesn’t give a sh!t? Lol

The freestone model looks kinda forced to me. Like Jack wanted to make a stubby thruster (to promote his fins) and Matt wanted to make it avant.
If I was on the marketing team, I’d find and old dude who still rips and put him on the team. Archy? Rat boy?

They aren't.
He's still mostly using the same glass shop.
Additionally Waterman's Guild, who does an excellent product from what I've heard.
When QC issues start popping up and good glassers leave, the shapers that want to make a quality product move their accounts.

I don't think twins will drop off like when Keel fish dropped off. I see way more twins around these days than the height of the keel fish era, so market is there. Today's twins are way better than 80s twins or keel twins. Don't @ me Gregg.
No.
Shapers take their accounts to other glassers if QC goes downhill at a glass shop.
they already use 3 different glassers: Watermans, Loner (next door to them), Lights Out (Oside).
Do they call it Lights Out because the boards look like they were done during a rolling blackout?
yeah, it was funny when someone made that joke a few pages back too.
I also still think naming their groveler version of the Disorder asym model a "Disaster" is asking for it. LOL

Update on my 5'11 punksanity xtr 8.0
Holy titas this thing is fun...
Waves- lonnnnnng left tropical point. Not as walled as it normally is (weird full moon tide)-- but consistent chest-overhead waves with some pacific power. Fast.
Another lonnnng left point--same conditions but a bit slower wave. Lots of crowd at both.
Boar- paddles almost as good as my 6'5 ledge. Gets in super early and I can compete with just about anyone on getting waves-- other than the 15 yo local rippers that are like speedboats paddling around.
Hates an unwalled wave but if there's any bit of wall this thing flies. Lots of inherent speed built in, but this is one of the looser boards I've ridden with Christensen uprights in. Surprisingly I feel like it wants to go vertical on turns and stay in the pocket-- but i can send it down the line with one big pump, but do want to see if my geminis will give it a bit more drive.
Hoping to ride the ledge tomorrow for a comparison assuming the swell steps up. The Ledge is stiffer for sure and has a narrower tail but has a butt load more drive due to the rail line.
The punksanity feels exactly like my ledge squished down with a wider/not as bladey tail.
Will post pics and video's later with better signal
