How do these look

If you're like me, when you get to the beach you forget all about surfing and start bronzing.
I had a 5'7" quadfish in this construction that was shaped for the shop I used to work at. Thing was absolutely bulletproof and very light, but at the time I felt like it was kind of rigid/stiff and didn't really like surfing the board in your typical Gulf Coast windslop. I probably should have held onto it for longer, but I ended up selling it. The dude who bought it was stoked on it and I'd be down to try another board in this tech, probably one of the stubbier variety. If the right Lost shape came up used, I'd jump on one.
I mean it's not a great idea but for some people, the use case is pre-work, lunch, or post-work surf, and stopping at home isn't worth it.
In that case, craigslist/used rack poly, all day. I wouldn't treat an EPS board like that though.
I'm not sure if it was a dud or what the deal was. This was about 5-6 years back. I remember feeling like my other EPS/Epoxy boards at the time were a lot more lively.
Yeah. I go between multiple jobsites so my car is my office. I typically have 2 boards with me all day: PU, EPS, XTR. I just meant most of us already understand not to let your boards heat up. Just want to know how the BD construction feels compared to DA or other alt builds.
“I discovered this about 10 years ago when i was using bi directional Carbon Fiber tapes on the boards and was having perfect buckles that looked like samurai sword perfect breaks. I was watching an episode of Myth Busters and they layed up both uni and 2×2 on a sheet of plywood and smashed it with a wrecking ball. The 2×2 shattered into a million pieces while the wrecking ball actually bounced off of the uni. Light bulb went on. From there all Carbon Fiber material we worked with was either uni or braids. “
not that it relates at all....but i hate my carbon addleboard. my glass oens seem so much burlier
pretty much.looks like a dark arts one one side and standard eps on the other
2x4oz. S glass bottom if I recall?
i wonder if you can request a little more glass to add some weight. that would be my only complaint with the darkarts is they are lighter than i prefer.
