Price wise, Varial is cheaper than CFT but more expensive than XTR. If you factor that you have to get color on XTR (cause it yellows quick), then Varial is only a little more.

yep, color was the load balancer for me as well.

re: stretch, the man himself has said infused glass is the way of the future, but he is too old to start messing with it.

another point for varial - you can leave it in your car all day. Not aware of any tech other than soft tops that this is ok.

Is it weird that i like the stiffness of xtr? I dont like the flex. Probably because im such a power surfer

In that Bobby interview with Stab he says he rode Nathan's quads in Hawaii and loved them. Came back to CA and ordered a three pack from Stretch. Then told CI to make him something like that. They showed the stretch order sheet in the video (SuperBuzz, BuzzSaw and Mr Buzz). Based on the sizes I'm seeing Bobby, Yadin and Parker ride, I'm thinking it's a SuperBuzz.

yup, remember that and remember the situation. They were selling the ones he used on Stretchs website.

Personally, I'd much rather surf like Parker C on a Fishbeard than Bobby M on a Bobby Quad, but I'm curious to see what it's about. (Bobby rips, no doubt, just not a fan of his style.)

Apologies for the slight threadjack.

Damn you guys, the varial hype is getting to me

 

[ReForest]

where do you see any point where he was lacking in control? Thing looks like it does exactly what he wants it to do-- the two slides he does on those two backside wraps are perfect controlled slides

The 5th turn. Dont get me wrong, Parker is ripping and the turns look sick! Maybe its how he blows the fins out. Idk... when i saw it the first time it looked like the tail was sliding out.

My first thought was Manny Superchunk with the tail

Same. #buzzchunk

Seems like Cole has done a lot of stuff that other shapers have "borrowed" over the years.

Also, you guys realize Racer will be onto some other construction in 2 weeks, right?

It’s probably the sympathy pregnancy hormones

 

[JDJ]

By other construction, you mean a standard PU build.

I want to see progress pics, how much faster does raver go thru a board? do hawaiins go thru them faster? i feel like kaimai henrys big azz goes through a boar a week

 

[racer1]

Damn. Thought this was the trust tree.

 

[bubbs]

OMG you guys. Do you think Stretch is going to come out with a butt-hurt insta post how CI ripped off his board that he's been making for 10+ years??... "at least they got the rocker horribly wrong" LOL #bobbybuzz

Bushman and stretch claiming concave decks

I think Nathan Fletcher shaped the original buzz boards, no? Somebody on here had a pic of them and they were called Boogie Snorkels or something silly.

Lol. I guess he won't appreciate when the new model is called "Mr. Martinez"

Can't wait to drop another $150 on CI's inevitable new upright Bobby quad fin set in hollow-core, carbon fiber-inlayed space age composite materials with his signature green-red-white graphics.


what makes you want this more than the Stretch?

Sir bobby rides glass ons

Blend that top edge like Bushman says and you have Owl's version of the Brewer Rail

Small tuck with angled side to the flat deck , now revolutionary being slight concave
