Some people just want that different feel...I get that.
Like it was said, some like a 57 chevy & some want a Ferrari
4 figure pu/pe artisan custom made from the finest organic chemicals...
I'm refering to the ones Coons is speaking of
You propably don't know of those Velzy ones
The Improved ones have wider tail blocks
koons > lovelace
classier too. maybe ryan is just trolling everyone since any publicity = $$$. good for him. i want one of his gravel vbowls. again, my slim fit v-neck t-shirt is too small now. sigh.

Yeah, I don't think the person who's going to spend >$1k and wait 6 months for a Lovelace custom is gonna jump to Super's "version" over $50-250. They're in it for that #ifyouknowyouknow recognition from the other midlenth cool dads. Maybe Super just needs to rebrand so their whole vibe doesn't "seem" so corpo, if they're really not like Koons claims.
It doesn't sound like he needs the publicity since he can't keep up with orders now.
Also, you realize the actual hipster kids now are not wearing skinny fits anymore, it's all dad jeans and baggy 90's skate look once again. Your thunder thighs will have plenty of room in the JNCOs
The two boards share more in common than just the general pig concept, imo. I genuinely don't think the superbrand would exist without the vbowls.
But as someone else mentioned, lovelace makes a channel bottom twin that probably wouldn't exist without simon jones, so he shouldn't bitch too much about it.
Ultimately it's good that custom and/or copyright law is such that all the shapers can just make whatever they want or whatever is in vogue. The small volume, hand shaping guy who makes most of my boards also started making a twin that's clearly based on the simon jones, and I'm gonna order one soon, i'm excited for it.
Superbrands are for kooks though -- no offense to anyone who owns one but it's a kook brand.

Ryan doesn’t even have the time to fulfill the orders he already has. He should just shut up and shape.
Did Sissyboy ripoff the PrimaDonna?
Your sarcasm is a tad ironic considering the topic of this thread.
I never thought mid lengths would become the new high performance thruster.

whens the last time someone did something totally original that worked well?
Rip Off's of many first attempts at shaping ! ;-)
