You're not wrong but realistically Pyzel is a more experienced and accomplished shaper so why is Album charging uhh 7% more for a clear board?vanrysss said:Let's not act like you have to buy one of Matt's boards with a bunch of resin swirls. A stock clear board runs $750, $55 more than a stock clear Pyzel. That's really not that much of a difference.
I'm more inclined to buy a Pyzel or one of the other shapers who have world champs under their experience list if I'm spending that kind of money.vanrysss said:Let's not act like you have to buy one of Matt's boards with a bunch of resin swirls.

More likely to have a Pyzel finished by a ghost than an Album though.Muscles said:I'm more inclined to buy a Pyzel or one of the other shapers who have world champs under their experience list if I'm spending that kind of money.vanrysss said:Let's not act like you have to buy one of Matt's boards with a bunch of resin swirls.

On the flip side of that, while I'm happy for a shaper to have top-level (or world champ) pros on their boards,Muscles said:I'm more inclined to buy a Pyzel or one of the other shapers who have world champs under their experience list if I'm spending that kind of money.vanrysss said:Let's not act like you have to buy one of Matt's boards with a bunch of resin swirls.

I'd say 1994 was start of the rebirth with Tom Curren's Bawa session on the Peterson Fireball fish, then things went crazy four years later in 1998 when Lost's 5'5" x 19 1/4" video came out.Greg Griffin said:2004 was the beginning of the rebirth of the fish design
At the T&C factory I told the owner Fishes were going to be big !
He replied like many others - They don't work
I pulled up the video of a young Daniel Tompson riding his Pavel fish ripping
That was the beginning of fish production at T&C
Back then not many people selling boards on Ebay. Only vintage and brand new hand shapes. Now it's all pop outs and softies.laidback said:Surfboards on ebay... :grin2:
I'm sure his shaping is better at this point
