sorry manny cairo not the same caliber as parmenter

he’s a great shaper but parmy is like guru status.

angry hipster rant in 3, 2, 1...
yeah lame comparison on my part. wasnt implying caro could sub for parmy.

a decade or so ago manny channeled his inner pavel and only shaped for family and friends.

prolly worked until he realized he didnt hsve enough of the later to supprt his sd hipster chit.

Has a $1k mandala. doesn’t know who Manny or Mandala are.

antihipsta flex :roflmao:
Da fuq.

The dude paid 1k for this thing?!?!

I had this longboard and the dude really wanted it so I said okay to the trade.

I was only selling the longboard for 500 bucks. Wasn’t anything special. Just a standard summer time board.

Any carbon fiber board is gonna be >$1,000. How big is that one? Let’s make a deal. LOL
I guess it’s not for everyone, but I really like those types of minisim-inspired shapes. They are fast and responsive- can feel like a snowboard at the short length (5’6 for me).

I think this is the 6’0?

I’m 6’3 and close to 240 so might actually be a good size for me

Well I’m 180, so that size might work for you. IMO, would certainly be worth a try- even just for the novelty of the carbon fiber build. It might surprise you and you may like it!

I’m already hearing June at the earliest in my parts. They threw in the towel for Jan 1st already but not officially announced.

I think a lot of people (managers) don’t want to go back and thats probably why the WFH status quo won’t flip for a while. If their underlings go in, they will have to as well.
I think its the managers who want everybody back in the office. How do you manage, if you can't breathe down their necks.

Then the big bosses notice that everything runs fine without managers

I had a very expensive order disappear with fedex, then suddenly reappear 3 days after it was supposed to be delivered. Fingers crossed for you. Their phone support sucks.
