Man those Ras Trent dreads are lame, but how about that Dank Bolts pad FTW!! LOL

I don't care WTF Biolos or any shaper (or god-forbid pro-sarfer) has to say about politics or culture wars. Too bad they all feel compelled enlighten us with they're beliefs on social media when we just want board porn or free surf vid clips.

OK.

But did he get his vaxx?

We need to see his vaxx card.
I would have difficulty in ordering a board from an anti vaxxer. There is only one manufacturer in my region and I recently ordered a replacement for the board I buckled. I happen to know that the shaper is not an anti vaxxer so fortunately not in a conflicted position.

I would have no problem with boards made by religious crafts people, as long as they weren't conspiracy theory nutcases telling me that COVID is a plague sent to punish us. I'm agnostic, as in my belief is that we are not smart enough to know the answer to things such as god. Some people very dear to me are religious and pray, but none of them are anti vaxxers or conspiracy theorists. All run on a very even keel.

These guys were always the most politically progressive shapers IMO

The ability to shape a quality board that works for me is all that matters. Politics, religion, conspiracy theories, vax status are not topics of interest. Let’s talk surf, board design, and when the fvck will it be done.

All I care about from whoever shapes my boards is that they do a good job and also let me in their shop to look around and pretend we're friends when I pick up my boards. If they want to talk on the phone about boards I'm not even ordering like Gary Linden, Wayne Okamoto, or Doc, I'm really happy. I'll still buy more Chillis though, even if I've never talked to or seen Cheal. If I find out my shaper likes those stupid little toy dogs white ladies cary in purses, I'm less likely to order again.

Hank Warner .... He's a few doors over from Skip Frye ~ :shaka:
Franklins and Grants are welcomed at the end of the day ...
Hank can be a grumpy dude. Go next door to Bob Mitsven... Fantastic shaper who can make any style magic boar. One of the nicest guys in the biz, and definitely smart enough not to tell you his politics.
