Thinking about getting a locally made board in Los Angeles and I ride twins and quads. Who's making the best boards of those styles in Los Angeles? Anyone had experience with Critters Toy Company?

Can’t go wrong with Anderson or Oak Foils. Both run a tight ship and make great boards.Thinking about getting a locally made board in Los Angeles and I ride twins and quads. Who's making the best boards of those styles in Los Angeles? Anyone had experience with Critters Toy Company?
Andy rips as well which I always think is a plus in a shaper. He got a lot of guys around here to try his Cosmo model based on his surfing at Haggerty’s the last several winters.No experience with Critters
I do have experience with Andy P

Excellent service and quality. User friendly quad grover
Yeah somehow I was directed their way on IG. Some models speak to me. Prices look pretty good.Critter's IG is straight fire
got a little bit of boutique hipster vibe
but some of the "models" look dope
I remember Critters being one of those brands that was all over IG with good looking sprays/tints at inexpensive prices a few years ago (reminded me of a non asym-centric Album). I'm more of a purist and appreciate someone that can handshape a board well, having been a shaping room rat since my early teens. I still like watching the craft when I peek in on local builders. While I know someone can design a great riding board on the computer without knowing how to operate a planer, I personally don't appreciate the designs as much.Yeah somehow I was directed their way on IG.

Agreed, I think the new ones are from Malixi. I don't know much about them though. He also has some of Andy Prunauer's shapes. Let's be real, he has some of everyone's shapes. I think he'll need to build an addition to his garage for all of his boards. I still need to take him up on his offer to let me try one of his Ryan Burch asyms.Whoever @waxurDyl is getting boards from. They look really good.
I have a Cosmo. Number 1 quad grovel board . On top of being an excellent performing craft the glassing is A+. Strong and lightAndy rips as well which I always think is a plus in a shaper.

These look interesting.Agreed, I think the new ones are from Malixi.
I had 1 really bad experience with Anderson. Had him copy a snapped board. It came out nothing like the original. 2 inches longer, 1/8" thicker, and missing double flyer wings.Can’t go wrong with Anderson or Oak Foils. Both run a tight ship and make great boards.
