4 years in and Rich randomly calls one day to meet up and shape the board. I get there and it's already roughly cut. He spent another 4 hours fine tuning it and it's an amazing board, unlike the other Speedialers I've seen.
Curious, who's got really short turn around atm?Turnaround times are pretty quick right now.
Not a good thing IMO.
Fastest was SK, 1.5 weeks

well, some shapers deliver in days so months isn't a precise enough measurementFor fvcks sakes these aren't babies.
Can we all just switch over to months for simplicity please? Rounding up or down is fine.
P.S. If you're telling me your baby's age, do it in months as well.
P.P.S. I don't want to hear about your baby.
Longer than 2 weeks I’m gettin annoyed.
who you getting from delivering so quickly?last 2 customs took 1.5 and 2 weeks respectively. full color resin tint. i’ll wait 3 wks max for a custom now
Despite wanting less surfers in the water I think it's good for surfing when shapers have steady business.Why not good?
maybe more a sign of peoples confidence in the economy and a robust used market as covid kooks work through the trial and error of board buying, than firewire/slater/et al pos pop outsDespite wanting less surfers in the water I think it's good for surfing when shapers have steady business.
I think the craftsman aspect of surfing (despite the machine) and local shapers and glassers are important.
Relationship with customers, direct feedback, local wave knowledge, etc.
Like when Gunther made that board for you there was meaning in that human interaction, wouldn't you say? The whole act of going to his workshop to look for a board and then the way things worked out. A little story that probably played over in your mind a few times since.
When this is gone and 95% of boards are being made in Xinghuazou, China... I think it will be surfing's biggest turn for the worst.
Those Tommy Stumps or your Lovemachine a-hole domestic popouts?last 2 customs took 1.5 and 2 weeks respectively. full color resin tint. i’ll wait 3 wks max for a custom now
