Yep, both my hyfi and PU are measured that way.
Edit: *actually I've confused myself (which isn;t hard)...whichever way works out longer, that's how JS are measured. My 5'9 JS is easily as long as a 5'10 DHD.

That's interesting.
Stu's known to be a top notch shaper. Surely he couldn't be the only one shaping JS's stateside. I wonder if he was just shaping SoCal orders??
See, you can give insight.
You could've done that in the Pony thread.
Also you could've elaborated on the Backyards comment.
Now, go ahead and tell us what the problem is with Aussie blanks.
No need to play games.

On the very positive Don Burford was a great guy to work with
He knew all his competitors formulas to be fully aware in his business of building surfboard blanks
Find someone else to sh!t talk please -

Around 1999 -2000 Clark foam had Rawson Blanks and the new Rusty close to shape Blanks
For some reason there seemed to be more foam - denser per volume in the Rusty Blanks in Blue and Green density
One company brought Glen Minami in to help support their glass shop
He used these rusty blanks while the main company used blanks from Oz
I told the owner the formula was changing for a few years
Both sold boards to Hanalei surf company
They eventually called complaing about denting and praied Glen's boards as and example of durability
Both being glassed by the same workers
The owner of the Oz built blanks was making what his customers wanted in Oz - smaller cells to absorb less resin to create lighter boards
Smallercells have thinner walls of plastic and crush easier

I think knowledge of different blank formulas and densities is a giant black hole and would really benefit consumers if more was known.
I'd love to find out what blank they are using for the Pyzel Ghosts made in Oz (TC Glasshouse at Tweed, not Currumbin).
Mine's 3 years old and fcukiing bulletproof.
And the weight/density feels perfect.

not sure the blanks or glassing but TC is known to be the best glasser on the coast. Impeccable glass jobs

The fact that they came in and painted over the rat rod grafitti that had been there for over 8 yrs. makes for an
interesting way to enter into the local community....
Greg, I think we have discussed this before? The release you are talking about is "whisker spray" from the plane being lifted out of the water. Whisker spray contributes nothing to lift, but is a known source of drag in speed boats - so some use "spray rails" - bars designed to deflect the spray to reduce drag. I sometimes wonder if that is what deep channels do.
