It appears what I make gets the down vote here

What I make takes a lot of time

Matt should get an Errb approved board

More time to play for me :)
I wouldn't say that.
It's more a case of ERRB regulars are by now so familiar with your work, back catalogue and current boards through pics you have shared that there's no need to comment - almost!

After a long week of paddling and getting destroyed at various NS locations I yolo'd this Makaha Special from Downing and went to less heavy breaks on other coasts of Oahu, gave it a go at small Sunset the other day as well. 10'6, wide but pulled in nose and pinny tail, a relief for my shoulders and stll not a boat at 6'3" 255 right now. He had a 9'0" and a 9'6" with the same outline. Pretty cool board.

Walden 8’ magic model would be nice for you too. My favorite all around is the M13 in a 7’. Amazing magic board.

Different strokes Greg.
I'm sure your boards work great. High performance longboarding has a strong, logical, presence in HI. No offense, but I don't want to surf like any of the photos you posted if I'm taking out a longboard today, and the waves probably won't look like that either. The hang 5 photo you posted isn't a strong sell for me. Not the kind of nose riding most are searching for when they "need to get a longboard".

I've seen A LOT of great longboarders on boards like those, and they surf them well. But I don't think most pedestrian users are riding them in waves where they shine.
