That was my thought. Remember Aviso? They're out-of-business.Fun fact: carbon doesnt expand when heated, it constricts.
how does that do with surfborts in hot cars? I dunno.

Like a tigh-ger!It makes for tighter sick shreds, obviously.
If you're like me, when you get to the beach you forget all about surfing and start bronzing.yeah, yeah. any idiot knows not to leave any board in a hot car.
How does this construction surf??
@MrSteve Have you surfed both BD and DA?
That's interesting; my Bean Bag feels pretty flexy to me.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.yeah, yeah. any idiot knows not to leave any board in a hot car.

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.That's interesting; my Bean Bag feels pretty flexy to me.
That’s what she saidThat's interesting; my Bean Bag feels pretty flexy to me.
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 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.
Andy sure loved his glass ons.quote from the New AI Movie:
"It was the minute details of Andy Irons and The Radicals that drew me in. I was intrigued by Andy’s struggle to find the right board, despite trying them all. Plus, the fact that he wasn’t tied down to one single shaper was astonishing; any CT surfer caught on the wrong board today is reprimanded accordingly."

Hmmmm
looks like a dark arts one one side and standard eps on the otherany more ride reports on these black dart boars?
price seems downright reasonable compared to DA or Vanerial cabron.
although it is only carbon on the deckside I think.
pretty much.looks like a dark arts one one side and standard eps on the other
